The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary and Vessel Safety Checks

United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Hampstead


Your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is vital in providing 
boating safety and skills training to recreational boaters. 
With auxiliary flotillas located locally in Hampstead, 
Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, Southport, Shallotte-
Calabash, Grand Strand, and Georgetown you can take any
available boating safety and skills training courses, request 
vessel safety checks, request boating safety information or 
have boating safety lectures provided to your local or civic 
group. On weekends and many week days during the boating 
season your local flotilla members can be seen on local 
waters assisting boaters in need of help. Also, membership 
in an auxiliary flotilla is open to U.S. citizens 17 years 
or older who wish to provide a valuable service to the 
boating public.

You can have your vessel checked by an officer from your 
local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. This check is provided free 
of charge and is intended to insure that your vessel has the 
necessary equipment required by law and for your personal 
safety. There is no penalty associated with having this check 
and any deficiencies will not be reported to enforcement 
authorities.

Boat Smart...Boat Safe...Wear It!
