Vessel
Safety Check
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 Squadron.
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 suggestions
given. 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.
