CAPT. BOYD VERRET is a 1976 towing vessel. The Coast Guard has recorded 24 inspections since 1998, most recently in January 2026, along with 12 deficiencies, 1 operational control and 5 casualty investigations between 2018 and 2025.
Records from 1998 to 2026. Most recent: inspection, 7 January 2026.
Coast Guard record current through 23 August 2026, retrieved 5 September 2026 from PSIX. Every field on this page was recorded by the Coast Guard. Records for the Towing Vessel class in Maury's sources begin in 1980.
Every line above is a count of records the US Coast Guard wrote, or a date it recorded.
A blank resolution means none was recorded in this data; it does not establish that a
deficiency is outstanding. Years with a record are calendar years in which a record
exists, not years in service. What Maury does
not do.

The Coast Guard recorded this vessel and the following in the same
inspection activity — normally a tug and the barges in its tow. A recreational or
unclassed hull in the same activity is held and not published, so it does not appear
here: these lists are a floor, not a complete manifest.
