About Us
Float Plan Central, a public service of the
U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, is the official site
of the float plan including the products and
services that support and promote its use.
Founded on January 17, 2003 by U.S. Coast
Guard Auxiliarist Vern Jansky, the father of the
modern float plan, Float Plan Central was
created with a single purpose, to provide
the recreational boater with the easiest
possible access to the most effective float
plan
in the world--at no cost. Since that time Float
Plan Central has evolved into the most
comprehensive Float Planning resource available.
Mr. Jansky has a long history with
the float plan. From his first design 1991,
which became part of the "Federal
Requirements and Safety Tips for Recreational
Boaters" in 1994, to the state-of-the-art Float
Plan in Adobe PDF format introduced in May 2001,
his commitment to providing the most effective
"lifesaving device" has been
unwavering. This is further evidenced with the
introduction of the Boating Emergency Guide™
which made the USCG Float Plan a fully
functional lifesaving device.
