Help Protect the Right to Cruise

The freedom to navigate, anchor, moor, and responsibly enjoy our public waterways cannot be taken for granted.

The Boaters’ Rights Advocacy Coalition works to educate boaters, engage with policymakers and regulatory agencies, and protect the rights of those who responsibly use our waterways.

Your support helps us monitor legislation and regulatory activity, support informed advocacy, provide credible resources to our members, and ensure the boating community has a strong voice when decisions affecting waterway access are being made.

Your contribution strengthens our collective voice and helps keep our waterways open, accessible, and welcoming for generations to come.

OUR MISSION

Educate 

We aim to educate and bring together all stakeholders—boaters, policymakers, and the public—to foster a deeper understanding of the responsible use of our waterways. 

Provide current and accurate information by making an easy-to-access library of the vast quantities of research and resources related to state statutes, waterway access, anchoring, mooring, water quality, economic data, navigation, and passage making for boaters, policy makers, and the public.
