Is this the right signal for my boat?

Recreational-grade signals. USCG approved for recreational boats and six-pack charters. Most inspected and offshore commercial vessels need different or SOLAS-grade signals. Check our visual distress signal guide or see commercial / SOLAS pyrotechnics before buying for a commercial vessel.

Pyrotechnic signals are marked with an expiration date (42 months from manufacture). Expired signals do not count toward the carriage requirement.
