To operate a 25-foot powerboat, you typically need to carry safety equipment such as life jackets (one for each passenger), a fire extinguisher, a sound signaling device, and a first aid kit. Additionally, it’s essential to have navigation lights, a throwable flotation device, and a buoyant heaving line. Operating licenses or certifications may also be required, depending on local regulations. Always check local laws for specific requirements before setting out.

On an 18-foot powerboat, at least one wearable personal flotation device (PFD) is required for each person on board. Additionally, a throwable PFD, such as a cushion or ring buoy, must also be carried. It's important to ensure that all PFDs are Coast Guard-approved and appropriate for the size and weight of the individuals who will be using them. Always check local regulations, as requirements may vary by state.
