How To Know That You’re Equipped For Boating Safety
LHS&PS inspectors offer free Vessel Safety Checks.
Our certified Vessel Safety Examiners offer free vessel safety checks using the latest USCG checklist. They meet you on your boat, helping you refresh your boating safety knowledge and obtain peace of mind that the boat meets all federal and state safety requirements. Vessel Examiners are trained specialists and are members of the United States Power Squadrons or the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. They also make certain recommendations and discuss certain safety issues that will make you a safer boater.
This is not boarding or a law enforcement issue. No citations will be given as a result of this encounter. This does not exempt you from law enforcement boarding, but you can be prepared to make this a positive encounter. You will receive a copy of our evaluation so that you may follow some of the suggestions given. Vessels that pass will be able to display our distinctive VSC decal. To schedule an inspection of your boat contact vsc@lake-hartwell.org.
