Benefits of a Vessel Safety Check -
Safety! The peace of mind that your boat meets federal safety standards and that in an emergency you will have the necessary equipment to save lives and summon help. Additionally, you will avoid substantial fines should you ever be boarded by law enforcement and found to be in violation.In many cases boating insurance agencies offer discounts for vessels which undergo a Vessel Safety Check every year.
