Welcome to the Flotilla 1-2, District 1SR Web Site

Since 1939 the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary has safeguarded our Nation’s maritime interests in the heartland, in the ports, at sea, and around the globe. Members from all walks of life bring their training and experience as a member of the uniformed volunteer component of the United States Coast Guard.

Flotilla 1-2 is located in Amityville, NY.  

The Amityville flotilla is disbanding as of October 31, 2022. Existing members will be transferring to other local Coast Guard Auxiliary flotillas that also service the Great South Bay. It has been our honor and privilege to provide service to the local Amityville community for 22 years! We wish everyone good luck and Godspeed!

Please see the website for information about Coast Guard Auxiliary Division 1, Central Long Island.
