America’s Boating Club is the world’s largest recreational boating organization with more than 20,000 members.  For more than 100 years, we have worked to make the water a safer place through boating education, civic service and fellowship.  With America’s Boating Club of Snohomish County, you can improve your boating skills and knowledge online, in the classroom with certified instructor, or outdoors with hands-on training.  By joining America’s premier boating organization, you can have fun with other boaters on the water and land!
 

Our members enjoy many affordable and comprehensive programs that increase their boating knowledge and skills, help them have more fun and connect them with fellow boaters through a variety of education and social activities.  With membership, you receive:
 

  • Boating Education to help you become a more competent and safer boater
     

  • A wide variety of comprehensive courses and informative seminars to advance your skills and knowledge in boat operation and maintenance
     

  • Savings of 20% or more on courses or seminar
     

  • Flexibility in scheduling your education through classroom instruction, on-line courses and on the water skills training
     

  • Interaction with a group of experienced boaters who know how to have fun cruises, potlucks and get togethers
     

  • Opportunities to provide community service to our neighbors, fellow boaters and the environment
     

  • Savings on boat insurance and many other products and services
     

The only requirements for membership are a keen interest in boating and related activities, and an eagerness to meet like-minded people.  You don’t need a boat to join.  Contact us through our membership page to learn more about how to take a class or become a member.
 

Fair winds and smooth seas,

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!
