Fishing for Red Snapper

or Just Want To Be Safe?

Obtain a free and confidential vessel examination before you head out to your favorite red snapper fishing grounds.  The Coast Guard Auxiliary will provide a safety check to verify that your vessel is in compliance with state and federal requirements.  

There is no penalty to failing - just an awareness of a vessel deficiency that you should correct.  Vessels that pass this examination are given a decal indicating a successful safety check.

There’s no need to worry if you’re unsure whether your vessel is fully compliant before you schedule a visit.  This is a proactive safety and educational event designed to help boaters identify potential safety concerns and learn how to be better prepared on the water—not to penalize anyone.  The vessel examiners will return and work with you as needed until your vessel is compliant with Federal and state requirements.

Vessel exams require 20-30 minutes and are scheduled by you at a time and location of your convenience.
