Supplies & chandlery
Find a local supplier or chandler for lifejackets, beacons, flares and other essential safety gear for your boat. Compare 19 reviewed businesses, local coverage and customer feedback.
Safety equipment suppliers and chandlers stock, fit and service the items that keep you and your crew alive and legal on the water. They sell lifejackets and harnesses, distress beacons, flares, fire extinguishers, man-overboard aids, immersion suits, life-rafts and the smaller consumables like emergency lights, whistles and buoyant lines. Many also offer fitting and installation, servicing for inflatable devices and rafts, battery replacements and disposal of expired pyrotechnics. You’ll look for a safety equipment supplier when you need to outfit a new boat, replace old or expired kit, upgrade for a planned coastal trip, or get an inflatable lifejacket or life-raft serviced. Sailors also visit chandlers to buy spares and consumables — replacement lights, whistle lanyards, crotch straps, rearming kits, mounting brackets and testing accessories. A supplier can help you match equipment to your vessel, crew size and intended waters, and may be able to demonstrate unfamiliar devices so you and your crew feel confident using them. A good supplier is practical and safety-focused: they ask where you go, how many people are aboard, what weight ranges you need to cover, and whether you overnight or go offshore. They’ll check expiry dates, visible wear and fit, explain limitations and maintenance needs, and make sensible recommendations rather than pushing the most expensive items. Where services are offered, expect a written checklist of work done and any parts replaced. Costs, service intervals and regulatory requirements vary by state, vessel size and intended use — a supplier can explain how these apply to your situation but specific legal obligations depend on your vessel and location.
