Legal safety equipment for recreational boats in South Australia depends on the type, size and where you operate; you must check the current SA government requirements for your vessel.

Legal requirements can change — check Transport for NSW for the current rules. As a practical baseline for coastal day sailing from NSW shores: keep the right number and type of lifejackets for everyone, have a means of calling for help, show navigation lights if you’ll be out after dusk, and carry basic items to manage a man‑overboard or abandon‑ship situation. Add anchor, bilge/bailer, sun/protection and basic repair kit as recommended items.
