My short list is duct tape, spare pieces of rope and light line, WD-40® or similar, a sharp knife, drinking water, a basic first aid kit, a survival blanket, a simple tool kit or a multi-tool, and lifejackets for everyone aboard. I’d take these things even in a canoe or kayak. If there’s cell phone coverage, add a mobile phone, and if there’s VHF coverage I’d add a small waterproof VHF/DSC radio. Of course, also check the Coast Guard’s list of required equipment for the type and size of the boat. Please share your basic list.
