SMBC Membership Information
The St. Marys Boat Club (SMBC) offers a supportive and friendly environment to all boaters, especially sailboat owners. The SMBC is open to new members and it is a family-friendly club.
Membership Benefits
- Clubhouse Facilities: Full kitchen, lounge areas, showers, storage, campsites with water and electricity, boat hoist and miscellaneous equipment for boat care.
- Docks: SMBC offers both docks on the water and dry docks.
- Supportive Fellowship: SMBC's members are supportive of boat owners and the challenges of boat ownership, repairs and maintenance and sailing and racing opportunities. Not all members participate in the racing events, so the Club offers many other opportunities for fun boating activities.
