The present invention is directed to a visual distress signal device that includes a housing having an internal cavity with a first electrical contact and a power source positioned therein in an electrically coupled manner. An electronic assembly is at least partially positioned within the internal cavity of the housing. Such an electronic assembly may include a second electrical contact that is electrically coupled to the power source, a third electrical contact, and a light source. The device may also include a lens member detachably coupled to the housing to close an open top end of the housing in a watertight manner. A float member may be detachably coupled to the housing to provide buoyancy to the device. The electronic assembly may be movable within the internal cavity to electronically couple and decouple the third electrical contact and the first electrical contact to selectively power the light source.
