A message from the Commodore

Welcome to St. Marys Boat Club
For more than 75 years, St. Marys Boat Club has been a relaxed home on Grand Lake St. Marys for people who love being on or near the water. From sailboats and powerboats to pontoons, kayaks, and canoes (not to mention the plethora of onshore activities such as the comfortable clubhouse and camping) you will find a community that enjoys boating and community in all its forms.​

Membership has grown steadily in recent years, and there is a real sense of momentum around the club. If you are looking for a friendly place to launch, tie up, and connect with fellow boaters, you are invited to visit and see what makes our club special.​
