America’s Boating Club of Snohomish County, will be offering to the public on the fundamentals of recreational boating. The increased knowledge will enhance your safety on the water and your enjoyment of the sport. The course is divided into two types of learning: in-class lectures with reading assignments and homework sections.

The course covers in-depth subjects. Topics include: an introduction to various types of boats, boating laws related to registration, state and local regulation, required safety equipment, accident reporting, protecting the marine environment, weather, and many more subjects of special interest to recreational boaters. The course is designed to familiarize the student with the basics needed to operate a boat safely and comply with state and federal laws. Upon successful completion of the final test, students will qualify for the Washington State Boater Education Card which is required before operating watercraft in our state.

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!
