Welcome to the Flotilla 5-2, District 1SR Web Site

Welcome to the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary’s official website for Flotilla 5-2. Stationed in the Bronx of New York City, members of Flotilla 5-2 interact and engage with the community on a professional and personal level. Auxiliary members conduct safety patrols on local waterways, assist in Search and Rescue, teach boating safety classes, conduct free vessel safety checks for the public, provide boating safety literature to marine dealers, as well as many other activities related to recreational boating safety.

Although the Auxiliary’s main focus revolves around recreational boating safety; we regularly serve alongside our active-duty shipmates serving as communications watch-standers, uninspected passenger vessel inspectors, training resources for air and sea operations, numerous duties related to environmental protection and homeland security, and even as chefs! In fact, there are nearly two dozen "qualifications" open to Auxiliarists willing to put in the time and training. Collectively, Auxiliarists volunteer over 4.5 million hours per year and complete nearly 500,000 missions – a true force multiplier for the Coast Guard!

Flotilla 5-2 has members that are dedicated to educating and assisting the community as it relates to recreational boating safety. Those that are interested in participating in Flotilla activities are more than welcome to join us. Applicants will be able to find and work on projects that best suit their interests. Membership in the Auxiliary is open to individuals who are 17 years of age and older. More information regarding applying to the Coast Guard Auxiliary can be found on our website as well as on the official U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary website.
