Vessel Safety Check Request / Inquiry

Minimize the loss of life, personal injury, property damage and environmental impact
while maximizing the safe use and enjoyment of U.S. waterways by recreational boaters.
The Vessel Safety Check Program is one of “prevention through education, outreach and volunteer compliance”
helping recreational boaters gain a respect for the boating environment.

The VSC Program also helps to achieve voluntary compliance with federal and state recreational boating safety laws,
particularly with regard to the availability of safety equipment on your boat,
while raising boater awareness about safety and environmental issues through your discussions with a Vessel Examiner (VE).
VE discussions with recreational boaters are designed to motivate maintaining and operating their boats in a safe manner,
taking boating safety courses to increase their knowledge and skills in boating, and promoting safe boating.
