USCG Auxiliary Marco Announces New Flotilla Commander

Joseph A. Riccio was elected and sworn in as Flotilla Commander of USCG Auxiliary Flotilla 95, Marco Island on Wednesday, March 20, 2024. Riccio recently served as Flotilla Commander in 2022 and returns to a familiar role with a passion and a mission to enhance boater safety through education within the Marco Island Community. 

Flotilla 95 was established in 1967 on Marco Island, and since then has graduated thousands of students, provided thousands of complimentary vessel exams, and executed hundreds of boater safety missions in the Marco Community. Today our Flotilla 95 numbers 45 volunteer members, including 11 Certified Instructors, 10 Certified Vessel Examiners, and 3 USCG Certified “Facilities” (which are patrol available vessels). 

Flotilla 95 leads USCG Auxiliary Division 9, home to over 450 auxiliaries in 9 Flotillas in southwest Florida, in number of students graduated, vessels inspected, and partner visitation relationships.
