Thank you for considering  joining the greatest fraternity of boaters in the United States.  We're over 50,000 members, with clubs in all fifty states.  We're about evenly split between powerboaters and sailors, with members with pontoon boats, trailered sailboats, bass boats, big cruisers, live-aboard sailboats, and members with no boats at all.  So, regardless of your boating background or interest level, you'll definitely fit in, and we'd love to have you.   No matter where you boat in the Southeast, we've got members there.  Fill out the form below and we'll have someone from the local squadron contact you.   The requirements for membership are simple:
  1. Attend our Public Boating class, called "Boat Smart".
  2. Take and pass the easy exam at the end of the class.
  3. Fill out an application.
  4. Start coming to our classes and events.

In lieu of Boat Smart, several other basic boating safety courses are accepted, e.g. American Sailing Association "Basic Keelboat," and several state-sponsored boating safety courses. The complete list is available by clicking here.
