ECO TIPS - Float Plan Float Plan A float plan is a list of basic information that you want to leave with a responsible person and/or the business from where you rent the kayaks for your trip. It should contain emergency contacts, number of people travelling in a group, etc. Filling it out also makes you think about what to do in case an emergency should happen. A completed float plan can help in rescue efforts whether by the coast guard or by private means. To make it easier for you we have included a float plan on this page. Just copy it, send to as many people as you wish, give one copy to the kayak rental business and keep one copy with you. Be safe - complete a float plan for all trips!
