America's Boating Club Grand Traverse Bay

A boating club with activities all year long, from the Shakedown Cruise in June through the Cruise of the Bay in September to our monthly winter dinner meetings, there is always something happening.

We offer boating classes through Extended Education Services of Northwestern Michigan College that range from a basic boating course for the Michigan Boating Safety Certificate, to advanced classes.

Lobster Bake 2024 A Smashing Success

Lobster Bake 2024 was a smashing success! Over 70 America's Boating Club members from around the state attended the Saturday evening lobster and prime rib dinner and more than 50 were at the hamberger picnic Friday. As always, the lobster and prime rib were cooked to perfection by grill master Brian. Many thanks to Brian and Donna and the entire Lobster Bake Committee for putting on another guaranteed good time.
Next year's Lobster Bake is the weekend of August 8th and 9th.

eQuality Cruise 2024 in the Books

This year's eQuality Cruise was on Lake Michigan. As it have been for the past several years the eQuality Cruise was held in conjunction with the Great Lakes Cruising Club's anual Rendezvous. So there were two starting locations, one was Escanaba for those leaving from the GLCC Rendezvous and the other was home ports. The two met in Frankfort on July 20 and continued down the shoreline of Michigan as far as Pentwater then returned to Grand Traverse Bay stoping at different ports on the way back. Ten boats participated in at least part of the cruise with several boats doing the entire route. All agree it was a great event and are looking forward to next year's cruise in the North Channel.
