Signaling Devices

Stay visible and compliant with U.S. Coast Guard-approved marine signaling devices from U.S. Boating & Marine Supplies. Whether you're boating offshore or on inland waters, every vessel is required to carry boat distress signals that can alert rescuers in an emergency.

Our selection includes boat flares, air horns, whistles, and electronic visual distress signals (eVDSDs) designed for reliability and performance. From compact flare kits to rechargeable LED distress lights, you'll find everything you need to meet Coast Guard visual and sound signaling requirements.

Boat Signaling Devices: Stay Safe and Be Seen

Effective signaling equipment can be the difference between being seen and being stranded. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) requires all boats operating in U.S. waters to carry approved visual distress signals (VDS). These devices help boaters attract attention during emergencies such as breakdowns, collisions, or man-overboard incidents.

At U.S. Boating & Marine Supplies we carry a full range of boat signaling devices including handheld flares, aerial flare launchers, distress flags, and electronic visual distress signals. Many boaters are now switching to eVDSD lights, which use bright strobe LEDs to meet Coast Guard standards without the need for pyrotechnics or replacements.
