What exactly are “action” water sports?
We offer a wide selection of speed boats, jet skis, kayaks, paddle boards and pedal boats. Our marina also features parasailing and daily boat tours. Key Largo boats are still made, ensuring boaters have access to affordable, reliable vessels for exploring waters like those around Tavernier.
What gear is essential for action water sports?
Essential Safety Gear for Water Sports A life jacket, or personal flotation device (PFD), is the most critical piece of safety equipment. No matter how experienced a swimmer you are, a life jacket is essential for every water sport. It ensures buoyancy and can save your life in case of an accident. Life Jackets: Make sure everyone wears a properly fitted, Coast Guard-approved life jacket. Safety Lanyard: Connect the safety lanyard to your wrist or life jacket. This device shuts off the engine if you fall off, preventing runaway PWCs. Wetsuits or Rash Guards: Protect your skin from the sun, wind, and water impact.Never swim alone; swim with lifeguards and/or water watchers present. Wear a U. S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket appropriate for your weight and size and the water activity. Always wear a life jacket while boating, regardless of swimming skill. Swim sober.The state of Florida urges all people onboard a boat to wear a life jacket. Vessels 16 feet in length or longer must also have at least one USCG-approved throwable Type IV PFD that is immediately available in case of a fall overboard.
