Top		Who we are We are located in the Wilmington, DE area. Our members live in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Our boating is mainly done on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay. Wilmington Power Squadron (WPS) is a unit of the United States Power Squadrons® (USPS®) and a member of District 5 (D/5) covering the Mid-Atlantic states. USPS is a nonprofit, educational organization dedicated to making boating safer and more enjoyable by teaching classes in seamanship, navigation and related subjects. Our members are boating families who contribute to the community by promoting safe boating through education. We enjoy participating with our fellow members on the water and in the classroom. Prior to leaving on a boating trip, whether for a afternoon, day, or longer, file a float plan.
