Non-Profit Organizations

Friends of the Club include many non-profit organizations that Kings Point Sportsman’s Club proudly supports by raising awareness and promoting causes important to our members. These valued groups include the Sun City Center Emergency Squad, which provides basic life support services, and the Nearly New Thrift Shop, which raises funds for community needs and scholarships. We also support local food pantries, animal rescues, and museums dedicated to preserving history and culture, such as the Florida Railroad Museum and Selby Gardens. By partnering with these organizations, the club strengthens community connections and helps make a meaningful impact beyond our membership.

Welcome to America’s Boating Club® Manatee Sail & Power Squadron The City Of Bradenton & Manatee County

The United States Power Squadrons® is America’s Boating Club®. We are a nation-wide boating organization that is structured into over 30 districts with over 300 squadrons that are geographically associated, including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. We learn together, boat together, and help each other and other boaters on the water and on land. Our members learn boating skills, engage with boating friends, and connect with the boating community.

America’s Boating Club, City of Bradenton and Manatee County is located on the west coast of Florida. Part of our core mission is the promotion of boating safety through education. We offer very comprehensive public boating education classes and/or seminars to the boating community. You are invited to look at our Education page for Educational opportunities.

Our club also provides free Vessel Safety Inspections (VSC). VSC are on a volunteer bases but offer the boat owner a second set of eyes in helping them comply with federal and state safety rules. Upon a satisfactory VSC, the boater owner receives a VSC decal to display on his boat. This service is offered in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and supported by Boat U.S.

Our meetings are held on the First Tuesday of each month at 1900 (7:00PM) at the Palmetto Elks Club. Membership in our Squadron usually begins when you sign up and complete one of the “America’s Boating Course” classes. During the class you will learn about safe boating, interact with other students, squadron/club members, and learn why our Squadron is “The Fun Squadron”.
