BoatResponsibly The Anchor Bay Yachting Association (ABYA) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 1967. Our infrastructure is primarily located in the South East corner of the Great State of Michigan, in the Anchor Bay Region of Lake St. Clair, between Lake Huron and Lake Erie.

Our primary goals are to educate the boating community by encouraging clean and safe boating on our lakes, and to promote safety, charity, camaraderie and fellowship within our 25 member clubs.

The ABYA also represents over 7,000 individual members. During our monthly club sponsored meetings, we strive to discuss legitimate concerns related to boating, provide updates on pending legislation, and listen to guest speakers talk about a variety of boating related topics.

2018 Anchor Bay Yachting Association Safety Handbook

The ABYA Boater’s Safety Book is used by the Wayne, Macomb, and St Clair County Marine Sheriff Divisions as an educational tool when they stop boaters on the water. The booklet contains personal watercraft information, life jacket requirements, safe boating instructions, no wake zone information, and much more.
Since it is such an informative booklet, most boaters elect to keep it on board for reference. It is also handed out at boater safety classes that are conducted throughout the year by the Sheriff Marine Safety Officers.
More than 8,000 of these booklets will make their way into the hands of local boaters over the next three years.
