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.

Shakedown Cruise is BACK!

The Shakedown Cruise was a great success!
A good time was had by all at Clinch Marina in Traverse City. Cookout/Potluck dinner Friday at the Marina, Sara Handy Downtown Farmers Market (read 9 Bean Rows pastries) Saturday morning followed by coffee and pastries in the boaters lounge, and perfect weather for dinner and camaraderie at Little Fleet Saturday evening followed by ice cream at Milk and Honey on the walk back to the marina. Several non-boating members joined in on the fun both days.
