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 or the US 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 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. Some of the items that are checked
are registration, registration numbers, life jackets,
visual distress signals, fire extinguishers,
ventilation, sound devices (horn), and navigation
lights. If you are interested in this service,
