United States Power Squadrons®
Organized in 1914, The United States Power Squadron (USPS) is a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to making boating safer and more enjoyable by teaching classes in seamanship, navigation and related subjects.
 
Our members are boating families who contribute to their communities by promoting safe boating through education.  We enjoy participating with our fellow members on the water and in the classroom.
 
USPS is America's largest boating club, with over 60,000 members organized into 450 squadrons across the country and in some US territories.  USPS  has been honored by three US presidents for its civic contributions.
 
USPS - America's Boating Club.  A network of friends and fun.  Enjoy friendship and camaraderie on-the-water and off with fellow members who are skilled in boating.  On-the-water activities include: cruises, rendezvous, raft-ups, fishing derbies and more.   Activities ashore include marine programs, picnics, ice cream socials and educational programs.

Becoming a member of USPS requires passing a boating safety course taught by a local squadron (or another approved organization) and being sponsored by a squadron member.  Successfully completing the USPS boating course meets the educational requirements for boat operation in all U.S. states.    
  
 
 

Our members are eligible to take other boating classes including: seamanship, piloting, advanced piloting, navigation, engine maintenance, sail, marine electronics, weather, cruise planning and other courses.
