Welcome to the 10-13 Web
Site
Flotilla 10-13 was established on
May 28, 1969 and for the past 40 years has been
providing local communities in New York and Northern New
Jersey with boating safety classes, on water towing,
regatta ,safety and race support, search and rescue,
and recovery missions (275 patrols a year), free vessel
safety checks (over 700 a year), and free booklet and
information pamphlets for local marinas. During that
same time flotilla members have also logged countless
hours in many other operational and administrative
support missions in support of the local Coast Guard
Units at Activities New York, Station New York, and
Group Sandy Hook. In total our flitolla members have logged over 175,000
hours of volunteer service (just since 2001), in missions
supporting the boating public, the United States Coast Guard,
and the Department of Homeland Security.
Flotilla 10-13 is one of the most active
flotillas in the nation. We have been awarded the
Flotilla Meritorious Achievement Award given by the United
States Coast Guard to the best flotilla in the First District
Southern Region for 23 of the past 39 years. We have
also been honored by Boat/U.S. as the best flotilla in the
Nation for
2002 and again in
2004. There are 1200 Coast Guard Auxiliary flotillas
across the nation. No flotilla has ever won this award
twice, let alone twice in a 3 years time span. In
2009 our flotilla expended over 29,100 volunteer hours (the
most hours of any Flotilla in the nation) in support of
the United States Coast Guard, the Coast Guard Auxiliary,
the Boating Public and the Department of Homeland Security.
