USCG INSPECTIONS
The Cruising Fleet Committee offers free courtesy safety inspections each summer. The 2025 inspection date will be posted soon!
On June 1, 2024 the inspections were carried out by MBYC Member Tom Derden, who has been certified by the US Power Squadron to do the inspections in accordance with US Coast Guard regulations. There is no penalty for those failing to pass, and those who do pass the inspection receive a sticker to place on their boat. This sticker might prevent your boat from being randomly stopped for another inspection while you're enjoying time on the water.
