Vessel Safety Checks

Vessel Safety Check Decal 2010Does your vessel meet the requirements of safe boating law? Do you have the necessary safety equipment on board to ensure that you and your family will be safe at sea? Is your safety equipment operational and up to date? Contact our Vessel Examination Program staff for a free Vessel Safety Check. A Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is a free examination of your boat. VSCs are usually conducted at Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor or other sites in the Santa Cruz area. Your boat will be well examined by one of our specially trained Coast Guard Auxiliarists, and you will be provided with a report of your vessel's compliance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations regarding boating safety features and equipment. There is no penalty if your boat fails to meet full compliance. You will simply be given a report listing the deficiencies found, along with encouragement to make corrections on your own. Your boat may at your request be rechecked at some convenient time in the future. For further information on how you can get your boat examined by one of the Safety Examiners here in Santa Cruz, California, please send e-mail to: s_wolfberg@yahoo.com or m.entwistle@sbcglobal.net

What We Do

SURFACE OPERATIONS - Flotilla Members perform safety and aids-to-navigation patrols in the Monterey Bay area. Auxiliary vessels and their crews work under the control of the Coast Guard, and aid in search and rescue (SAR), marine safety, and other missions. Auxiliary crew members and Coxswains qualify using the same boat crew training manual as used by Coast Guard Regulars and Reservists, and must satisfy annual currency maintenance. Auxiliarists are volunteers.
BOATING SAFETY - Auxiliarists from 06-10 teach classes to members of the general public and to members of the Auxiliary in Santa Cruz. Public classes include boating skills and seamanship (basic power), sailing fundamentals (basic sail), and basic and advanced coastal navigation. Auxiliarists also provide voluntary vessel safety checks and conduct other programs to enhance boating safety.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - Auxiliarists from 06-10 and other flotillas join Coast Guard active duty and reservists to aid NOAA and NMFS in managing the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Auxiliarists are deployed on Coast Guard Auxiliary surface and air missions.
COAST GUARD MISSION SUPPORT - Auxiliarists also volunteer to serve alongside regular and reserve members of the Coast Guard in operational and administrative programs. Flotilla members serve as radio watchstanders, and have served onboard Monterey and Santa Cruz based US Coast Guard vessels.
