Sue Island Sail and Power Squadron, located near Baltimore, Maryland, is a unit of the United States Power Squadrons®, a nonprofit all-volunteer national boating fraternity dedicated to promoting safe boating by educating the public and providing advanced education to our members. The USPS has taught safe boating to more than three million people in over 75 years. Sue Island Sail and Power Squadron is a proud member of District 5.

Organized in 1914, 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 has some 60,000 members organized into 450 squadrons across the country and in some US territories. USPS is America's largest non-profit boating organization and has been honored by three US presidents for its civic contributions.

As one of the best and most beautifully situated Yacht Clubs on the Chesapeake Bay, the Sue Island Sail and Power Squadron has called the BYC its home since our inception in 1944. After becoming a member of the Squadron a number of courses are available to our members. Not all courses are offered each year and some courses have prerequisites of other courses. Courses are held here at the BYC on Wednesday evenings and most courses are twelve weeks long. We hope that you will be interested in taking some courses and we are sure they will make you a safer and more competent boater as well as making your boating experiences more pleasurable.
