Every piece of equipment on the 2027 Yamaha Crosswave is chosen for your safety, comfort, and success on the water. Here's exactly what you'll have access to on every rental.

Safety Equipment

Safety Gear

Coast Guard-compliant safety equipment is standard on every rental at no additional charge — no exceptions. You'll have everything required by law and then some, so you can focus on the adventure.

Marine safety equipment on board

Life Jackets Provided — Sizing Form Required

We provide properly fitted USCG-approved life jackets for every rider at no charge. To ensure the right fit for your safety, all guests must complete the booking form with their height and weight before arrival. Proper sizing is not optional — an ill-fitting life jacket can be as dangerous as none at all.

Sizing Form Required

Life Jackets (USCG-Approved)

USCG-approved Type III personal flotation devices provided for every rider on board at no additional charge. Because fit is critical to effectiveness, all guests must submit their height and weight via the booking form prior to arrival so we can have the correct sizes ready.

Class-D DSC GPS

Cobra BlueBound 650 Marine VHF Radio

A Class-D DSC GPS-enabled VHF marine radio. In an emergency, a single button press transmits your exact GPS coordinates to the Coast Guard and nearby vessels. Provides real-time NOAA weather alerts and two-way communication across all marine channels.

12V 500A Ultra-Safe

NOCO Boost Sport Jump Starter

An ultra-compact 12V 500A lithium jump starter built for marine use. Spark-proof and reverse polarity protected, it provides reliable engine restart capability on the water without needing another vessel.

National Safe Boating Council

ORION First Aid Kit

The official first aid kit of the National Safe Boating Council. Stocked with marine-specific supplies for cuts, burns, and common on-water injuries. Meets USCG recommendations for recreational vessels.

USCG-Approved

ORION Flares

USCG-approved visual distress signals required by federal law on all recreational vessels operating on coastal waters. Highly visible to rescuers and passing vessels in an emergency, day or night.

Backup Propulsion

Emergency Paddle

A full-size emergency paddle stored on board as a backup in the unlikely event of engine failure. Provides a reliable means of returning to shore or maneuvering to a safe position while awaiting assistance.

USCG-Required

Boat Horn

A USCG-required sound signaling device for vessels under 39.4 feet. Used to signal position in low visibility, communicate with other vessels, and alert nearby boats in an emergency situation.

Personal Safety

Emergency Whistle

A high-decibel emergency whistle provided for every rider on board. In a man-overboard situation, it allows individuals in the water to signal their location to rescuers and nearby vessels.

Fishing Equipment

Fishing Gear

Fishing gear is available as an add-on to any rental package. All tackle is rigged and ready — just bring your FWC Saltwater Fishing License and your enthusiasm.

Saltwater-Rated

Fishing Rods & Reels

Saltwater-rated spinning rod and reel combos pre-spooled with quality monofilament line. Suitable for inshore and nearshore Tampa Bay species including snook, redfish, trout, and more.

Tampa Bay Curated

Tackle & Lures

A curated selection of hooks, weights, leaders, soft plastics, and hard lures chosen specifically for the species and conditions found in Tampa Bay. No need to bring your own — everything is stocked and ready.

Live & Cut

Bait Options

Live and cut bait options available depending on season and availability. The Yamaha Crosswave's built-in fish finder helps you locate structure and schools so your bait goes exactly where it needs to.

Factory-Installed

Built-In Fish Finder

The 2027 Yamaha Crosswave comes factory-equipped with a built-in fish finder — a feature unique to this model. Displays depth, water temperature, and fish location in real time.

Fishing Add-On

Landing Net

A full-size landing net for safely bringing your catch aboard without losing it at the side of the vessel. Essential for larger inshore species like snook and redfish where a clean, controlled landing makes all the difference.

Fishing Add-On

Insulated Fish Bag

A heavy-duty insulated fish bag for keeping your catch fresh from the moment it comes out of the water until you're back at the dock. Pairs perfectly with the Crosswave's rear cooler and ice to preserve your haul in Florida's heat.

On-Board Provisions

Hydration & Emergency Provisions

We take care of the basics so you can focus on the water. Every rental includes complimentary bottled water, ice, and emergency rations — because being prepared is part of the experience.

Stay Hydrated on the Water

Florida's open water sun and heat can cause dehydration faster than you expect. We provide complimentary bottled water, but we strongly recommend bringing extra water and electrolyte drinks — especially from May through September. There are no convenience stops once you're out on Tampa Bay.

Included

Rear Cooler with Ice

The 2027 Yamaha Crosswave features a built-in rear cooler — perfect for keeping your drinks and refreshments cold throughout your rental. We stock it with ice before every trip at no additional charge. Bring your own beverages and snacks to fill it up.

Included

Complimentary Bottled Water

Bottled water is provided on every rental at no charge. Florida heat is no joke — we strongly recommend bringing additional water and electrolyte drinks of your own, especially during the warmer months. Staying hydrated on the water is essential.

Emergency Use Only

Emergency MREs (x2)

Two Meals Ready to Eat (MREs) are stored on board for emergency use only. In the unlikely event that you are stranded or delayed on the water for an extended period, these provide essential calories and nutrition until assistance arrives.

All gear is prepped and waiting. Reserve your adventure and we'll handle the rest.
