Welcome Aboard!

U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 3-8 serves the area in and around (Chicago, Illinois).

Individuals and groups interested in recreational boating safety are invited to take advantage of our educational programs, free vessel safety checks, and 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 flotilla normally meets at 7:00PM (1900Hrs) p.m. on the Third Wednesday of every month, at Signature Aviation at Ohare Airport. Visitors are welcome.
