Our Mission is to make Boating safe and fun!
We provide boating education and foster social relationships among our members who live or do their boating from the western part of Monroe County to Great Sodus Bay and from the South Shore of Lake Ontario to the Northern parts of the Finger Lakes.
Most of us joined America's Boating Club Rochester to learn more boating skills but stayed for the friendships. Our club offers a variety of monthly events throughout the year like parties, picnics, historic tours, and general meetings at Genesee Yacht Club.
