20 minutes could save your life!
The United States Power Squadrons participate in the Vessel Safety Check (VSC) program through the United States Coast Guard Office of Boating Safety in conjunction with the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. A typical VSC takes between
20 to 30 minutes. The VSCs are offered for FREE by certified Power Squadron members.
If your vessel passes, you will be given a decal indicating that your boat has passed a safety inspection. However, if your vessel does not pass there is no obligation to comply with any resulting recommendations. Also, no report will be made to the USCG if the boat fails the inspection.
