Ensuring Your Safety on the High Seas
At Dan’s Deep Blue Charters, your safety and enjoyment are my top priorities as we venture into the thrilling world of offshore fishing for either halibut, tuna, or salmon. I understand the excitement and adventure that comes with a day out on the ocean, and I’m committed to making it as safe and memorable as possible.
Comprehensive Safety Equipment and Training
DEEP BLUE is outfitted with quality navigation and safety equipment, including dual dash-mounted Icom 506 radios, a handheld radio, and a Garmin chart plotter for precise GPS location tracking. Prior to setting out, I conduct a detailed safety briefing, covering the use of our onboard emergency equipment such as the EPIRB, flare gun, life jackets, bleeding control kits, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and radio procedures, ensuring you are prepared for any situation.
Life Jacket Policy for Your Protection
Life jackets are mandatory for all passengers throughout the duration of the trip, from departure to return. With water temperatures ranging from the high 40s to 60s, wearing a life jacket is crucial to prevent hypothermia in case of an unexpected immersion. My inflatable life jackets ensure both safety and comfort, allowing passengers to move freely while battling fish. If you have a preferred life jacket, feel free to bring it along, provided it has a current cartridge for optimal functionality.
Alcohol and Smoking Policies for a Safe Journey
In the interest of everyone's safety and well-being, alcohol consumption or smoking, including vaping, is STRICTLY PROHIBITED onboard. The dynamic movement of the deck, coupled with potential hazards like knives, hooks, and gaffs, necessitates full sobriety to maintain balance and coordination. Given the remote nature of our excursions, often hours away from the port, refraining from alcohol and smoking ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for all passengers.
Fostering a Supportive and Enjoyable Environment
I believe in the power of community and camaraderie on the open sea. As we pursue the “big ones,” I encourage everyone to look out for each other, share in the excitement, and contribute to a positive and memorable offshore fishing adventure. Your cooperation and kindness go a long way in creating an unforgettable experience for all. In addition to the above, I conduct a safety briefing before each trip, demonstrating the practical use of safety equipment and procedures in emergency situations.
