Whether you’re an expert or just getting started, the DMV Boat Owners Association welcomes you. We offer classes, events, and meetups designed to help boaters build skills, connect with others, and enjoy life on the water. 🛥️
The DMVBOA is turning up the heat this year — and you’re invited to come aboard for the ride.
So grab your crew, throw on something that says “nautical but nice,” and let’s make some memories.
We’ll be joining Holly Acres on the Water and Prince William Marina as they co-host a joint boat show. 🛥️
