As a boat captain, you're often the first responder in emergencies onboard. CPR and First Aid skills are essential for responding quickly and effectively until professional help arrives, which can be delayed due to location and access. This educational material is intended solely as a supplemental resource for licensed or aspiring boat captains who have completed, or are in the process of completing, a certified CPR and First Aid course. It is not a substitute for official CPR/AED certification, nor does it serve as a credential to operate a vessel or qualify as a licensed boat captain. The content presented focuses on emergency response skills specific to marine environments and is designed to enhance awareness and preparedness. While it outlines practical strategies for managing emergencies on the water, it does not replace hands-on training, legal certification, or official maritime licensing requirements. Boat captains are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable U.S. Coast Guard regulations, Florida maritime laws, and vessel-specific safety protocols, including those related to emergency communication, medical response, and passenger care. Vida Training Center and its affiliates assume no liability for injuries, losses, or damages resulting from the application or misapplication of the information in this guide. For real-world emergencies, always follow certified training, seek professional medical assistance when available, and adhere to your legal duty to render aid without placing yourself or others in undue danger. If you are unsure about your legal responsibilities or certification status, consult with a certified CPR instructor, maritime authority, or legal professional. Read more
