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.
