Welcome to TMCA
Texas Mariners Cruising Association is a nonprofit social club in the Clear Lake area of Houston, TX. Our members have power boats, sailboats, or are "in between" boats. Our activities include cruises of all types: one day, weekend, or extended cruises. They can be geared for power, sail, or both. We also have small boat excursions or dinghy regattas. And certainly no boating organization would be complete without social activities!
These range from dock parties, themed parties or parties in conjunction with our cruises. We also offer great educational opportunities where you can sharpen your boating skills. If you have a boat ~ or are thinking about a boat, if you're a novice boater ~ or experienced boater, TMCA is for you! Come join us!
Commodore's Message
At the Helm
We have a diverse group with diverse interests and a variety of boating opportunities in our area, along the Gulf coast and around the world. This week several of our members traveled south to Port Aransas, while others are in Florida. Some are traveling in Spain, Greece, and Italy and with today’s technology, I’m able to share in their travels through messages and pictures. I can experience different water, scenery, and architecture without even being there. Of course, it’s not the same as being there, but it’s a virtual adventure that I wouldn’t have if not for my TMCA friends. Just one more benefit I have gained from our boating family.
