How many flares must be on a boat?

The number of flares required on a boat varies depending on the type and size of the vessel and the regulations of the country in which you are operating. In the United States, for example, recreational boats must carry at least three flares that are U.S. Coast Guard approved. It's essential to check local regulations and ensure that you have the appropriate number and type of flares for safety and compliance. Always keep flares stored in a dry, accessible location.
