VERO BEACH POWER SQUADRON : Safe Boating Classes

What is a Vero Beach Power Squadron?

Vero Beach Power Squadron(VBPS) is a non-profit group of volunteers who are socially compatible and have a common love and appreciation for pleasure boating, whether power or sail.

For more detail on VBPS see the December (20) archive posts.....

We are a member of District 8. We are one of the 450+ squadrons of the United States Power Squadron ®.

District 8 is one of the 33 districts in the organization and covers the East Coast of Florida from Sebastian Inlet to Key West.

Objectives of the organization are self education, civic service and social activities.

You do not need to own a boat to be a member.

The VBPS was chartered in 1956.

Safe Boating Classes

The classes show are open to the public.Its a great way to get an introduction into boating and we encourage all of you to do so. There are 7 different times to chose from. We have an 8 hour program on the weekends, a 14 hour 7 week Tuesday night program and a variety of 2 hour seminars sometime in June.

In the next few years all boaters will need a certificate to operate a vessel on the waters so you might as well get a jump on it.

We put special emphasis on boating education for members with courses ranging from Seamanship to Celestial Navigation, Engine Maintenance to Weather.
