One of the primary goals of Ocean City Power Squadron, a unit of the United States Power Squadrons® (USPS) is promoting “boating safety through education”.  We believe that an educated boater is a safer boater.  Our instructors who teach public courses are certified to teach and use modern instructional methods.  We provide many educational opportunities for the general public and our members through a variety of courses, public seminars and marine-related guides.

All programs are designed to foster a high standard of skill in the handling and navigation of personal water craft, small power boats, yachts, sailing vessels, canoes and kayaks.
