About America’s Boating Club Grosse Pointe

 

America’s Boating Club Grosse Pointe is a nonprofit boating organization committed to helping boaters enjoy the water safely and with confidence. We bring together boaters of all experience levels through practical education, meaningful service, and shared experiences on and off the water. Our members don’t just learn boating skills — they gain confidence, build lasting friendships, and become part of a trusted, safety-focused community.

 

We offer boating classes and seminars throughout the year that build real-world knowledge and practical skills. Whether you are new to boating or advancing your abilities, our programs help you boat smarter and safer.

 

Service is at the heart of what we do. Our members conduct Vessel Safety Checks in partnership with the United States Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary. We support life-jacket loaner programs for children, participate in America’s Waterway Watch, assist with the Port Captain Program, and actively promote National Safe Boating Week. We believe safer waterways benefit everyone.

 

From summer cruises and rendezvous to fall and winter classes, meetings, and social events, our club remains active throughout the year.

 

Serving the Grosse Pointe communities since 1939, we are part of America’s Boating Club® / United States Power Squadrons®, a respected national nonprofit boating education organization founded in 1914. If you value safety, learning, and camaraderie, we invite you to join us on the water.
