Devotion to Duty Since 1976

Flotilla Awards

Founded in honor of the American Bicentennial, Flotilla 4-76 is dedicated to protecting the safety of Philadelphia’s waterways and those who use them. Whether by teaching safe boating classes, performing free vessel safety checks, or patrolling the waterfront, members of 4-76 are Semper Paratus for recreational boating safety. Flotilla 4-76 is the 5NR’s youngest and most diverse flotilla. Our members come from all walks of life but all are focused on one thing – carrying out the four cornerstones of our mission with excellence and professionalism.
