Vessel Safety Checks 

  The vessel safety check is a complimentary check of your vessel to ensure that it complies with federal and state regulations.  Many items are required by either the US Coast Guard or by state law.  If all requirements are met, a decal is issued indicating that the vessel has passed the exam.

   Items that are checked include both required and recommended items.

 Partial list of required items:  

       Registration documentation (required to be carried on board); proper display of numbers; life jackets and throwable device; fire extinguisher; distress signals; navigation lights; battery terminal covers.

Partial list of recommended items:

     Marine radio; anchor and line; first aid kit; inland visual distress signals; charts; dewatering device (bilge pump or bucket)

To request a courtesy vessel safety check, call 707-427-8521, or e-mail  flotilla5-3@att.net.
