Do I need to have a lifejacket (U.S. Coast Guard personal flotation device) for every person onboard?
Yes. There must be a U.S. Coast Guard approved flotation device for every person on board any vessel, personal watercraft (PWC), canoe, kayaks and rowboats. If aboard a PWC, it must be worn at all times when the PWC is in operation. From November 1 to May 1, lifejackets must be worn by all persons on boats under 21′, canoes, kayaks, rowboats while they are underway.
