 		 GET A VESSEL SAFETY INSPECTION--FREE!

     As part of our Recreational Boating Safety program, the Auxiliary trains and certifies Auxiliary members as Vessel Examiners or VE's.  VE's are authorized to inspect, at no cost, all recreational boats, including Personal Water Craft (PWC's) in accordance with a standardized checklist.  If a boat complies with all the applicable rules and regulations governing the checklist items, such as registration, sufficient life jackets and required fire extinguishers, the VE will issue a decal good for the calendar year (see the inspection checklist).

      In addition to providing you with the assurance that your boat provides a safe boating platform for you and your family, the decal will alert the Coast Guard that your boat passed inspection and may preclude the need for boarding if you are the subject of a routine underway stop by a patrol boat.
To schedule an inspection by a VE in your area, please go to the I Want a VSC On-Line Database and enter your zip code for a list of examiners, either Auxiliary or US Power Squadron, within a set distance from your location.
