Float plan

Float Plan

A float plan is the cheapest life insurance on the water. Leave it with a person, not a note on the counter. If plans change, text them — an unneeded search is embarrassing, a needed one that never launches is fatal.

WHO — names + cell numbers of every rider

CRAFT — make, model, color, registration number of each ski

LAUNCH — ramp name and time you’re splashing

ROUTE — zones you’ll ride (use the zone names from this app)

RETURN — expected time back at the ramp

TRIGGER — when to call for help (standard: 1 hour overdue, no contact)

CONTACTS — Emergencies: 911 / VHF Ch 16 · your local USCG sector
