What Safety Gear Do I Need on My Canoe?

- Sound Devices: such as an air horn or an electronic horn must be on any watercraft to let other boats know where your position is.
- Navigational Lights
What Accessories Can You Buy for a Kayak?
- Fishing Accessories
- Rod Holders: Fish right from the boat with your fishing rods.
- Coolers & Cup Holders: Keep your lunch cool, and bring your coffee when you’re out on the water!
- Bungees & Webbing: Used for positioning the mooring cover.
- Canoe & Kayak Carts: Rolling a boat is more accessible than carrying one, especially if you don’t have a buddy to help.
- Dry bags: You’ll need these for on-deck essentials and overnight supplies.
- Clip-on deck Kayak Accessories: Chart holders and compass mounts help keep you on course; cargo nets or extra bungee cords keep essentials handy.
- Screw-on deck mounts: Permanently attached mounts let you secure items ranging from fishing-rod holders to cell phones.
- Spray Skirts & Cockpit Covers: A cover keeps the rain out before you launch and deters camp creatures from stowing away during storage or overnight trips.
- Scupper Plugs: This sit-on-top kayak accessory blocks a scupper hole whenever more water is coming up through it than is draining out.
What Are Some of the Different Types of Paddles?
Not all canoe and kayak paddles are the same. Some are used for different types of watercraft. You can use short canoe paddles in a kayak. But suppose you’re a canoeist who loves to head out alone. In that case, you may consider using a double-bladed paddle instead—what most people see as a kayak paddle. Some solo canoeists prefer using a single-bladed paddle; some prefer a double-bladed one. It comes down to preference—everyone has no right or wrong. If you are a recreational kayaker, blades of either polypropylene or fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene will work well. Blade shapes can either be elongated symmetrical, or asymmetrical. Either an aluminum or fiberglass shaft will work well for a recreational kayaker. Oars are attached to the boat; the paddle is held by the paddler rather than connected to the vessel. Paddles are used for paddling kayaks, canoes, rafts, and stand-up paddleboards; oars are used for rowing johnboats, rowboats, sculls, and sweep-oar boats.
What Is a Dry Bag?
A dry bag is a waterproof bag that keeps belongings safe and dry. Dry bags come in all shapes and sizes, but they all have one common goal: keeping your gear dry when you’re in a canoe or kayak.
