How many ring life buoys must a small passenger vessel, of less than 65 feet in length, carry?

Correct Answer: Option A — 1

46 CFR 180.70 requires small passenger vessels under 65 feet in length to carry at least one ring life buoy. This essential piece of lifesaving equipment must be readily accessible for immediate deployment to assist a person in the water, serving as a primary man-overboard rescue device.
