Who We Are

We are boaters committed to safe boating! As a group of people who enjoy boating, together we make up the Palm Beach Sail & Power Squadron. Our members who come from the West Palm Beach and surrounding area (Boca Raton to Hobe Sound) come from different backgrounds and represent all walks of life.

We are volunteers dedicated to promoting safe boating through education, community service, and social activities. We offer boating instruction to the public and advanced courses to our members. We have fun at our meetings and the events we partake in, but most of all we especially enjoy our time on the water!

We are a private non-profit organization with over 100 sailors, boaters, and those who share a commn interest in learning the ropes of boats.

Boat ownership is not a requirement for membership.

We invite you to "sail or motor" through our website for information about all our activities => educational, social, and civic.
