The Coast Guard Auxiliary will be on scene inspecting recreational vessels as part of the Coast
Guard’s commitment to recreational boating safety. They will be checking to ensure vessels are
in compliance with recreational boating safety requirements. The Auxiliary will also be available
to answer any questions and provide guidance on how to correct any identified deficiencies. This
free, non-attributional inspection will help ensure mariners are prepared before the summer
boating season.
The Coast Guard Auxiliary is a uniformed, volunteer organization consisting of 21,000 civilian
members across the nation. These volunteers are instrumental in completing the U.S. Coast
Guard’s mission of ensuring safety of those on the water.
