In general, U.S. commercial fishing vessels, uninspected passenger vessels which carry six or more people, and uninspected commercial vessels are required to carry an EPIRB. You should look at the specific requirements to determine whether you need to carry an EPIRB. The requirements are available in the Code of Federal Regulations which can be found at www.access.gpo.gov under Title 46 – Shipping. Regardless of the requirements, if you operate a vessel outside of radio range it would be a good idea to carry an EPIRB.
