# My understanding is that Coast Guard regs require as many life...

*July 3, 2016 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to Austin Staunch's comment.*

My understanding is that Coast Guard regs require as many life jackets as there are passengers on the floating thing.  So, you have to bring a life jacket to ensure that parity exists, but you don't have to wear it if you don't want to.  (Unless you're a kid under the age of 12, outside the cabin.)
