Jack Martin & Associates/Avon-Dixon Insurance Agency are partnering with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police to host a Courtesy Vessel Safety inspection Day on Saturday, May 11, 2013 at the Truxtun Park Boat Ramp in Annapolis from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. Reserve officers from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police will conduct the comprehensive inspections at no charge to watercraft owners, which are expected to take approximately 15 to 20 minutes per vessel. Reservations are not required and inspections will occur on a first come, first served basis. Check-in for inspections will be at the Jack Martin & Associates/Avon-Dixon Insurance Agency information table that will be located near the boat ramp. Jack Martin & Associates/Avon-Dixon Insurance Agency will also be available on-site to offer boat, yacht and personal watercraft insurance information.
“We are excited about this partnership with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police to promote maritime safety and provide an opportunity for boat owners to ensure their vessel is sea-worthy and properly insured for the start of the 2013 boating season,” says Jon Horton, Assistant Vice President and Sales Manager of Jack Martin & Associates/Avon-Dixon Insurance Agency.
“Events like this are important to promote boat and boater safety,” comments Robin Marshall, customer service representative for Avon-Dixon Insurance Agency and volunteer reserve officer for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police. “Too many times accidents are caused when vessel owners don’t take the time for routine inspection and maintenance. We want to ensure that vessel owners have the opportunity to have a safe and fun boating season.”
The Truxtun Park Boat Ramp can be accessed via Primrose Road. For more information about the Courtesy Vessel Safety Inspection Day, contact Robin Marshall at robin.marshall@avondixon.com or by phone at 410.763.7287.
