Why Should You Care About the Future of Recreational Boating in California?

Networking – Connect with industry leaders, legislators, and peers.

Education – Stay informed about policies and regulations affecting your business.

Advocacy – Ensure your voice is heard in shaping the future of boating.

The annual California Boating Congress, a two-day policy conference focused on legislative and regulatory impacts on marine, boating, waterway, and recreation industries, is scheduled for May 27-28, 2025 in Sacramento, California.  The conference is steps away from California’s State Capitol and will feature lawmakers, policymakers, and statewide elected officials who will share their views on issues facing marinas, boating, and water recreation.

“The impact of the California Boating Congress goes beyond sharing two-days in Sacramento advocating for our respective industries,” said Arron Pellarin, president of the Marine Recreation Association, a co-host of the event. “Our work in and around the State Capitol is an industry-unified voice to make real impact on legislation and regulations that will negatively impact our businesses.  The CBC is the foundation of that work.”

The CBC kicks-off on the afternoon of Tuesday, May 27 with policy sessions and networking opportunities for attendees.  On Wednesday, May 28, attendees will hear from state legislators and top regulators on issues such as abandoned vessels, challenges with securing insurance for marinas and vessels, California Air Resources Board regulations, and an economic outlook for the state’s marine and waterways industry.

Our industry’s voice is needed now more than ever in California.  Join us for the California Boating Congress to help shape legislation and regulations that are facing you and your business.
