USCG Auxiliary 5th District Northern Region

VSC DecalIs your boat safe?
The Coast Guard Auxiliary offers free boat and personal watercraft (PWC) safety examinations to anyone who wants one.  The Auxiliary has no legal authority, and only checks to make sure your boat or PWC complies with federal, state and local laws and that it is properly equipped in the case of an emergency.  Upon passing the safety check, we award your boat with the decal shown at left.  For more information about the safety checks, see the US Coast Guard Auxiliary's National Home Page Visitors Section.  To find out where and when a vessel examiner will be in your area, email the DSO-VE 5NR.  Please include your zip code.
