The Erie Power Squadron is a boating organization that provides many services to the public.

Please check our Public Courses page if you or someone you know is interested in a boating course or needs one to comply with state regulations.  All information, pertaining to these regulations, is on this page.  A new Public Boating Course is being planned for March 1, 2009.  It will be held at the VA Medical Center.  It is an 8 week course on Monday nights.  Please contact Tony Kloszewski at 878-3636 for more information.

We also offer the  America's Boating Course through the United States Power Squadron.  It is an online course that is studied on the USPS website.  When it is time for the test, an Erie Power Squadron member will proctor the test.  If you are interested in this approach, please let us know.

We will also be offering seminars in the future.  For a list of seminars and the opportunity to let us know which one's interest you most, go to the Public Courses page.  Please watch for times and dates.
