Boating organizations are groups that promote and support recreational boating activities. They often provide resources, training, and safety information to boaters. These organizations may also advocate for policies that protect waterways and promote responsible boating practices. Many boating organizations offer membership benefits, such as discounts on equipment, insurance, and access to events. They may also host educational programs and workshops to teach skills like navigation and maintenance. Examples of such organizations include the United States Power Squadrons and the American Boating Association.
