Vessel Safety Checks

We offer free vessel safety checks to ensure that you have all the required and recommended equipment and understand how to use it properly. THE REPORT IS GIVEN ONLY TO YOU, and if needed, we can conduct a follow-up with you. Then you can be assured that your boat is adequately equipped, and you can proudly display the VSC sticker, which indicates to everyone, including TWRA, that your boat is safe and good to go.

We have very knowledgeable Port Captains on all local waters who can help you find fun places to visit and marinas for your use. They can offer suggestions to help you get started having more fun on the water.

 If you have children who need a TWRA boater card, we offer free boating instruction and are authorized to give the TWRA boating exam. We want to help you ensure they know how to operate a boat safely. We believe educated boating is more enjoyable boating. Insurance companies typically offer a discount for completing a boating course.

 If you want to enhance your boating knowledge, we offer in-person and online classes to assist you. We recommend our Boat Handling course, which will help with docking, which is often considered the most intimidating aspect of boating. We also offer Inland Boating and Trailering courses, among others. See https://www.americasboatingclub-knoxville.org/. We will be happy to assist you in any way possible.            For online education see https://americasboatingclub.org/index.php/learn/
