Welcome to the Flotilla 1-7, District 11NR Web Site

On these pages you will find information about Flotilla 1-7's history, our members, and our mission to support the efforts of the United States Coast Guard. We have a proud 50 year history of serving the San Francisco Bay area.

Our Flotilla is based on Yerba Buena Island at Sector San Francisco. We meet on the 3rd Saturday of the month for our normal business meetings followed by fellowship with our members. Throughout the year, we provide a variety of programs and guest speakers for our diverse membership.

Flotilla 1-7 provides Public Education courses on Safe Recreational Boating and Marine Safety. In addition, we support the public by offering free Vessel Examinations. Our members, who are boat qualified, accompany the Coast Guard on Search and Rescue, Patrols, Aids to Navigation and Marine Safety missions.

If you are looking for an exciting and meaningful volunteer activity, one that helps to save peoples' lives, then I invite you to inquire about membership in the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary.
