What type of equipment must all vessels be equipped with?

  1. U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets

  2. A GPS system

  3. A fishing license for each passenger

  4. A waterproof radio

The correct answer is: U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets

Vessels must be equipped with U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets because they are essential for ensuring the safety of all passengers on board in case of an emergency. A GPS system, while helpful, is not required for all vessels unless they are operating in certain areas or under specific circumstances. A fishing license for each passenger may be necessary depending on the location and purpose of the vessel, but it is not a requirement for all vessels. A waterproof radio is also helpful in case of an emergency, but it is not required for all vessels. Therefore, the only essential equipment that all vessels must have is U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets.
