blk BOATERS of South Florida is an initiative to organize opportunities to network for black boaters. Our scheduled events provide unique opportunities to connect with fellow boaters, both seasoned and new, in order to share experiences, resources, and best practices. We look forward to meeting you soon as we tune out the world and fully immerse ourselves in the wonderful world of boating, networking, and taking advantage of the many benefits offered by the salt water and the vitamin D from the sun.
