Founded in 1948, the Clearwater Sail Power Squadron is a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to making boating safer and more enjoyable by teaching free-instruction safe boating classes to the public.  In addition, our members can participate in advanced courses in seamanship, navigation, cruise planning and other activities.

Our members are part of a boating family comprised of 60,000 members in 450 squadrons of the United States Power Squadrons® -- America's largest non-profit boating organization. As part of its effort to promote safe boating, the Squadron provides a number of courses and workshops open to the public (see links to the left). Events are hosted at our state-of-the-art headquarters in downtown Clearwater by volunteers with extensive qualifications and training.  The Squadron prepares its members to travel the waters of both Tampa Bay and the world beyond.

As a member, you will surely enjoy our camaraderie and develop enduring friendships through social activities such as cruises, floatilla gatherings, parades, dinner dances and more!  We encourage individuals, couples, and families to join – whether power or sail!
