Welcome to Flotilla 25, serving South Carolina and Georgia, including Lake Hartwell, Lake Keowee, Lake Jocasee, the Chattahoochee River basin, and surrounding lakes.

We are a volunteer group of U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliarists. Boater Safety and Education are our primary mission.  We work very closely with our surrounding community, state, county, and local public services, including fire, police, sheriff, and park services. We support and partner with the Department of Natural Resources and the Army Corp of Engineers, along with other federal agencies.

You will find our members serving in a variety of activities, including serving as an Honor Guard at a funeral, teaching Boater Safety courses, patrolling lakes as a partner with the sheriff or DNR, performing Vessel Safety Checks, and meeting with community partners to providing safety and boater information. Our tireless group of volunteers from all walks of life, skill sets, and occupations are here to serve.

If you are interested in joining our group, and enjoy fellowship and service, contact us for more information. You will find our contact information on these pages.
