While the standard safety gear, such as life jackets, flares, and a well-stocked first-aid kit, should always be on board, there are a few additional items that can prove invaluable for this particular voyage.
Investing in a high-quality sea anchor can be a lifesaver in case of engine failure or adverse weather conditions. Additionally, a reliable EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) and a personal locator beacon can provide peace of mind should you ever find yourself in a distressing situation.
