Vessel Examiner
VESSEL EXAMINER (VE) classroom training and supervised Vessel Safety Checks
fulfill the requirements for certification. By providing free VSCs, Vessel Examiners
identify and discuss required safety equipment and safe practices on the water
with boat operators that can reduce accidents and injuries.
The VSC program represents a unique alliance between the U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary and the United States Power Squadrons®. Less than 1% of the 13 million
registered recreational boats receives a VSC each year. More VEs are needed to
meet the demand. If you would like to share your boating safety knowledge for a
great cause, then this is the program for you!
