Fun on the Water!

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • You operate a marina or boatyard and are dedicated to protecting the water you love—but you’re overwhelmed by complex regulations, worried about compliance, and struggling to stay ahead of frequent changes.
  • You manage a marine-related business and are finding it difficult to attract new and loyal customers, especially as your current clientele begins to age out.
  • You want to run a smarter, more efficient company but don’t know where to find reliable advice, education, and resources from people who understand the industry inside and out.
  • You spend countless hours working by the water but dream of having more time to actually enjoy it.

You’ve Come to the Right Place!

Our Mission

The Marine Recreation Association represents marinas, boatyards, and allied businesses throughout the Western U.S. and around the world. We fight for fair, practical, eco-friendly regulations in California—the epicenter of environmental policy.
