Did you know the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary has certified vessel examiners who will perform a free Vessel Safety Check (“VSC”) at your boat, at a time of mutual convenience? There is no charge, and no consequences if you don’t pass. Their  goal is simply to help make boating as safe as possible for you, your family and your friends, through education. 

To request this helpful service, simply click on the link for “I Want a Vessel Safety Check” and provide information on your boat.

There is also guidance for you to conduct an “Virtual Vessel Safety Check“.  This page will walk you through the steps by answering a series of questions related to key safety issues.

Please note there is now a link in the footer of the Club’s webpage, making this important resource easy for you to find in the future.
