In order to help provide a safer experience for those boating on Tellico Lake, the TCC has established a program for loaning PFDs for use by visitors or guests on a short term basis.
While the owners of these PFDs believe they are in working order and meet Coast Guard approval, the borrower and ultimately the captain of the vessel on which they will be used is responsible for insuring the PFDs meet all state and local laws.
To acquire one of the PFDs, simply reference to the following list to find a compatible PFD then call the owner to arrange pick-up.
Please be courteous of the owners and return the PFDs promptly and in good condition, so they can be made available to others.
