The Boat Owners Association of The United States, better known as BoatU.S., is an American association of boat owners offering various services [1] and recreational boat and trailer towing activities. Among their services are boat insurance and boat loans, discounts on boating-related products and services, mediation services with manufacturers and dealers, a product recall alert registry, and lobbying organization on behalf of boat owners [2]. The organization is based in Alexandria, Virginia and promotes itself “the nation’s largest recreational boating association.” [3].
BoatU.S. also gave rise to the organization that would be eventually called the BoatU.S. Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that promotes safe boating and environmentally responsible boating practices and BoatU.S. ANGLER, a version of BoatU.S. with benefits tailored for fishermen.
