Welcome to the Flotilla 14-4, District 7 Web Site

Flotilla 14-4

 

The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is the uniformed, volunteer civilian component of the United States Coast Guard, established by Congress in 1939 to assist in promoting boating safety. It boasts over 20,000 members from all walks of life who receive special training so that they may serve as an integral part of Team Coast Guard. Auxiliarists donate more than 2 million hours annually to benefit other boaters and their families, assisting the Coast Guard in all its missions except direct law enforcement and military action.

Flotilla 14-4 is based in Jacksonville Beach, Florida and was founded in 1962. Its members carry out this mission in the area of Jacksonville and Jacksonville Beach, although we often are assigned missions beyond this area. We proudly carry on the Auxiliary’s tradition of public service through one of the most active Flotillas in the northern Florida.

Flotilla 14-4 provides the best in public boating education and performs Vessel Safety Checks, on-water safety patrols, search and rescue missions, marine safety and environmental protection, and cross-training duties with active duty and reserve Coast Guard personnel. The Auxiliary’s ability to provide these boating safety programs is based on the ongoing development of key skills among its members. Our volunteer members receive expert training in how to teach novice boaters the basics of seamanship and advanced boaters the finer points of navigation. We learn how to inspect recreational vessels for adequate safety equipment and to serve as the Coast Guard’s direct representative providing boating safety information to the local boating community. Our hands-on training for a variety of on-water missions is conducted to standards established by the U.S. Coast Guard. 

If you are motivated to make your own contribution to boating safety through Flotilla 14-4, the Auxiliary offers many options for you to get involved. Whether you can spare one hour a week or 40, we can provide you the chance to promote safe boating as well as to extend your own training, both on and off the water. The main prerequisite is your willingness to participate.
