Pelican Nautical Safety Kit | Boating & Paddle Safety Kit

Why Every Boat Needs a Safety Kit

A buddy of mine lost his outboard at dusk on a flat-calm lake. He wasn’t far from camp, but his phone was dead and he had no light. Nobody could see him, and he spent an hour bailing a little water and yelling before another boat finally spotted him.

What a boating safety kit should do

A good boating safety kit solves that problem before it starts. The Pelican Nautical Safety Kit packs the basics for being seen, being heard, and staying afloat into one compact bucket. Because it’s small and light, it fits in most kayak hatches and boat compartments.

Be seen and heard on the water

The IPX5 waterproof headlamp has six white and red lighting modes, so you can see in the dark and signal your position. The signal mirror is built into the bailer bucket cap, which makes it easy to flash a passing boat or a shoreline in daylight. In addition, the whistle clips to your PFD or hangs around your neck, so it’s always within reach when your voice won’t carry.

Tow, rescue, and bail

The 50 ft floating rope handles towing and rescue. It floats, so you can toss it to someone in the water or hook up a drifting boat. Meanwhile, the bailer bucket clears water from your craft fast. All of it stores inside the bucket for grab-and-go access.
