Beverly-Marblehead Sail & Power Squadron (BMSPS) provides opportunities to continue your Boating EducationSocialize with Members, and participate in Community Activities. BMSPS also provides an opportunity to Make a Difference.

Our members are generally located on the north shore of Boston, Massachusetts. Our member meetings are held at the Jubilee Yacht Club (127 Water Street, Beverly, MA). Our activities usually occur in and around Salem Sound, Boston Harbor, and Cape Ann.

You can start by taking courses and seminars, and joining us at fun member events. Then you can help others by becoming active in our Education Team, either teaching a topic yourself or starting as an assistant.  If your “taste” is more on the social side, there are opportunities to become active in our Meetings & Events Team.  As a Vessel Examiner, you can help educate boaters on what makes the safest boat!
