A VSC or PWSC is a free check of your boat's equipment covering federal and state safety related requirements plus additional standards recommended by the Auxiliary. The check is conducted only with your consent. The examiners performing this service are all members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary who have been carefully trained to look for some of the more common problems which might occur in your boat or its associated safety related equipment.
When your boat meets the VSC or PWSC requirements, the award of the decal is your assurance that your boat is properly equipped for fun and safety on the water.
At the conclusion of the examination, a copy of the checklist is given to you. The VSC or PWSC is not a law enforcement activity. No report of you or your boat is ever made to any law enforcement agency. Only a statistical count of the number of examinations is made to the Coast Guard.
We usually host several "VSC Days" during the summer months. The first one will most-likely be during National Safe Boating week in May. Check back for new information on dates and times for the VSC Days.
