 Boating is fun. We will show you how!

The Vero Beach Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club, is a boating organization. We are one of the 300+ squadrons of the United States Power Squadrons (USPS) ® and are part of District 8 which covers the East Coast of Florida from Sebastian Inlet to Key West. The website is: verobeachpowersquadron.com .

The VBPS is located at 301 Acacia Road, Vero Beach, FL. and is a non-profit organization.  We are a group of numerous volunteers and the action takes place at the squadron building located in Mac Williams Park boat basin on the Indian River. VBPS membership offers an opportunity to make new friends with people who have common interests for boating.  You do not need to own a boat to become a member and enjoy the activities. 

There is an active paddle group plus Boat Beach-ups for those who want to get out on the water with friends. Also, there are small groups within the squadron, such as the Book Club, Golfing, MahJongg and Birding. In addition we have a very active social calendar with monthly dinners plus our weekly Friday socials from 5:30 to 7:30 throughout the year.
