Better boaters feel more confident on the water, at the helm, and in the company of other boaters. They're boaters who boat more, boat more safely, and have more fun.
When you join America’s Boating Club®, you’re joining a community that was built For Boaters, By Boaters®. Whether your passion is cruising, sailing or paddling, your local club has the resources to help you engage your passions – and perhaps instill some new ones!
Our members provide free vessel safety checks, provide valuable local knowledge and port information through our Port Captains program, and work in partnership with local emergency organizations in rescue operations through our SERAT programs.
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.
