A
Vessel Safety Check is a courtesy examination of your
boat (Vessel) to verify the presence and condition of
certain Safety Equipment required by State and
Federal regulations. The Vessel Examiner is a trained
specialist and is a member of the US Coast Guard
Auxiliary. The
examiner will
also make certain recommendations and discuss certain
safety issues that will make you a safer boater. This is
not boarding nor is it a law enforcement issue. No
citations will be given as a result of this encounter.
We will supply you with a copy of our evaluation so that
you may follow the suggestions given.
Vessels that do not pass
will not be reported and may be re-inspected without
penalty at the owner's convenience when the owner feels
that the vessel is ready.
Vessels
that pass will be able to display our distinctive VSC
decal. This does not exempt you from law enforcement
boarding, but you can be prepared to make this a
positive encounter.
