A Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is a no cost, no risk check of your boat’s equipment and personal protection gear, conducted by members of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or U.S. Power Squadrons knowledgeable about federal, state, and local requirements. VSC are offered for any vessel — power or sailboat, paddleboard, canoe, kayak, or jet ski.
Before setting up an in-person inspection, use the online VSC tools offered by the Auxiliary to access the actual safety checklist used by vessel examiners and a guide that leads you through what you need to pass the inspection.
Once you’ve fulfilled all the requirements on the checklist, schedule an in-person inspection, where decals are available to those who pass.
