It depends on the legislation of the country you are in.

US Coast Guard regulations specify which types, sizes and configurations of boats require fire extinguishers. Anything not within those requirements can be operated without a fire extinguisher aboard. But it is often better to be prepared even at a higher level than the minimum standards.

What type of fire extinguisher on-board of a PWC?

PWCs and boats up to 26 feet must carry at least one B-I fire extinguisher unless exempt (i.e., Class A or 1, open, outboard motor, not carrying passengers for hire, etc). A B-1 extinguisher may be a 2-pound dry chem, 4-pound CO2 or 6 quart foam, if properly labelled as USCG certified. Boats 26 to 40 feet must carry two B-I or one B-II. If there is a permanently installed fire extinguisher system only one B-I extinguisher is required. For vessels 40 to 65 feet, three B-I or one B-II and one B-I extinguishers are required. Vessels in this class with permanently installed fire extinguisher systems are required to carry two B-I or one B-II extinguishers. Vessels without combustible fuel onboard, no gasoline engine or no areas where vapors can be trapped are not required to carry a fire extinguisher.
