Bright orange hard-shell floating case carries marine safety items for boaters
The boater’s Santa wish
December 4, 2025
Sirius Signal, a world leader in marine safety distress signal innovation and manufacturing, announced today the introduction of the MK-1001 marine safety kit for boaters. The kit provides easy access to a variety of items important to all boaters’ safety.
“We saw great interest in our choice to develop a kit with these marine safety items,” said Steven Caldero, Sirius Signal Vice President of Sales. “The robust sales of our three-liter dry bag kit launched in 2023 really parted the seas for our launch decision.”
The featured item in the 15”x11.5”x6”-inch case is the Sirius Signal model C-1003 SOS electronic visual distress signal device (eVDSD). Accompanying the nighttime safety device are an approved daytime signal, first aid kit, signal horn, whistle, stainless steel marine multitool and high-performance rechargeable LED utility light with white and red flashing functions.
The case, which floats, features custom foam with cutouts to hold every item, a watertight seal with pressure release valve and an annual maintenance decal affixed to the top. There are also a couple extra spots to place additional items unique to each boater.
