Personal Craft Courtesy Check
A trained member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary will board your vessel, at your invitation, and conduct a thorough check of all the safety equipment that is required to be carried on board according to the Canada Shipping Act, Small Vessel Regulations and Collision Regulations.
The Check includes making sure the equipment is present and in good working
condition.
As well a check of optional safety and navigational equipment, will be carried out. The member will also discuss general safety awareness and safe boating practices.
A Pleasure Craft Courtesy Check can take from 15 to 30 minutes for a small vessel and from 30 minutes to one hour for a larger vessel, depending on the amount and condition of equipment on board, and your interest in safety.
Additionallly, as of September 15, 2002, Canadian Coast Guard rules stipulate that all operators of motorized craft under 4m in length, including personal watercraft & yacht tenders, must have proof of competency onboard their vessel at all times.
