Division 16

5th District Northern Region

The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is an all volunteer arm of the United States Coast Guard serving the boating public on the Jersey Shore. Operations are directed by United States Coast Guard Station Manasquan Inlet and United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Division 16.

Flotilla 16-05, originally chartered in Island Heights, New Jersey in 1966, has been located in Brick, New Jersey since 1980.  The Flotilla serves both Brick and Toms River, NJ and performs services such as conducting Safe Boating Classes, Vessel Safety Examinations, Maritime Observation Missions (formerly known as Safety Patrols) and Marine Dealer Visits around the Jersey Shore. The Flotilla also enjoys the fellowship of its members as well as the advanced training that is received via the Auxiliary Member Training Department.

Flotilla 16-05 is comprised of 30 very dedicated members, two patrol boats, fourteen boat crew members, twelve vessel examiners and five public education instructors. Specially trained members serve proudly at Coast Guard Station Manasquan Inlet and other Coast Guard Stations in the area, and the Atlantic Strike Team (AST) that supports the US Coast Guard’s National Strike Force (NSF) located at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ.

We are always looking for interested individuals to join us. You could find yourself saving lives, protecting the environment from polluters, guarding our shores from terrorists, training the boating public to boat safer and much more. That’s our job – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That's life in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. We don't just train. We train and perform.

We meet the 3rd Friday of each month at the Brick Township Municipal Bldg, 401 Chambers Bridge Rd, Brick, NJ. You are welcome to join us at any time. Please contact our staff at our Flotilla Email or call our Flotilla Phone: 732-701-7613 to make arrangements to attend our next meeting.
