Who We Are-
We are part of the United States Power Squadrons
®, a non-profit, volunteer group who enjoying power boating and sailing, dedicated to safer and more enjoyable boating through education. We invite you to attend any one of several boating safety classes that we offer in order to increase your knowledge of basic boating skills, water safety and right-of-way rules. This instruction and testing satisfies requirements for Texas Boater Education, enabling you to apply for a reduction in your boat insurance.

Successful completion of the boat safety exam also qualifies you for APS membership which offers a variety of social and community service activities like raft ups and party barge events on Lake Travis and cleanups of local lakes as well as cooperative charting throughout the district.

Advanced classroom instruction gives members continued educational opportunities in subjects such as Seamanship, Sailing (including on-board training), Cruise Planning, Piloting, Advanced Piloting, Marine Electronics, Engine Maintenance, Navigation and Weather. Other seminars are offered throughout the year on a wide variety of subjects.

The Austin Power Squadron was chartered by 28 avid boaters on September 11, 1961 and has grown to exceed 100 members. We are one of fourteen squadrons in District 21 which spans Texas and Louisiana and part of the United States Power Squadron celebrating 90 years of continued world-wide growth. Our pennant is the Lone Star Flag of Texas with seven vertical blue and white stripes representing the seven Highland Lakes of Central Texas.

Simply put, we are a non-profit, fraternal group of civic volunteers dedicated to improving the safety of recreational boating through education who have a lot of fun along the way.
