Vessel Safety Check Schedule

A Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is a free lookover of your boat, PWC, or paddlecraft and its equipment for compliance with federal and state safety requirements. If your vessel meets all the VSC requirements, it is awarded a VSC decal.

Our vessel safety check schedule coincides with boating season, which usually runs from April to September. However, a Vessel Safety Check may be scheduled at any time of the year.

Please feel free to contact us to make arrangements.  Vessel Safety Checks are free to the boating public and are a public service provided by the US Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 12-8 in Charleston SC. 

To schedule a complimentary vessel safety check by Flotilla 070-12-08 at your boat, contact:
