Vessel Safety Checks

The U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary offers free boat 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.
