What is a Vessel Safety Check?

Vessel Safety Check DecalVessel Safety Check Station

Have you ever wondered what safety equipment is required by law on your boat?  Trying to read a pamphlet and it's confusing to you?  Are you concerned about the safety of your boat and passengers?

Well, we are!

The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is tasked to promote safe boating, and this includes the safety of your boat!

Contact us and get a free vessel safety check done on your boat!  Our inspection looks for federal and state legally required equipment and documentation, as well as makes recommendations to you for additional equipment that may just save your life one day!  Our inspections are easy to have done, and are not reported to any law enforcement agencies.  After all, the single most important thing to remember when boating is to BE SAFE!
