Vessel Inspections:

The U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary offers free vessel safety checks (VSC) to boaters who wish to promote their own boating safety. If you are interested in a Vessel Safety Check you can e-mail us for an inspection or just come to one of the scheduled locations.

Boating Safety Classes:

Boating safety classes will be taught by the Coast Guard Auxiliary. The course we teach is the "America's Boating Course" and is recognized in all 50 states as an authorized boating course.
Contact: David Maul 423-877-5455 or (e-mail) for registration information.

The next class, on July 12, will be held at the Chattanooga Coast Guard SSD
located at 3551 Harrison Pike. Click Here for a Map
This class will be held only if there are enough students.

America's Waterway Watch

If you are a tow boat operator, a recreational boater, a fisherman, a marina operator, or otherwise live, work or engage in recreational activities around America's waterways, the United States Coast Guard wants your help in keeping these areas safe and secure. You can do this by participating in its America's waterway watch program, a nationwide initiative similar to the well known and successful Neighborhood Watch program that asks community members to report suspicious activities to local law enforcement agencies.

"You’re in Command" is the U.S. Coast Guard’s public boating safety outreach initiative, which encourages all recreational boaters to take responsibility for their actions on the water. As a boat owner or operator, you are responsible for your safety and the safety of your passengers. That’s why we say: "You’re in Command. Boat Responsibly!"
