A Unit of United States Power Squadrons ®
Sail and Power Boating

Welcome to our web-site, our members are recreational boaters united by a common interest in promoting safe boating through education and example. Boaters like us have found early on that our sport is uniquely compelling and that our time on the water is all too brief. We also have discovered that boats are a considerable investment in time and money. That is why we have taken the most important step - investing in ourselves - by learning how to operate them safely and confidently. USPS® is America's largest and oldest nonprofit recreational / educational boating organization and is dedicated to making boating safer and more enjoyable by teaching classes in basic boating, seamanship, navigation and related subjects. We invite you to join our family by promoting safe boating through education and participating with us in a wide variety of social activities, both on and off the water, such as dinners, rendezvous (joint multi-squadron on water events), and cruises.
