Who we are / What we do
We are "The New York Harbor Flotilla 014-05-10" of
the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. We are in the First
District, Southern Region or 14, in the 5th Division, and are the
10th Flotilla. We are New Yorkers, and proud of it.
The Coast Guard Auxiliary is the volunteer, civilian branch of the
Coast Guard. To learn more about the Auxiliary, take a look
at our national site by clicking on the links above.
Flotilla 5-10 serves the boating public of the Lower Manhattan and the
NY Harbor, providing boating safety education, performing courtesy
vessel safety checks, aiding the US Coast Guard in water safety, search
and rescue, and communications. We have an active training program for our
members in order to achieve these goals.
Our flotilla is also dedicated to
serving Station New York, the USCG small boat station located in Staten
Island where some
of our members can be found working alongside active duty USCG
personnel. We also have the most active teaching staff in the
region and run more USCG Auiliary operations courses than any flotilla
in the division.
The New York Harbor Flotilla meets on the third Tuesday of every month
at the USCG MIO offices at 7 pm. These meetings can be very brief and
are generally followed by a class during cooler months when we are not out on the water.
We are always looking for enthusiastic new members, so if you think
volunteering with the Auxiliary might be for you, please contact us.
