The United States Power Squadrons work with the USCG and  USCG Auxiliary to perform Vessel Safety Checks. You can contact either them or us to perform the Vessel Safety Check examination. However, the USCG has been tasked with additional duties in light of recent events. By contacting a USPS Certified Examiner to perform your VSC, this will free up the USCG and USCG Auxiliary to concentrate on their primary  duties.

Just like your boat registration  must be renewed every year, Vessel Safety Checks should to be performed every year.

Some reasons that your boat needs to have have a VSC Check every year are:

  •  Federal, State, and local regulations can change
  •  boat registration numbers improperly displayed or missing
  •  life jackets become defective
  •  horn not functioning
  •  navigation light/s not functioning
  •  fire extinguisher/s need to be serviced
  •  flares are out of date
  •  and much more

Your boat is your pride and joy, no matter what size it is.
Let us help you to keep it safe.

When you click on the Pre Check link below, make sure you download a copy of the actual Safety Check Form our Examiners use. You can use this form to make sure your boat meets the requirements. This will help you to get ready for your VSC. You still need to have an Examiner check your boat, as that is the only way to get the VSC Decal. You will also receive a copy of the completed VSC Form with the Examiners name and number for your onboard records.

What are you waiting for? It's FREE!
Our Examiners need something to do.

It's better to get your boat inspected by these guys,
 instead of you know who.
Our guy's don't give tickets!
