Welcome to the Ponce de Leon Inlet Sail & Power Squadron!

Boating is fun...we’ll show you how

We are a non-profit unit of District 23 (see jurisdiction map) under the United States Power Squadrons®; and, are are located on the East Atlantic Coast in Southeast Volusia County Florida.  Centered in the 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 that teach boaters the essentials as well as the most advanced aspects needed.  Along with offering classes to the public, the Ponce Inlet Squadron also plans activities designed to bring together the community and enjoy our waterways.  Ponce Inlet extends a welcome to everybody willing to enjoy boating to its fullest extent.

Our Boating Courses


District 23

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 50,000 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 eleven squadrons located in Northeastern and Central Florida, with a total membership of about 1,200 members.  USPS squadrons, as part of their civic services, conduct boating courses for the general public.  In this regard, all eleven squadrons of District 23 hold Boat Smart® or the Squadron Boating Course® for the public throughout the year.  These classes are designed to instruct recreational boaters in safe boat handling, and are approved by and meet certification requirements of all fifty states of the United States.  To meet the needs of those who would like to take a safe boating course but cannot attend scheduled classes, USPS offers America's Boating Course®;  this course allows the public to receive instruction using a compact disk with their personal computer and a detailed instruction book.  Completion of the course requires the participant take a closed book proctored examination administered by a local USPS squadron.  All eleven squadrons of District 23 participate in America's Boating Course®. If you are interested in taking a safe boating course, call this toll free number for information on when and where the next Boat Smart® or the Squadron Boating Course® starts at a squadron near you, or get the details on America's Boating Course®! 1-888-367-8777
