The Algonac Boat Show has been cancelled

Due to the shut down of all social gatherings by the State of Michigan and Federal Government and to prevent the spread of the Covid-19, we have put the health of the public, members and volunteers above all other concerns.
This was a difficult decision -but due to this Pandemic and everyone concerns, we recongnize that this is the appropriate decision. Please stay safe- practice social distancing, stay healthly and wash your hands. We can pull through this together.
NEXT YEAR SHOW WILL BE BIGGER AND BETTER AND WE WILL HAVE A REASON TO CELEBRATE!- STAY SAFE!

For cruisers needing hookup and overnight accommodations, arrangements must be made with the marina harbormaster. There is a fee. If you plan on docking Friday, the docking committee will try to put you in the slip you will have Saturday.
