Here is a short online magazine with lots of useful boating tips and links. It is put out by our parent organization, United States Power Squadrons^®.

There is general info about our organization below the form. You can get specific info via the menu choices at the top of the page.

The Houston Sail and Power Squadron (HSPS), a unit of the nation-wide United States Power Squadrons^® (USPS) non-profit organization, has been promoting safe boating and education in the Houston, Texas area since 1949. For over sixty years we have had fun educating the public in safe boating practices, conducting U.S. Coast Guard-approved vessel safety inspections, and helping NOAA keep its nautical charts up-to-date. The waters we routinely cruise include Lake Livingston, Lake Conroe, Clear Lake, Galveston Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico.

Our members enhance their personal boating skills through course work and on-the-water certification in charting, piloting, navigation, marine electronics, sailing and power boat operation – to name a few. Our members also enjoy a variety of activities such as: group cruises, fishing tournaments, picnics, and dinner engagements.

Effective January 1, 2010, Houston Sail and Power Squadron, began preparing to offer the complete range of nationally recognized USPS boating courses (previously available only to USPS members) to the PUBLIC!!!

For more information on these courses, including class schedules and any pre-reqs, please contact Rick Fisher at 281-734-4443.

You are welcome – actually you are encouraged - to join us!
