The Charter Boat Association is actively involved in educating members on issues affecting the charter industry. This carries over to the service which the members provide to the public when aboard a Michigan Charter Boat Association charter. The combination of the education and information provided to the MCBA members and the state inspection program insures that a trip on a Michigan Charter Boat Association member captain's vessel is a safe and enjoyable experience.
