Our goal is to improve the demonstrated knowledge, skills, abilities and behaviors of boaters.

A Vessel Safety Check can reduce accidents and injuries by educating the boater as to the value and use of marine safety equipment, and other safe practices on the water.


A Vessel Safety Check can identify SAFETY and money saving opportunities:

  • By preventing citations by meeting federal and state and local safety equipment requirements.
  • By identifying educational and equipment-related possible boating insurance* discounts.
  • By increasing awareness of safety practices to avoid accidents and costly breakdowns.

Some of the things we look for:

  • Proper Display of Numbers
  • Registration/Documentation
  • Personal Flotation Devices
  • Visual Distress Signals
  • Fire Extinquishers
  • Ventilation
  • Back Flame Control (gas engines)
  • Sound Producing Devices
  • Navigation Lights
  • State and Local Requirements
  • Overall Vessel Condition
