Cincinnati Sail & Power Squadron
Chartered 1938
Membership in a local squadron, such as Cincinnati, includes membership in the national organization, the United States Power Squadron® (USPS). Most members have followed a simple pathway by completing a Safe Boating Class to enjoy the benefits of squadron membership. e-mail the Membership Chairman at csps@cincinnatiboating.org for NEW application conditions. We welcome all experienced boaters and members of Coast Guard Auxiliary.
The public boating course refers to courses offered by USPS, CPS (Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons), or the Coast Guard Auxiliary. If you have taken the home study video version of the USPS course but have not taken the examination, arrangements can be made with our squadron to take the examination by calling 513-554-BOAT.
Active members must be at least 18 years of age; there are no age considerations for family members.
If you are interested in joining please call 513-554-BOAT and leave a message so that our membership chairman may contact you.
To make arrangements to take either the one day Saturday class or the three evening class format of the The Boating Course please call 513-554-BOAT.
