No EPIRB in a float free location?
No PLB on anyone?
Nobody wore PFDs?
Typically people don't wear PFD's on fishing charters, they are on the boat but not required to be worn. That said, the water in AK is typically so cold unless you have a survival suit on, you have maybe 30 minutes.
I don't believe EPIRBs are required for 6 pack boats.
