America's Boating Club® is a nationwide boating organization that was founded in 1914. We learn together, boat together, and help each other and other boaters on the water and on land. Our members and their families learn boating skills, engage with boating friends, and connect with the boating community on the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers and the lakes in eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

For example, there are substantial discounts available for boat, health and travel insurance, reduced costs for marine services from companies like Sea Tow and DANBOATER, transactional discounts from vendors like Office Depot, and even savings on rental cars, education classes and hotel stays.
