Flotilla members regularly conduct free Vessel Safety Checks at area marinas, and we are also available by appointment.  These Checks were most recently done on Saturday, May 24, at the North Shore Marina at Indian River Inlet.  To request a VSC please contact the Webmaster or go to the I Want A VSC web site and enter your zip code for the closest examiners.  For more details about the VSC please go to the national web site of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.

  This safety check is voluntary and no record of whether the vessel passes goes to any law enforcement agency.  The goal of each check is to review with the owner what he or she should do and have on board to make sure that every trip on the water is safe and enjoyable.  Following successful completion of the check, a decal is awarded.  Some insurance companies will discount policies 10 percent for owners who have these decals.
