The Tektite SOSeFlare™ is a USCG registered/compliant Night electronic Visual Distress Signal, or eVDS, meeting the requirements of 46 CFR 161.013 (Electric Distress Light for Boats). In addition, the KIT package includes a Distress Flag that meets the requirements of 46 CFR 160.072, providing an approved Day Visual Distress Signal, as well as a SOLAS/USCG compliant whistle that fulfills the audible signal carriage requirement.

Legal flare replacement for night signal use in USA, Tasmania, Western Australia, Finland. Other areas, please check local regulations. SOLAS/COLREGS Annex IV (1:d) compliant as a distress signal (does not replace flares).  

The KIT included Distress Flag is for signaling during daylight hours. It can be attached to the mast, antenna, or hoisted to the highest point on the vessel. Alternatively, it can be waved by hand, tied to a boat hook, paddle, or fishing rod, or laid flat on the deck to attract the attention of aircraft. To display the flag correctly, show with the black square over the black circle.

*SOLAS stands for Safety Of Life At Sea international rules.

Excellent Quality Product

I absolutely love it. It's so small and easy to use. I got it for my wife's stand up paddleboard and my kayak. Terrific product, looks absolutely waterproof and impact resistant. No more flares that are unsafe and expire every couple of years. I love Tektite stuff, they always make quality stuff that lasts. Made in the US no less!! It's great to find a brand that consistently delivers quality and durability, especially for something as crucial as safety gear.
FABULOUS FLARE!

I bought this at a boat show, I absolutely love it. It's small and easy to use.
Never buy Flares again!
- 06/13/2024
Bought this at the Miami boat show on the recommendation of a coast guard buddy. Passed my inspection, and inspector loved it. I told him it was half an size and price of similar items, and usa made, he said he's getting one too!
USCG Approved

Really got tired of my Flares going out dated every few years. I have a pile of out dated flares in my bag now as I don't know what to do as well as a out dated flare gun. I'll use the out dated flares in any emergency and keep this electronic flare for the Coast Guard requirement.
