What's In it For Me?
Vessels passing safety checks are awarded a U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Decal that informs:
- Coast Guard & Auxiliary
- Harbor Patrol
- Sheriff's, Police &
- other boating law-enforcement & safety agency's
that your boat was in full compliance with all Federal and State boating laws during a safety check for that year. Best of all every Vessel Safety Check is 100% Free of charge!
What Type of Items Are Checked?
- Registration and numbering
- Life Jackets
- Navigation lights
- Ventilation
- Fire extinguishers
- Distress signals (flares, horn, etc.)
- Battery cover and connections
All of these items are currently required by state and federal laws and, if missing or non-operating, can result in a citation if your vessel is inspected by a law enforcement agency.
