America’s Boating Club St. Petersburg, serving the Tampa Bay, Pinellas County, St. Petersburg, Florida area, is in District 22 of America’s Boating Club ® (a.k.a the United States Power Squadrons®). America’s Boating Club is a nonprofit boating organization formed in 1914 with approximately 350 squadrons. The St. Petersburg Sail & Power Squadron (SPSPS) was chartered in 1939.
The Boating Safety Course is available to anyone 12 or older.
Completion of this course will enable the student to skipper a boat with confidence. Because most skippers will attend only one safety course, we believe it should be as comprehensive as possible.
Plus, graduates are eligible to join the squadron and take advantage of all the other great educational opportunities afforded to SPSPS members.
The Boating Safety Course will be offered once a quarter – Jan, Mar, Sept and Oct 2026.
