Coast Guard Certified
Safety You Can Trust
Official U.S. Coast Guard Inspected Vessel
When you step aboard the Charter Boat MAKO II, you’re choosing one of the few officially U.S. Coast Guard inspected vessels in Rhode Island. Safety is our top priority, and we undergo rigorous annual inspections to meet all Coast Guard safety regulations.
What Does a Coast Guard Inspection Mean?
- U.S. small passenger vessels under 100 gross tons operating on navigable waters must meet strict safety standards.
- The U.S. Coast Guard conducts thorough safety inspections to ensure vessel integrity and crew licensing compliance.
- MAKO II exceeds safety requirements with top-tier navigation technology, high gunwales, and a solid, stable design for a smooth and secure ride.
Not All Charter Boats Are Inspected!
Many 6-pack charter boats (licensed for up to 6 passengers) are NOT Coast Guard inspected—even if they claim otherwise. Choosing an uninspected vessel could put your safety at risk. When you fish with MAKO II, you know you’re on a vessel that meets the highest standards.
