To learn more about our flotilla, please visit our website at https://www.cgauxchicago.com. Team Coast Guard is composed of an active-duty force of 41,000 men and women, augmented by the 8,000-member Coast Guard Reserve, the 32,000-strong all-volunteer Coast Guard Auxiliary, and a civilian workforce of 5,500. As a unit of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla 35-06 Chicago consists of nearly 30 memb
ers from the greater metropolitan Chicago area. We actively patrol Chicago area waterways and regularly meet with the boating public at marinas and in classrooms. Since 2003, Flotilla 35-06 has been recognized as one of the most active flotillas in its division, providing public educational programs, vessel safety checks, and assisting the U.S. Coast Guard in non-law enforcement programs such as safety patrols, search and rescue, and marine environmental protection. As the volunteer component of the U.S. Coast Guard, we directly support all of its missions except direct military and law enforcement actions. We also serve side-by-side with active duty and reserve members of Coast Guard Station Calumet Harbor (located along the Lake Michigan shoreline at 98th Street in Chicago) and the Chicago Marine Safety Station located at the Chicago River Controlling Locks near Chicago's Navy Pier. Individuals or groups interested in recreational boating safety are invited to take advantage of our educational programs, free vessel safety checks, or even explore becoming a member of our flotilla. Flotilla 35-06 Chicago meets at 7 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of every other month at the Chicago Police Department - 1st District Station, 1718 S. State Street, in Chicago's South Loop neighborhood. Visitors are welcome, but please contact us for more information.
