The Ocean City Power Squadron is a community based non-profit boating organization. We are a group of men and women living on Maryland's Eastern Shore dedicated to promoting a friendly boating environment while improving boating education and boating safety through services such as our Vessel Safety Examination Program  that provides free vessel safety checks to both members and the general public.

The Ocean City Power Squadron also sponsors a wide variety of Social Activities for members and guests which include raft-ups, cruises, picnics and dinner/dance events. Visitors to this web page are encouraged to investigate our educational and vessel safety examination programs.
