Tasik Kenyir is a popular tourist destination in the State of Terengganu, Malaysia. By<br />

houseboat, many interesting locations and a variety of activities can be done there.<br />

However, many drowning events have been reported in Tasik Kenyir that are closely<br />

related to the current security aspect of the houseboat. This study attempts to focus<br />

on types of safety equipment system that provide by houseboat service at Tasik<br />

Kenyir, Hulu Terengganu. The second objective is to evaluate effectiveness of the<br />

safety equipment. In addition, it is to analyse the effectiveness of safety equipment<br />

and safety system. The methodology used for this research is quantitative using<br />

survey questionnaires distributed to 80 passengers of houseboat as respondents.<br />

Descriptive analysis on the data obtained indicates that there is low level of safety<br />

systems applied by the houseboat at Tasik Kenyir. On the other hand, the result from<br />

correlation coefficient analysis shows that relationship between type of safety<br />

equipments and effectiveness of safety system is strongly correlated with each other.<br />
