Pre-Departure & Float Plan Checklist Set

Description

The boat pre-departure checklist and float plan set that gets you off the dock safely — and home on time. Built from real, multi-boat ownership: practical, no fluff, just what matters before you cast off.

What’s included

• Pre-departure checklist — trip prep & fuel planning, documents aboard, a full engine / fuel / bilge run-through, safety gear, navigation & comms, and a crew safety brief.
• Trailer & launch checks — lights, bearings, tie-downs, drain plug and ramp steps for trailer boats.
• Float plan — the fill-in plan you leave with someone ashore (vessel, operator, persons aboard, trip & route, comms) with clear “if overdue” escalation steps. Leave it with a reliable shore contact — don’t file it with the Coast Guard.
• Print & Write or Fillable — type your float plan on screen, save it, then text or print a copy for your shore contact (open the fillable PDF in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to type).

Why boaters keep it aboard

Most on-the-water trouble traces back to something skipped at the dock. Running the same checklist every trip turns safety into a habit instead of a hope — whether you’re a new owner or a seasoned skipper.
