The US Coast Guard requires passengers under the age of 13 to wear life jackets aboard moving vessels.  We have Coast Guard approved infant and child life jackets aboard. If you are cruising with children, you are welcome to bring their own life jackets should it make you feel more comfortable to do so. We also have ample Coast Guard-approved adult life jackets aboard should passengers choose to wear one or should the need arise.
