Safety Information

Your personal safety is always our top priority while you’re a guest onboard with Hirsh Charters, not only have we filled our boat with high density closed cell foam to ensure it will be unsinkable, we have also invested in live saving equipment such as a E-Pirb and a deployable survival live raft.

The E-pirb is designed to be activated by hitting the water or can be turned on manually, this device will automatically send out a distress signal to the United sates Coast Guard letting them know our exact GPS location and will lead them directly to us.

The Life raft is outfitted with survival equipment, a rain collector, sun shade and Sea Anchors

If in the unfortunate event that there is a situation while out at sea, we will have all the necessary equipment to ensure that you make it home safe.
