Welcome to the Flotilla 5-1, District 8ER Web Site

Flotilla 5-1 of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary is located in Western Hills, and serves the greater Cincinnati area boating public through surface operations on the Ohio river and surrounding lakes as well as boating education classes, and vessel safety checks.

We provide boating safety support to major events on the Ohio River such as Riverfest, Paddlefest, and WEBN fireworks.

If you have a passion for boating(whether you own one or not), and would like to increase your boating knowledge, serve your country and fellow boaters, then the Coast Guard Auxilliary is for you! 

ALL are welcome to come to our meetings, meet some friendly people, and get involved!
