A Vessel Safety Check is a courtesy examination of your boat
(Vessel) to verify the presence and condition of certain Safety
Equipment required by State and the Federal regulations.
The Vessel Examiner is a trained specialist and is a member
of the United States Power Squadrons or the US Coast Guard
Auxiliary. They will also make certain recommendations
and discuss certain safety issues that will make you a safer boater.
This is not boarding or a law enforcement issue. No citations
will be given as a result of this encounter. We will supply you
with a copy of our evaluation so that you may follow some of
the safety related suggestions. Vessels that pass will be able to display
our distinctive VSC decal. This does not exempt you from law
enforcement boarding, but you can be prepared to make this
a positive encounter.
