Get a FREE Vessel Safety Check

Compliments of Flotilla 87

Boat with confidence knowing that your boat and its equipment meet state and federal safety requirements.

A Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is a free check of your boat, PWC, sport or utility boat (kayaks, canoes, rowboats) by qualified Coast Guard Auxiliarists to make sure that  state required safety equipment is on board and in good working condition. A Coast Guard Auxiliary decal is awarded if you comply with all safety requirements.

The VSC is not a law enforcement inspection.

It is an excellent way to prepare your boat for the season. Interested? Call Bill Shutt, FSO-VE, at 540-894-0181 or email Bill at fsove@a0540807.uscgaux.info

If you would like to make Vessel Safety Checks part of your Homeowners' Association annual meeting, we can accommodate that. Safe boating should be the priority for all homeowners on Lake Anna. Contact Bill (info above).

If you prefer a house call Vessel Safety Check on either the public or private side of Lake Anna, we can accommodate that, too. Contact Bill (info above).

Flotilla 87 regularly schedules Vessel Safety Checks at Lake Anna Marinas during the boating season on certain Saturdays 10:00-2:00, weather and resources permitting. Check the VSC calendar to find a convenient time and place for you.
