You must have a life jacket aboard and a light if you plan to tube at night.
Some harbors don't allow float tubes.

They're not laws but a whistle, a compass, and atleast a pound of lead and 100' of 50+# line for emergency anchoring, are all good ideas. Like the life preserver, you hope you never have to have it, but it's good to have it, just in case.
Tight lines,
Wade

A cell phone in a zip bag is good or better yet a handheld VHF radio if going any distance offshore. You can hail a boat or the CG if needed with it.
