DFW BOAT RIDE – CREW EMERGENCY PROCEDURES ON VESSEL

1.      Fire Extinguishers Locations – There are multiple fire extinguishers aboard both boats, Harbor Lights and Sapphire Moon. Some are red, some white. Either of these can be used for any type of fire aboard.

a.      Upper Deck Fire Extinguisher Locations – adjacent the top of the stairs to the rear of the boat.

b.      Lower Deck Fire Extinguisher Locations – forward near the captain’s steering station and at the rear near the exit.

2.      Fire – Move away from the fire if a crew member is using an extinguisher. Otherwise grab the nearest fire extinguisher and follow the instructions on the label, notify the crew. If the crew is unable to extinguish the fire you will be directed to put on a life jacket and get off the boat; always jump into the water feet first.

3.      Explosion – If the captain and crew are incapacitated, put on a life jacket (PFD) and exit the boat. Jump into the water feet first and get away. Stay together as a group as best you can.

4.      Emergency Communications in case of Captain and Crew Incapacitated ONLY

a.      Telephone - Dial 911 using Cell Phone. The Rockwall Harbor you departed from is on the East side of the lake.

b.      VHF Radio - Emergency use of the a VHF Radio is not recommended on Lake Ray Hubbard as it is not monitored by emergency services and typically not monitored by other vessels. Dial 911.

5.      Man Overboard – DO NOT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE VICTIM! 

a.      Point at the victim in the water and yell, “MAN OVERBOARD!” three times and continue to point. 

b.      If the crew has not already deployed the Life Ring Buoy (located rear of the boat), have someone else throw the ring in the water toward the victim and keep your eyes on the victim, and keep pointing at the victim.

6.      First Aid Kit – Aboard Harbor Lights the kit is located at front of the main deck and mounted onto the tall port side life jacket case. Aboard Sapphire Moon the kit is located inside the lower cabinet just aft (toward the rear) of the beverage bar.


7. Life Jackets (PFD’s) are throughout the boat as indicated by signage, both upper and lower decks. Wherever you see a life jacket sign on a storage case or seat bench, there are life jackets. The Captain’s safety briefing also speaks to locations during the safety briefing aboard.

8.      Escape Routes – As directed by the captain and crew in an emergency, the boat can be abandoned from the front or rear of the main (lower) deck, as well from all sides on the upper deck. Put on a life jacket before leaving the boat and leave personal belongings behind. Use any exit. Always enter the water feet first.

9.      Leaks or Damage Control - In the event of major damage to the hull the captain or crew will immediately head to the nearest dock, or if necessary the nearest shore; all shoreline around Lake Ray Hubbard is very shallow. Both boats Harbor Lights and Sapphire Moon, float on commercial built passenger service hulls, with each hull having eight or more sealed collision bulk heads inside each hull; both boats are multi-hull vessels. This means that even if more than one hull’s floatation compartment is damaged or punctured, flooding is isolated and the boat will remain afloat.

10.      Abandon Ship – Do not leave the boat unless ordered by the captain

a.   In an extreme emergency where the captain orders “Abandon Ship”, put on a life jacket and the captain and crew will instruct you where to disembark the boat. 

b.    If the captain and crew are incapacitated, put on a life jacket and get in the water feet first.
