PFD Requirements by Boat Length
Florida law requires children under 6 to wear a USCG-approved PFD at all times when the vessel is underway, unless below deck or in an enclosed cabin.
Vessels 16 feet or longer must carry at least one Type IV throwable device in addition to wearable PFDs for each person.
