Life Jacket Exchanges

Join the Arizona Game and Fish Department Boating Safety Education Program in promoting water safety at upcoming life jacket exchange events. During the exchanges, people with old, worn out and less-effective life jackets can swap them for a new one, while supplies last. Please note that Type I and Type II life jackets will not be accepted. 

State law requires all passengers 12 years old and younger to wear a life jacket while on board and each passenger must have a properly fitting, U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket available.
