A Vessel  Examiner is an extremely prestigious and important position within the Coast Guard world. It is a service that offers the boating world a chance to enjoy their boat and boating pleasures in a safe manner and the peace of mind knowing their boat has all the safety equipment that is required by Coast Guard standards.
Charlie Reiner, FSO-VE, will instruct a formal classroom training program that will be offered to anyone interested in becoming a vessel examiner.

The first class will begin Wednesday evening, March 3rd at 6:30 P.M. We will meet in the training room or the mess deck at Coast Guard Station Lake Worth Inlet, whichever area will be available. The class will be approximately 1&1/2 to 2 hours long and may run for possibly 3 consecutive Wednesday evenings.
