What is a Vessel Safety Check?

It is a free check of a vessel’s equipment for compliance with federal and state safety requirements. The vessel examiners performing this service have been trained to look for some of the more common problems, which might occur in your boat or its associated safety equipment. Some of the items we check are;

bullet Proper display of numbers
bullet Registration/Documentation
bullet Personal Flotation Devices; Life Jackets
bullet Visual Distress Signals
bullet Fire extinguishers
bullet Ventilation
bullet Backfire flame control
bullet Sound producing devices
bullet Navigation lights
bullet State requirements
bullet Overall vessel condition

If a vessel meets all of the Vessel Safety Check (VSC) requirements it is awarded a VSC decal.
