I Want a Vessel Safety Check!

Have a Courtesy Vessel Safety Check at Your Boat!

Photo of vessel safety check signBoth the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the United States Power Squadrons have 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. Our goal is simply to help make boating as safe as possible for you, your family and your friends, through education. Personal pleasure craft, only(*).

Please fill out the form below, completing every field. Note that we typically can perform the VSC wherever your boat is located, or by mutual arrangement you may bring your boat to our examiner. Note: Correct mailing address of the boat or marina’s location is required to find the nearest examiner(s).

You will be contacted by one of up to five volunteer examiners, whose names will be provided in a confirmation email.  Hit SUBMIT when all required fields are complete. The city and Zip Code must match, in each case.

(*) Please note that a Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is for personal pleasure craft only. We do not perform inspections on commercial boats such as the Six-Pack or Commercial Fishing Vessel inspections. If this is what you are looking for, contact the closest US Coast Guard unit for assistance in getting an inspection. This link will help you find the closest unit: www.uscg.mil/top/units/.
