======BoatU.S.======
BoatU.S. (Boat Owners Association of the United States) is a major partner of the Coast Guard Auxiliary Association.  As the Memorandum of Agreement, states, their partnership serves "to engage more boaters in the pastime of boating, to enroll more students in safety education courses, inform boaters about the importance of getting a Vessel Safety Check and to encourage active participation in the Auxiliary."

Since 2012, BoatU.S has sponsored the Vessel Safety Check (VSC) program and decals.

The [[http://www.boatus.com/|BoatU.S. website]] is geared primarily towards members, and among the service and benefits available to them are government representation, boat insurance, towing, loans, and lettering, classified ads, travel services and roadside assistance for trailerboaters.
