SERVING THE INLAND LAKES AND RIVERS OF THE MADISON WI AREA

 

The Coast Guard Auxiliary in Madison is welcoming NEW MEMBERS to join our program CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION

U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is the uniformed, all-volunteer, civilian component of the United States Coast Guard.  The Auxiliary was established by Congress in 1939 and currently has over 21,000 members who daily support the Coast Guard as a force multiplier in all its non-military and non-law enforcement missions.  See this message from the Commandant of the Coast Guard.

In inland portions of the country where recreational boating occurs on lakes and rivers, the Auxiliary is essentially the sole Coast Guard presence.  Our Flotilla is proud to serve Madison's recreational boating community (for the past 81 years!) by:

• assisting boaters during our safety and security patrols
• providing free safety checks of their boats
• teaching DNR-certified boating safety classes as well as some specialty classes (Boating Skills and Seamanship, GPS, etc)
• meeting the public in many different venues to provide information on water safety
