2010 Vessel Safety Check Locations

to be announced

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 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.
