MTOA Cooperating Marinas

MTOA cooperating marinas know that you are a good transient customer. They want your business badly enough to offer substantial discounts just because you are an MTOA member. Consult the list of Marina Partners wherever you cruise. Don't forget to tell them that you stopped because they are a cooperating marina.

MTOA Port Captains

Port Captains are the true heroes of MTOA. They volunteer their time and knowledge of their local area to help MTOA members that are passing through with virtually any problem they may have. Need a starter repaired. Your Port Captain will know where to get it done and will probably drive you there. Provisioning or laundry, the same applies. You should probably carry a list of Port Captains whenever you cruise. You never know when a Port Captain can make your life so much easier.

MTOA ListServ

The sole purpose of the ListServ is to provide an effective method of communication for our members interested in learning more, and sharing information about, their interests in boating. The ListServ is designed to allow members to find other member boaters with whom to cruise, to share information about engines, mechanics, repair, marinas, anchorages and anything else of interest to their recreation.
