Safety FAQ

Our Safety Features are Designed Into Our Boat
And They Exceed
Coast Guard Regulations for Inspected Vessels


Q: What's an Inspected Vessel?
A: Inspected Vessels are boats and ships that take more than six passengers at one time for hire
United States Coast Guard Marine Safety Office Providence
Inspected vessels have to undergo an extensive inspection process by the Coast Guard to receive a Certificate of Inspection
 
We pass the same inspection and meet the same high standards that Cruise Ships and Ferries do

We have passed this inspection, and we pass it every year



Not all charter boats meet these standards.

When your well being is on the line, insist on the safest vessel for your family
Ask to see the Certificate of Inspection (COI) before you set to sea on any Charter Boat
 We will proudly show you ours
