Founded 1980		Ocean City Power Squadron

The Ocean City Power Squadron is a community based non-profit boating organization.  We are a group of men and women living on Maryland's Eastern Shore dedicated to improve boating education, boating safety and friendly boating.  Whether your interests are in yachts, small power boats, personal water craft, sailing vessels, canoeing, kayaking or rafting, we are here for you.  Being affiliated with the United States Power Squadrons®, which was organized in 1914, our purpose is to provide community service programs and safe boating education to the general public through our Public Boating Courses and Seminars.  Educational Guides/Booklets and more in-depth training is offered to our members through a complete boating education curriculum and the USPS University.  We have a vessel examination program where free vessel safety checks are provided to both members and the general public.  Additionally, our members continually assist NOAA in producing accurate up-to-date nautical charts of the local waters through our cooperative charting program.  The Ocean City Power Squadron also sponsors a wide variety of social activities for members and guests which include raft-ups, cruises, picnics and dinner events.

Visitors to this web page are encouraged to investigate our educational and vessel examination programs.  We encourage visitors to explore the membership opportunities available to one when joining the Ocean City Power Squadron and the many benefits and discounts one receives when being affiliated with the USPS Organization.  Squadron members are asked to provide suggestions for this web page to the webmaster or any member of the Bridge.
