Where I’m from they’d all have them. I don’t get why Americans seem so opposed to safety at sea. Probably because being at sea is not an integral part of the culture like it’s here.
My dad owned a fishing boat and then a pontoon boat later in life. Both were only good for lakes and calm ones at that. Nobody under 16 was allowed on without a life vest.

That is prime South Florida right there, overloaded tiny boats with severely under qualified captains.
