Since 1914, The Ensign has been the official magazine of United States Power Squadrons, America’s Boating Club. Our mission is to inform, educate and entertain members and other boating enthusiasts.
Every issue contains boating tips and sage advice from experienced boaters who’ve been there, done that, and literally wrote the books.
