What We Do
The Coast Guard Auxiliary Serves You in Several Ways
We deliver Safe
Boating Classes to you at no charge (other than the cost of books and
materials) that may earn you discounts on your boat insurance. There are several
types of classes offered.
At your request, we can perform a FREE
Vessel Safety
Check. This is an audit of safety equipment on your boat. Only you are told
of any deficiencies. Our equipment requirement list is usually above and beyond
what is required by most state boating laws. If your boat passes the
examination, you get a decal (Safetee Seal) for your boat's windshield. Boat
with confidence, knowing your equipment is up to safety standards.
Our Operations Program provides
you with patrols for boat races and surface or air searches and rescues. In
addition, we help the Coast Guard protect the marine environment and report on
the condition of aids to navigation.
Availability permitting, we can provide you
with speakers, safety booths and participants for parades as part of our Public
Affairs mission.
