The Marine Retailer Association of the Americas is an association composed of boat dealers, marine parts and accessories vendors, and all those whose livelihood is affected by the retail marine industry in North America. This group has been looking out for the best interests of marine retailers and the boating public since 1971.

We are proud to offer great benefits to our members including: the representation of marine retailers' and the boating public's best interests in Washington, D.C.; MRAA specialized wholesale and retail insurance options through Norman Spencer; a number of profit-generating and cost-saving resources and advice; as well as the strength of a large and powerful membership comprised of your peers in the boating industry.

Our Board of Directors is comprised of 19 marine professionals representing 11 regions, which together comprise the entire United States of America and Canada. These board members volunteer their time to help to make the retail boating business the best that it can possibly be.

Being marine retailers ourselves, we can appreciate the importance of having a concerned, hard-working board looking out for the industry's best interests. With this in mind, we ensure that MRAA provides its members with everything that is needed to keep them on top of what is happening in the industry as well as ensuring that they have a number of programs to help better their businesses. This professional organization provides marine retailers with superior advice and is always watching out for their needs.

So, we encourage you to get involved! If you aren't yet a member, join! If you are a member but would like to have a greater impact, give your feedback or become involved with one of our working committees! If you are a member of the boating public, support your local MRAA dealer to ensure that you are doing business with a company that is in the know about what is happening in the boating world!
