Vessel Safety Check (VSC)
Even if you pay careful attention to safety, dangerous mechanical problems can crop up on the best-maintained
boat. That's why the U.S. Coast Guard recommends that all recreational boaters (including personal watercraft
users) take advantage of the free Vessel Safety Check (VSC) program every year.
VSCs are offered by experienced members of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary one of the nation’s premier volunteer
boating safety organizations. A VSC is your best way of learning about problems that might put you in violation of
state or federal laws or, worse, create danger for you or your passengers on the water.
If you would like to have your boat inspected, call Jim Plunket at 630-306-9176 to make an appointment. Vessel
Safety Checks will be done on Saturdays and Sundays. If you need a copy of the Vessel Safety Check requirement
you can go to US Coast Guard Auxiliary web site and check Vessel Safety Checks
