Your EPIRB is one of those things you hope you never need…

…but if you do, it needs to work immediately.

Here’s your quick EPIRB check:

✔ Check battery expiry date
✔ Confirm registration details are current
✔ Inspect casing for cracks or damage
✔ Make sure mounting is secure and accessible
✔ Ensure everyone onboard knows where it is

Too many owners assume “it’s there” means it’s ready.

First Mate helps you track EPIRB battery expiry, registration reminders, and safety checks so nothing gets missed before heading offshore.

Because safety gear only matters if it works when it matters most.

Simple checks.
Safer boating.

Life jackets save lives—
but only if they’re actually ready to do their job.

Here’s your quick 60-second life jacket check:

✔ Check straps and buckles for wear
✔ Inspect for tears, cracks, or damage
✔ Confirm inflatable jackets are serviced
✔ Make sure the right size is onboard for everyone
✔ Check kids’ jackets properly fit

Too many people assume “it looks fine” means it is fine.

First Mate helps you track life jacket servicing, safety checks, and reminders so nothing gets missed before you leave the ramp.

Because safety starts before the engine does.

Simple checks.

Most boat fires start small…

Electrical faults.
Fuel vapours.
Battery issues.
Simple accidents.

The problem is—they don’t stay small for long.

Here’s your quick fire extinguisher check:

✔ Check pressure gauge is in the green
✔ Inspect for rust, dents, or damage
✔ Confirm expiry or service date
✔ Make sure it’s mounted securely
✔ Ensure everyone onboard knows where it is

Too many owners assume “it’s there” means it works.

First Mate helps you track fire extinguisher servicing, expiry reminders, and safety checks so nothing gets missed before heading out.

Because the best fire emergency is the one you’re prepared for.

Simple checks.
Safer boating.

Don’t worry, you can find Scimitar Power Catamarans in the First Mate directory all year round. Even though they are unable to display @ SCIBS due to delivering on their customer commitments it was great to see some of their team flying the Scimitar flag on the weekend.

Sorry, we won’t be exhibiting at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat show, 2026. We are proudly mid-build a brand new 1010 model for some amazing clients in the US!

But, some of our Crew will be roaming around the show! Just don’t tell Production/Build Team!
Keep an eye out for some sneaky socials!
