Safety Equipment

BB Pelagic is a US Coast Guard registered vessel. We are equipped with an EPIRB satellite transponder, 8 person automatic deploying life raft, and self inflating life preserver vests for our deep sea excursions where we are fishing at night. We also have a Flir night vision camera to help locate anyone that may fall overboard. We have an MMSI equipped radio that allows the US Coast Guard to locate our vessel in emergency by way of GPS coordinates and a vessel description should the vessel sink.

Why so much Safety Equipment?

We know these descriptions make the BB Pelagic sound like the USS Minnow on a 3 hour tour and that is exactly the point. We don’t have the professor to build a nuclear reactor from two coconuts, so we have spent, and will continue to spend, a large amount of money to be ready for any safety eventuality. We hope and expect that through the years of operating our boat that this will be money spent on equipment that will never be used. But as we want to plan for the worst, if something as catastrophic as our beloved vessel sinking in the open waters off shore, being prepared to be safe until we are rescued is priceless.
