BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – To help prepare for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division will hold courtesy boat inspections at public boat landings across the state.
In Berkeley County, courtesy boat inspections will take place at the Cypress Gardens Boat Landing, which is at 3000 Cypress Gardens Rd. in Moncks Corner, from 10 a.m. to noon on Sunday, May 29.
SCDNR officers will perform a quick, but thorough, inspection of your boat to make sure you have the required safety equipment and proper boat and motor registration for your watercraft before you launch. These inspections are completely voluntary and are not required before launching.
Boaters who take advantage of the inspection, and are found not to be in compliance with safety regulations or registration requirements, will not be ticketed during the complimentary inspections. Instead, boaters will be given an opportunity to correct the problem before they launch their boat.
SCDNR officers will also be available to answer questions and give boaters tips on how to stay safe on the water.
