Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) Examinations

Published: 26 May 2020

If your BSS certificate is due for renewal the BSS office provides guidance on their website for all boat owners.  There is no extension available in the present circumstances, so boat owners need to ensure their boats continue to comply.  DON’T FORGET – you must now have a carbon monoxide alarm in your boat. 

Go to the link below for guidance from BSS on how the examination can be conducted around social distancing, etc:

YDSA has also provided guidance on surveys which equally applies to BSS examinations, and if you are selling, ABYA has guidelines on that.
