Membership is by application and is for anyone who shares our common love of boating, has passed the public boating course (or equivalent), and who is interested in advancing the objectives of the organization: the education of members, participation in civic programs, and the creation of an atmosphere of friendship and camaraderie among members.

If you have taken the home study or video version of the USPS course but have not taken the examination, arrangements can be made to take the examination.

Active members must be at least 18 years of age; there are no age considerations for family members.
