Welcome, On the Water Enthusiasts!

 

We are Everett Sail and Power Squadron, America’s Boating Club of Snohomish County.  Our national organization, the United States Power Squadrons®, is the oldest and largest boating organization in the United States. We are a volunteer organization that promotes boating skills and safety through public and member education. The year 2023 found us celebrating 75 years as a local organization. In 2024, we were awarded the BoatU.S. Foundation’s Distinguished Service Award, competing against 300 other USPS squadrons. This was a true honor and demonstration of our volunteerism and involvement in the community.

Our members are both sailors and power boaters (and even land yachters), including folks preparing to buy their first boat; owners with towable craft, long distance cruisers, and live-a-boards. Meetings are held at Firefighters Hall on Hewitt Avenue in Everett or occasionally virtually via Zoom or hybrid.  Educational courses are held at the Port of Everett’s Blue Heron Room, virtually via Zoom or hybrid, and on the water. Free Vessel Safety checks can be performed year-round by online request.

We teach and promote boating education, perform civic service projects around the county, and socialize with each other as recreational boaters both on and off the water. More information on what we offer can be found by navigating through this website.  In addition, we invite you to join our meetings, become a member and become part of the fellowship and camaraderie that we enjoy!
