America’s Boating Club Atlanta is a boating club with activities focused on boating that is safe, smart and fun. ABCA members have access to some of the best resources available to recreational boaters. Whether you own a sail boat, a houseboat, a cruiser, a fishing boat, a ski boat, a pontoon boat, paddle craft or a personal watercraft, ABCA can enhance your boating experience. “Don’t own a boat? No problem. Other members bring the boats. I come for good times on the water!” Pam K.

ABCA offers free vessel safety inspections, introductory boating safety courses and an extensive curriculum of boating education courses. Members hold monthly raft-ups and other on-the-water events on Lake Lanier, in addition to annual cruises on major waterways. Finally, an active social calendar rounds out the activities for fun sharing times with others who love to boat. Chartered in February, 1954, ABCA is a part of America’s Boating Club and is one of almost 350 local clubs across the U.S.
