If you want information on operating a vessel for work or commercial activities
(non-pleasure craft), visit www.tc.gc.ca/marinesafety or contact your local
Transport Canada Centre.
These requirements do not apply to inatable self-propelled water toys
because these toys are not designed for use in open water. If you do choose
to operate these toys in open water, they will be treated as pleasure craft and
subject to the same strict rules. Remember as well that operating a propeller-
driven surfboard is against the law in Canada.
The following list of equipment is the minimum that is required. You may want to
bring more equipment based on your type of boat, your water activity, and the
current and forecast weather and water conditions.

Minimum Safety Equipment Requirements
The safety equipment Canada requires
you to carry on board is based on the
type and length of your boat. It must
be on board, in good working order
and always easy to reach so that it can
be used in an emergency. You can nd
the length of your boat by reading the
manufacturer’s product information or
by measuring it yourself (from the front
outside surface of the hull shell to the
back outside surface of the hull shell
— bow to stern).
Remember that these requirements apply only to pleasure craft and are the same
whether you own, rent or borrow the boat. This includes typical boats like power
boats, sail boats and personal watercraft, as well as less common boats like
airboats, air cushion vehicles (hovercraft) and wing-in-ground eect vessels that
are used only for recreation. These requirements also apply to kiteboards.
Remember:
All safety equipment must be Canadian-approved and there must be
enough lifejackets that t, have enough buoyancy and are in good
condition for everyone on board your boat.
Minimum Safety Equipment Requirements by Boat Type and Length
* Only required if the vertical height that must be climbed to reboard the boat from the water is over 0.5m (1’8”).
** Only required if the boat is operated after sunset, before sunrise or in periods of restricted visibility (fog,
falling snow, etc.).
*** Not required if the boat is 8m (26’3”) or less and operated within sight of navigationmarks.
