Who We Are

Welcome to America's Boating Club® Savannah!

Are you passionate about boating? Looking to improve your skills, meet like-minded boaters, or
become more involved in Savannah's vibrant boating community? If so, America's Boating
Club® Savannah is the perfect place for you!

Founded in 1957, our club is proud to be part of the United States Power Squadrons® (USPS),
also known as America's Boating Club®. We’re one of the 10 active clubs in District 26,
serving boating enthusiasts across South Carolina and Coastal Georgia. Whether you're new to
boating or a seasoned captain, we offer a variety of opportunities to learn, socialize, and enjoy
the water.

​

Learn Boating Skills: Classes and On-the-Water Training

Whether you're just getting started or looking to refresh your skills, we have plenty of
educational resources to help you become a more confident and knowledgeable boater.

​

• America's Boating Course: This comprehensive course meets all of Georgia's boater
  education requirements and is perfect for new boaters or anyone needing a refresher. It’s
  also, a great way to introduce your kids or grandkids to the joys of boating!

• Jump Start Program: For those getting used to a new boat, we offer personalized, two-
  hour coaching sessions with one of our experienced volunteers. This hands-on help 
  ensures you’re comfortable and confident with your vessel.

• Advanced Training: Once you’re ready to take your skills to the next level, we offer 
  courses on boat handling, navigation, marine systems, and environmental awareness.
  Plus, we provide on-the-water training to ensure you're ready for whatever the water 
  throws your way.

• Youth Discounts: Boating is a great family activity! Ask us about special discounts for 
  young boaters (ages 11-17) to help you get your children involved in the sport.

​

Have Fun with Boating and Social Activities

Savannah’s year-round boating season means there’s always something happening at our club.
We offer a variety of events, both on and off the water, so there’s something for everyone to
enjoy.

​

• On-the-Water Activities: From lunchtime cruises to weekend getaways and fishing 
  trips, our club hosts regular boating events where members can bond over shared 
  adventures. We also organize pick-up cruises for spontaneous fun with fellow boaters.

• Boating Without Owning a Boat: Over 60 boats are owned by our members, and many 
  others are members of the Freedom Boat Club or Carefree Boat Club. Don’t have your 
  own boat? We’ll help you connect with others who do, so you can get out on the water.

• Social Gatherings: Not all of our fun happens on the water. Our dinner meetings, local
  outings, and casual get-togethers provide a great opportunity to relax, socialize, and enjoy 
  good food with fellow members.

​

Engage with the Community: Connecting with Savannah’s Boating Scene

Being part of America’s Boating Club® Savannah means connecting with other boaters and
contributing to the greater community. We actively engage in local projects and partnerships that
help enhance the boating experience for everyone.

​

 

• Partnerships with Local Organizations: We team up with the Chatham Sailing 
  Club for sailing education and the USCG Auxiliary Flotilla for Vessel Safety Checks. 
  These partnerships help us stay connected with the broader boating community and 
  ensure we're all boating safely.

• Cooperative Charting: Our members participate in Cooperative Charting, which helps 
  keep local nautical charts accurate and up to date—an important service to the boating 
  community.

• Environmental Conservation: We’re passionate about protecting our waterways. Our 
  club participates in Clean Coast beach clean-ups and supports various conservation 
  projects like the Coastal Conservation Association, the Dolphin Project, and 
  the Caretta Turtle Project. When you join us, you’re not just a boater—you’re a 
  steward of the environment.

• Boating Safety Education: Our members helped create safe boating videos 
  for America's Boating Channel, contributing to Season 5 and 6 of their educational 
  series. It’s just one of the ways we actively promote safe boating practices.
