San Diego Sail & Power Squadron promotes safer boating through education, hands-on training, vessel safety checks, and a vibrant boating community.

Get a free, voluntary Vessel Safety Check, have a qualified examiner inspect your USCG safety gear and earn a VSC decal for your boat.

Learn sailing fundamentals in a hands-on Sail Class, rigging, sail trim, navigation, docking, safety, and seamanship for confident cruising.
We are a volunteer group of boaters dedicated to teaching seamanship, navigation, and boat safety to our members and to the public. We strive to maintain the highest standards of seamanship and boat preparedness in our own vessels, and to help our fellow boaters do the same. We also have a lot of fun together, at informative shoreside gatherings and on-the-water events such as sailing races and raft ups. We welcome newcomers, especially folks interested in learning more about the proper handling of small boats and finding one’s way at sea. You do not need to own a boat to join, and many members are happy to have newcomers join them for sails or races.
We teach about 10 courses per year on topics ranging from basic boat handling to advances navigation, to boat maintenance and weather. We offer voluntary vessel safety checks to help boat owners make sure they have all the necessary safety devices aboard. Regular social club meetings are held about 6 times a year with informal gatherings for fun and fellowship spaced in between. Join a boating club, have fun with friends, give back to the boating community, share your experience and knowledge with the next generation and others that wish to learn more about the fun of safe boating.
