Coast Guard Safety Check: Georgia Lake Attorney Discusses the Benefits of a Free Safety Check

View More Boating Articles

A boat owner should have their vessel checked by the Coast Guard. At a free Coast Guard Safety Check, the Coast Guard will review your boat to make sure it is in compliance and will advise you if it is not. It is very important to know that the Coast Guard does not cite or ticket vessels in non-compliance at these free Safety Checks, so there is no risk in getting one. By not getting one, there can be serious boating risks in Safety and equipment due to not having your vessel checked by the Coast Guard. Therefore, it is important to get a Safety Check performed as part of your regular maintenance on your boat.
