Mission

  • To promote and improve Recreational Boating Safety
  • To provide a diverse array of specialized skills, trained crews, and capable facilities to augment the Coast Guard and enhance safety and security of our lakes and waterways

  • We are committed to the efficient delivery of boating safety information and developing the skills/knowledge of the boating public.
  • While we are volunteers, we are bound by the commitments we make to our shipmates and to those we serve.
