Membership, Advertising, Supporting the PGBA
Our Purpose and Bylaws
The purpose of The Boaters Alliance is to promote and enhance boating and the boating industry in The Punta Gorda/Charlotte Harbor area. We envision The City of Punta Gorda and Charlotte harbor as the heart of recreational boating and the boating industry in Southwest Florida. We encourage the respect of boating/ as well as promote proper and environmentally sound use of the waterways. The Punta Gorda Boaters Alliance will engage in and promote civic projects which foster a wider understanding appreciation of boating.
Alliance Memberships
Membership is open to area boating clubs, organizations and marine oriented businesses. Individuals should be a member of a boating club, as voting is done by a representative or an alternate representative only.
Yearly dues of $75 is invoiced to each club in January of each year.
- Each club or organization is required to appoint a representative member and an alternate representative, which will be listed in the PGBA roster.
- These individuals will receive periodic emails with news, minutes and the President’s monthly message.
- Boaters Alliance takes on projects throughout the year, it is hoped that these representatives will also be involved with project committees and tasks.
PGBA is an “alliance”, intended to be a source for marine information that can be disseminated by a few to many. It seeks to have a voice in the local marine community – and to do that our members, our passionate boating organizations, need to be involved.
Marine Industry Memberships
Marine-oriented businesses are invited to join Punta Gorda Boaters Alliance. As we encompass the entire Charlotte Harbor waterway, not just Punta Gorda, PGBA seeks to be a voice to not only boaters but also businesses that support boaters.
Yearly dues for business members is $75, invoiced in January of each year and payable on receipt.
Other sponsoring / advertising opportunities exist on the PGBA website. PGBA offers businesses additional recognition that can help highlight a sponsor to area and visiting boaters.
PGBA promotes our website to area tourism sources, cruising networks and state/local governments. Not an “ad-click” type of advertising, your support of the Alliance shows that you care about promoting the marine industry in the community.
