What is a Vessel Safety Check?

The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary will perform a complimentary examination of your boat, confirming that you meet both Federal and state requirements for safety. Purely advisory, the Auxiliary issues no citations, but will award a decal to display that your vessel has passed the examination. This was formerly referred to as a Courtesy Marine Examination.

We will come to in the areas of Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, and Cape Coral.

The Vessel Safety Check gives you a quick and easy way to check that you are ready for the coming season. The items that are checked include:

Note that these same items are required by state and federal laws and, if missing or non-operating, can result in a citation if your vessel is inspected by the Coast Guard.
