Our Mission
Flotilla 2-1 serves the Syracuse, NY area. We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of every month and hold social activities throughout the year. We provide free vessel safety checks at local marinas. We also offer safe boating classes to the public.
Our members are qualified in many different operational capacities; many are qualified vessel examiners who conduct vessel safety checks and recreational boating safety visits.We often provide assistance to boaters both experienced and novice.
