Welcome to the Ponce de Leon Inlet Sail
& Power Squadron!
We are a unit of
District
23 (see
map) under the
United
States Power Squadrons®, a
non-profit boating safety education organization; and, are located
on the East Atlantic Coast in East/Southeast Volusia County Florida.
Centered in the Ponce Inlet, Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach/Edgewater-Oak
Hill area, our goal is to promote safe boating on our waters and to
ensure everybody is equipped with the knowledge needed to make responsible
decisions behind the helm. We achieve these goals by offering
educational courses, classes, instruction, and fellowship that teach
community and member boaters the essentials as well as the most advanced
aspects needed. Along with offering classes to the public, the
Squadron also plans activities designed to bring together the community
and enjoy our waterways. Ponce de Leon Inlet Sail & Power Squadron
extends a welcome to everybody willing to enjoy boating to its fullest
extent.
District 23 is one of the 33 Districts
which make up the United States Power Squadrons®,
the world's largest non-profit, family oriented,
recreational boating organization devoted to
safe boating through education. Our National
Organization has more than 40,000 enthusiastic
members throughout the United States and Puerto
Rico who provide public boating education courses
to all current and prospective boaters.
Districts are made up of local squadrons in
their regional areas. District 23 is composed
of ten squadrons located in Northeastern
and Central Florida, with a total membership
of about 960 members.
USPS squadrons, as part of their civic services,
conduct boating courses for the general public.
In this regard, all ten squadrons of District
23 hold America's Boating Course®
for the public.
If you are interested in an exciting,
in-depth boating safety course, check out
America's Boating Course.
Many boat insurance companies will offer
discounts on boating insurance to boaters
who successfully complete America's Boating
Course. And, this beginner boating class
will give you the knowledge needed to obtain
a boat license or safety certification in
many states.
America's Boating Course can be taken in any
of three ways: on the Internet, by studying
a 244-page course manual, or with a CD. No
matter how you like to learn, when you sign
up you'll receive a complete package that
includes the course manual, the boating
course CD, and a PIN number giving you
access to the Internet course.
The course manual, CD and online course
contain identical material, except for your
state-specific boating law, which can only
be accessed online. This boat safety course
is fun and very thorough.
