Vessel Safety Check

The U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary offers FREE Vessel Safety Checks to boaters wishing to be sure that their boats or personal watercraft meet all safety requirements.

The Vessel Examiners who perform the VSC's are specially-trained Auxiliarists who are kept informed on the latest legal requirements for boaters. Vessel Examiners have no legal authority -- in fact, they are here to help prevent boaters from getting equipment-related citations.

Vessel Safety Checks are an educational experience. The Vessel Examiners will gladly explain why the safety equipment requirements are there, and how the equipments works.

Boats which pass the examination are awarded the Seal of Safety that is placed on their boats.
