A personal flotation vest device is provided that includes front flotation members that work in conjunction with a buoyant neck stabilizing member extending from the top of the back of the vest portion, and a buoyant buttocks support member extending from the bottom of the back of the vest portion, to provide a comfortable and stable platform for supporting the user in a substantially horizontal position. Adjustable fasteners allow a comfortable fit as the vest is donned. In addition, a whistle is attached to the vest by means of a lanyard for emergency use. A retraction device for retrieving and storing the extended lanyard is also provided. To avoid the onset of dehydration a pocket is provided for storing a fresh water container.
