Onyx Throwable Boat Cushion Red

The Onyx Throwable Boat Cushion in red is a U.S. Coast Guard–approved Type IV Personal Flotation Device (PFD) built for water safety and rescue readiness. Whether you're running a fishing boat, cruising inland waterways, or meeting federal boating regulations, this throwable cushion gives you a reliable, compact flotation solution that doubles as emergency gear and everyday comfort aboard.

Built around a PE foam core, the cushion delivers buoyancy where it counts without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to your deck or cabin. The exterior is wrapped in tough nylon oxford fabric—the same material used in quality gear bags and outerwear—so it resists tears, scuffs, and the salt-spray and sun exposure that break down lesser marine equipment. The webbing grab straps sewn into both sides serve dual duty: they make the cushion easy to throw to someone in the water, and they function as carry handles when you're moving it around the boat or storing it below deck.

Coast Guard approval means it meets or exceeds the flotation and construction standards required by federal boating law in most states. If your boat requires throwable flotation—and many do, depending on length and use—this cushion satisfies that requirement while offering a practical product you'll actually keep on board and use. The red color also makes it visible in an emergency, which matters when seconds count.
