Free Vessel  Safety Checks

We can check your boat at your slip or at your home anytime....give us a call !

  The U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary offers free vessel safety checks to boaters who wish to be sure that their boats meet all federal and state safety requirements. The Vessel Examiners who perform these checks are specially trained Auxiliarists who are kept informed on the latest legal
requirements for boaters. Vessel Examiners have no legal authority - their goal is to prevent boaters from getting equipment-related citations and to prevent safety-related accidents. These safety checks are meant to be an educational experience. The Vessel Examiners will check for all required safety items on board your boat and if everything is present and in good working order, they will award a decal to affix to your boat. If you wish, they will also gladly explain the reason for the various safety equipment requirements and explain how safety equipment works. Generally, these inspections can be made at your home with the boat on the trailer.

• Examinations are performed on standard power and sail boats
• Examinations may be performed on Personal Watercraft (PWC)
