The United States Coast Guard and Auxiliary urge all boaters to file a Float Plan before going on the water. Float Plans help search and rescue personnel to locate missing boaters.
On any given day, unexpected marine emergencies caused by engine failure, boating accidents or sudden weather changes may require a search and rescue operation that could be more quickly executed if float plan data is readily available ashore. A float plan includes information about the vessel, the time of departure, estimated time of arrival and the planned course of travel. The float plan is left ashore with a relative, friend or a person at the dock. Should you not return by the time indicated in the plan, the holder of the plan will have been instructed to call authorities.
