Vessel Safety Checks

Vessel Examiner qualified members of Division 9 are pleased to inspect your boat at no charge. If your boat meets the requirements you will receive a sticker that indicates your boat has passed the US Coast Guard Auxiliary inspection. If for some reason your boat does not pass the inspection, we will simply let you know what needs to be done. Their are no charges, no fines, and we do not report to local authorities. Our goal is keeping you safe.

All scheduled VE dates have been completed. To request your free inspection email the Vessel Inspection Officer or call 414.725.4127 to arrange a time and location. You can also use the "Virtual VSC" link below.

There is even a form you can print to do your own self-check before having a
United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Vessel Examiner visits your boat.
