It was 50 years ago that Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) got its start as the result of one man’s desire to make recreational boating better for boaters, sailors, and anglers.
To celebrate this milestone, the nation’s largest recreational boat owner advocacy, services and safety organization announced today the first in a series of local celebrations to say thanks to its over half million members.
The inaugural BoatUS “50th Anniversary Member Appreciation Event” will be held Wednesday, April 6 at Clearwater Yacht Club in Clearwater, FL, from 6:00PM-9:00PM. BoatUS President Margaret Bonds Podlich will host the informal, festive event with music, hors d’oeuvres and prizes – including a Star Clippers cruise for two. “It’s a way to gather and thank our BoatUS members for their continued support over the years, and to get with other boaters to talk boating,” said Podlich. Local TowBoatUS Captains will also attend.
Additional celebrations will be announced soon. The events are open to BoatUS members as well as any friends of the association. All event details and history information is posted at our
website.
