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
According to a recent article, Clear Lake is the third-largest pleasure boat basin in the nation and Texas ranks sixth in the U.S. for registered recreational boaters. I think any of us that take our boats out on a weekend can agree with that by the number of boats making their way through the channel out to the bay. There is no better way to enjoy the hot days of summer than being on the water, and in Texas, summer extends into September. We’re fortunate to be able to boat practically year ‘round, but you don’t have to own a boat to participate in TMCA activities.
