Always remember the life jacket

Having a lifejacket on board is essential for safety at sea. Lifejackets keep people afloat and prevent drowning in emergency situations. They increase visibility for rescuers, are comfortable to wear and reduce panic by providing a sense of security. Furthermore, in many countries it is mandatory by law to have life jackets on board, making them necessary to avoid legal consequences. Unpredictable weather conditions and unexpected issues make it important to always be prepared, and life jackets are an essential part of that preparation.
