What Is a Vessel Safety Check?
A Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is a free, no-penalty courtesy examination conducted by certified members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. During the inspection, examiners review important safety items and equipment to help ensure your boat meets both federal and state recreational boating requirements.
The inspection may include checks for:
Life jackets and wearable flotation devices
Fire extinguishers
Navigation lights
Sound-producing devices
Registration and documentation
Ventilation and fuel systems
Visual distress signals
Overall vessel condition and safety preparedness
Boaters whose vessels meet the current safety requirements will receive a 2026 Vessel Safety Check decal to display proudly on their boat.
Why Schedule a Safety Check?
A Vessel Safety Check is one of the easiest ways to prepare for a safe and enjoyable boating season. Even experienced captains can benefit from having a second set of trained eyes review equipment and safety readiness before heading offshore or into the bay.
The event is also a great opportunity for:
New boat owners
Families preparing for summer boating
Anglers getting ready for fishing season
Seasonal boaters launching for the first time this year
Best of all, there are no citations or penalties associated with the inspection. The goal is education, awareness, and safer waterways for everyone.
Appointments Encouraged
Appointments are strongly encouraged to help reduce wait times and ensure each vessel receives a thorough inspection. Call 302-422-2040 to schedule.

Whether you’re preparing for fishing trips, cruising Delaware Bay, or simply enjoying time on the water with family and friends, taking a few minutes for a Vessel Safety Check is a smart step toward a safer boating season.

Seasonal Reminder: Forklift Service Ended Until Spring
Important Notice: Spoofed Emails Pretending to Be from Cedar Creek Marina / Cedar Creek Marine Center
We want to address a recent issue that may have affected some of our customers and community members. Over the past few days, several people have reported receiving fraudulent emails that appear to come from Cedar Creek Marina or Cedar Creek Marine Center. These messages falsely claim that we are hosting a holiday party, that you have items to pick up, or that you need to click a link for more details.
We want to offer a sincere apology for any confusion or concern these spoofed messages may have caused. These emails did not come from us, and we are actively working to make the situation clear so no one is misled.
Please Do NOT Click Any Links in These Emails
If you received a suspicious message:
Do not click any links.
Do not download attachments.
Do not reply to the email.
Delete it immediately.
These fraudulent links may attempt to steal personal information, install malware, or lead you to unsafe websites.
What Is Email Spoofing?
Email spoofing is a tactic used by scammers to make an email look like it came from a trusted source—using familiar names, email addresses, or branding. In reality, the message originates from a malicious sender who is disguising their identity.
Spoofers typically aim to:
Trick recipients into clicking unsafe links
Gather login credentials or personal information
Install harmful software
Create confusion or impersonate a business
Unfortunately, spoofing is common because email systems can’t always verify whether the “From” address truly belongs to the sender.
How to Protect Yourself
Here are a few ways to stay safe:
Check the sender’s actual email address, not just the display name.
Look for spelling errors, unusual requests, or messages that feel “off.”
Hover over links (without clicking) to see where they really lead.
When in doubt, contact us directly through our official website or phone number—not through the suspicious email.
We’re Here to Help
Your safety and trust are important to us. If you received one of these spoofed emails or aren’t sure whether a message is legitimate, please reach out. We’re happy to confirm anything that seems suspicious.
Thank you for your understanding, and again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Stay safe, stay cautious, and know that we value your continued support.
