T
he U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is comprised of over 27,000 volunteers dedicated to safer recreational boating on the waters of the United States. These individuals undergo special training so that they are able to assist and augment the United States Coast Guard in its non-military, non-law enforcement programs such as: boating education, safety patrols, search and rescue, and aids to navigation.
To join the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary you must be 17 years of age or older and a United States citizen. Ownership of a boat, radio station or an air craft is desirable but not mandatory. There are other requirements but they are not extraordinary. Check out our Join the Auxiliary page for more information.
Flotilla 16-02 based in Plymouth North Carolina is the oldest chartered flotilla in North Carolina and is currently the only flotilla in the western portion of the Albemarle Sound. Anyone living in this area knows the volume of boats based in and traveling through our waters. We need your help to make boating in this area as safe as possible. If you would like more information about what we do and learn how you can help us and your fellow boaters, please contact Vice Commander Louis Manring at (252) 722-2392 or email him at lmanring@mchsi.com. Our Flotilla welcomes new members and provides the necessary training which opens a world of opportunities to boating enthusiasts.
During the fall and winter months, we offer public education courses, including Boating Skills and Seamanship (BSS), Sailing Fundamentals (SF) and Navigation (NAV) and GPS for Mariners (GPS)
During the summer boating season, we provide free Vessel Safety Checks (VSC), conduct operational patrols and offer other services to the boating public.
We are here to serve and to educate you about safe boating.
