"The Nation's Oldest Flotilla"
The Coast Guard Auxiliary assists the United States Coast Guard in all its missions except law enforcement. Flotilla 63 serves the greater Buzzards Bay area. It is the nation's oldest active flotilla having been chartered September 16, 1939. Our flotilla was the first in the nation to adopt a lighthouse. Ned's Point Lighthouse is located on Ned's Point Road in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts. It is open to the public for tours during the summer months. For more information about Ned's Point Lighthouse, please visit: http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/maritime/ned.htm.
Our flotilla is active in Boating Safety & Seamanship classes, please visit our "Current Class" page for available classes. We also accommodate organizations and schools interested in hosting a public education class. For more information you may contact us at auxiliary63@yahoo.com.
If you own a Boat, PWC or Kayak our flotilla is happy to provide you with a "Vessel Safety Check" free of charge. Upon meeting the requirements of the VSC program, you are entitled to display the Safety Seal on your vessel, this shows others your dedication to safety and assures your vessel is properly equipped. The VSC program is totally voluntary and no violations are ever issued.
