Welcome to the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary's Channel Islands Harbor Flotilla (114-07-02) located in beautiful Oxnard, California.

We are the civilian uniformed volunteer component of the U.S. Coast Guard. The over-arching mission of the Auxiliary is to augment the Recreational Boating Safety Mission of the U.S. Coast Guard as well as assisting with the security of our citizens, ports, waterways and coastal regions. While we are not directly involved in military activities or law enforcement, members do participate in thousands of hours of support that directly supplements the Coast Guard’s Maritime Domain Awareness missions which include Harbor Patrols on the sea and in the air, Vessel Safety Examinations, Public Education on Boating Safety, Radio Communications, Search & Rescue and Marine Environmental Protection.

Our goal is to help make all on-the-water experiences safer for those who use America's waterways. In Ventura County you may see the Auxiliary on patrol in the Channel Islands Harbor (our home base), Ventura Harbor, off the coast, at public events, boat shows and in schools or even in the air. We welcome new Members, and encourage your participation. The Channel Islands Harbor Flotilla, was founded in 1957, and is one of the oldest Auxiliary units in the Nation. Flotilla 07-02 is within Ventura County and is a part of Division Seven of the Auxiliary's Eleventh District Southern Region. 

Membership in the Flotilla is open to men and women, 17 years or older, who are citizens of the United States. Facility (radio station, boat or aircraft) ownership is desirable but not mandatory. Meetings are held every third Thursday of the month at 19:00 hours in the U.S. Coast Guard Building, located at 4202 South Victoria Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93035.
