FREE VESSEL SAFETY CHECK
KEEP YOUR BOATING ADVENTURES SAFE!
America’s Boating Club of Great South Bay, in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, offers you a FREE Vessel Safety Check (VSC) at your convenience—at your boat, on your schedule.
Why Schedule a Vessel Safety Check?
✅ Peace of Mind
Certified vessel examiners will confirm your boat meets all federal and state safety standards, so you can enjoy the water knowing you’re prepared.
✅ Official Recognition
Passing vessels receive a Vessel Safety Check Decal, showing law enforcement agencies (Coast Guard, Harbor Patrol, Sheriff, Police) that your boat complies with all safety regulations.
✅ No Cost, No Penalties
It’s 100% free—no charge, no tickets, and no negative consequences if your boat doesn’t pass. The exam is simply a way to identify issues before they become problems.
✅ Insurance Discounts
Many insurers offer policy discounts for boats that complete an annual Vessel Safety Check. Safety pays off on the water and in your wallet.
What If My Boat Doesn’t Pass?
You won’t receive a citation. Instead, you’ll get a written report outlining what needs to be corrected so your vessel can meet all requirements.
Ready to Schedule?
Don’t miss this chance to make sure your boat is shipshape and ready for the season. Submit your request today and one of our examiners will contact you to confirm your appointment.
