Boating is fun..We'll show you how.

Experienced vessel examiners will provide free safety checks for all types of recreational boats and for personal watercraft. The inspection takes about 15 minutes and assures that your vessel has the required equipment on board foe a safe boating experience.
A VSC is a courtesy examination of your boat to verify the presence and condition of certain safety equipment required by State and Federal regulations. The vessel Examiner is a trained specialist and is a member of United States Power Squadron or the Coast Guard Auxiliary. They will also make certain recommendations and discuss safety issues that will make you a safer boater.
This is not a boarding or Law enforcement issue. No citations will be given as a result of this encounter. We will supply you with a copy of our evaluations that you may follow some of the suggestions given. Vessels that pass will be able to display a distinctive VSC decal. If you do not have the required safety equipment, you will be given a form that will let you know what is required. Once you obtain the necessary equipment a follow up inspection can be conducted.
This inspection does not exempt you from a boarding by Law enforcement, but the inspection will help you to be prepared which can make a Law enforcement boarding a positive encounter and not an end to your day of boating. If you are interested in this service please contact Clinton Power Squadron and we will be happy to provide you with a Vessel Safety Check
