An Overview of Boating Safety
Whether your boat for business or pleasure, the US Coast Guard recommends a yearly free Vessel Safety Check. The check takes the Vessel Examiner 30-45 minutes and covers all necessary bases to ensure your boat meets all federal and state regulations. By undergoing the free procedure, boat owners avoid fines and unforeseen mishaps on the water.
Boats that have completed an inspection are fixed with a VSC Decal so that the Coast Guard, Harbor Patrol, and other boaters know it is up to code. Boat freely knowing that law enforcement won’t take any issue with your vehicle and that your friends and family will be safe when they come along for the ride.
The Coast Guard recommends annual inspections for all watercraft including jet skis, yachts, and paddle sport boats. No matter your level skill and experience, all boaters are safer after undergoing Vessel Safety Checks.
A written report issued after the inspection will inform you of any problems found in your boat with recommendations for repairs. Having boating safety specialists examine your vehicle is a great way to catch issues you may have missed. The Coast Guard isn’t determined to fail people on this inspection; boats that don’t meet regulations are given clear instructions on how to do so, and almost always pass a quick and easy re-inspection.
