OFFSHORE OUTFITTING
For comfort and safety at sea, having proper equipment onboard can make a huge difference.
Outfitting your boat for coastal cruising, heavy-air sailing, downwind sailing or long-term cruising can seem like an overwhelming task.
If you want peace of mind with all the essential equipment onboard, we're here to help. We'll make sure your boat is outfitted with the important items no sailor should be without.
Electronics
Staying up-to-date on boat electronics, navigation, and instruments is essential. We offer expertise and installation of navigation lighting and instrument systems tailored to your needs, whether you're cruising, racing, or motoring. Using top industry brands like Garmin, Raymarine, and B&G, we ensure safe and reliable passage on all your excursions.
Navigation Equipment
Navigation and communication equipment are also essential for outfitting your sailboat for long-term cruising. Navigation equipment is for planning and executing passages, while communication equipment is needed for staying in contact with other vessels, marinas, and land-based services. A tablet with your favourite charting app paired with a VHF radio is a great way to stay on course and travel safely to your destination.
Rescue Beacons
A personal locator beacon (PLB) is a personal electronic transmitting device that is designed to alert potential rescuers to a life-threatening situation in the air, on water or in remote areas. An emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) is a small electronic device that can help search and rescue authorities find people in distress.
Lifejackets
Lifejackets are a required safety item on boats because they provide crucial buoyancy in the event of an accident, such as capsizing or falling overboard. In emergencies, lifejackets can be the difference between life and death, offering critical support until rescue arrives.

Emergency Supplies
Emergency supplies like flares, a first-aid kit, fire blanket, and a fire extinguisher are vital for keeping you safe while at sea. The quantity of supplies needed will vary based on your boat's size and your home port requirements. A properly equipped first-aid kit is crucial for handling basic medical situations, and these items could be lifesaving in a critical moment.
