⚠️ Illegal charter operations are UNSAFE!
CHECK THE CAPTAIN 📕
If you're paying for a boat ride, the captain must have a valid U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Credential!
Illegal charter operations pose a significant risk to the safety of their passengers, their crew and the maritime community. Keep yourself safe and don't waste your time or money on an illegal charter!
👀 See a suspicious charter? Report it through the National Response Center at 1-877-24WATCH (1-877-249-2824).
For immediate danger to life or property, dial 911 or call the Coast Guard on VHF-FM Marine Channel 16.
