About Michigan Charter Boat Association,Lansing Michigan

The Michigan Charter Boat Association (MCBA) is a nonprofit organization based in Michigan, dedicated to fostering a professional charter industry in the state. Our members are United States Coast Guard licensed for the Great Lakes, and all charter boats undergo state inspections, making Michigan the only state on the Great Lakes to mandate such inspections. Every year, the MCBA provides scholarships to individuals studying Fisheries Biology, supporting the next generation of experts dedicated to preserving and enhancing our Great Lakes fisheries. Our member captains are committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and safety in the charter industry.
