| Vessel Safety Checks |
| A Vessel Safety Check is a no-cost courtesy examination of your boat
(Vessel) to verify the presence and condition of certain Safety
Equipment required by State and 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 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. |
| We occasionally perform vessel exams at local marinas, but you may also contact us directly if you would like to get one. The link to the site below will help you find an examiner nearby and get more information about the program, or you can contact the squadron. |
