In the United States, boaters are typically not required to wear a personal flotation device (PFD) while on recreational vessels such as sailboats or motorboats that are not under way. However, they must have PFDs on board for each person. Certain types of pleasure crafts, like canoes or kayaks, may have specific regulations regarding PFD use depending on local laws, but generally, there are no hard restrictions against wearing one unless specified by local regulations. Always check local laws for specific requirements.
