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 Another Big Success

Shakedown Cruise 2025 was a huge success. Friday evening Brian grilled hamburgers for everyone and there were lots delicious potluck dishes and some wonderful desserts including Nancy's artful cake pops, what a treat.

Saturday, we gathered at Little Fleet for great camaraderie, people watching, food, and drink.

Thanks to organizers Tom and Jan Stone for making the Shakedown Cruise another resounding success.

A good time was had by all. (It was guaranteed!)
