Vessel SAFETY Examinations
The Vessel Safety Check is neither a boarding nor a law enforcement activity. No citations will be given as a result of this visit. We will supply you with a copy of our evaluation so that you may follow the suggestions given. Vessels that pass will be able to display a distinctive VSC decal. This does not exempt you from law enforcement boarding, but lessens the likelihood that you will be stopped for a check on the water.
Vessel Safety Checks will be provided at Easton Point each Saturday and Sunday from May 17 through Saturday, July 5, 2008. Additional Safety Checks will be scheduled at Tred Avon Yacht Club, Miles River Yacht Club, and Tilghman Island; check back here for the schedule for those sessions.
To schedule a no-fault exam at other times, call one of these numbers: Tilghman area — 410-745-3950 Bozman/Broad Creek — 410-745-3113 Royal Oak area — 410-745-5291 Easton area — 410-822-0834 St. Michaels — 410-745-6394 Oxford — 410-226-5239 For other Areas or Questions, please call our Staff Officer in charge of vessel examinations at 410-745-3113.

A Vessel Safety Check is a
courtesy examination of your boat (Vessel) to verify the presence and condition
of the Safety Equipment required by State and Federal regulations. The
Vessel Examiner is a trained specialist and is a member of the US Coast Guard
Auxiliary. The Examiner may also make recommendations
and discuss safety issues that will help to make you a safer boater.
