When you join the Naples Sail
and Power Squadron you will have the satisfaction of knowing that
you are in the selected company of individuals and families that
share your love of boating.
We anticipate that you will be equally interested
in advancing the objectives of our
organization: the education of members, participation in civic
programs, and the creation of an atmosphere of friendship and camaraderie
among members. Your membership has also a number of advantages.
Membership is by application, which must
be proposed by a current member and seconded. After Squadron review
of the application, an invitation is extended. We encourage you
to visit or contact us
to learn of your intentions to become a member so that we facilitate
the process. We are located
in Naples, Florida. Here are additional requirements:
| • |
To be a least 18 years
of age. There are no age considerations for family members. |
| • |
Provide certification
of passing a prescribed course, such as the USPS Boating Course.
There could be course equivalents to satisfy this requirement.
Please contact us for more information. |

Upon completion of all requirements, the invitation is reviewed
by the USPS national headquarters, which issues a certificate of
membership. Membership is not restricted to boat owners, nor owners
of large vessels.
To prepare you toward your membership, our
squadron teaches at least one or two USPS Boating Courses every
year. The courses usually begin in the Summer, then again in November
and January. Please check our course
schedule and contact
us with your inquiries.
Active members in good standing of other
squadrons of USPS, or of the Canadian Power and Sail Squadron may
also be granted an associate membership.
Family and associate members shall
enjoy only such privileges as are in accordance with the policy
and authority of USPS relating to voting, holding elective office,
or representation at specified meetings.
The current Squadron annual dues for
new members are as follows:
| • |
Active Member
|
$80.00 |
| • |
2nd Active Member |
$45.50 |
| • |

Dues are prorated for members joining
during the Squadron year. Contact
