Welcome Aboard!

U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Division 18 9WR serves southwestern Michigan

Individuals or groups interested in recreational boating safety are invited to take advantage of our educational programs, free vessel safety checks, or even becoming a member of our flotilla.

In addition to public educational programs and vessel safety checks, our members also receive special training to assist the U.S. Coast Guard in non-law enforcement programs such as safety patrols, search and rescue, and marine environmental protection.

Our  Division meets at 10:30 a.m. on the second Saturday of every month at the US Coast Guard Station, in St. Joseph, Michigan. Visitors are always welcome.
