The Squadron Boating Course is a traditional civic service of the
United States Power Squadrons® organization. Since 1914, local squadrons have presented
the course to anyone who wished to attend - to date more than 3 million people.
Learning to boat safely is important and the increased knowledge will enhance your
safety on the water and your enjoyment of the sport. And, many insurance companies offer
discounted premiums for boat owners who have completed the course.
The Squadron Boating Course is designed to be useful to all boaters, from the fisherman
in an outboard to the skipper of a large cruiser or sailboat. All boaters are subject
to nautical rules and regulations. Skippers should learn and respect traditional boating courtesies.
The course is meant to be of interest to the entire family; older children are welcome.
We encourage your family to attend as a group.
The Squadron Boating Course contains sixteen sections. There are homework questions at
the end of each section to assist retention of the information presented.
