Texas Mariners Cruising Association
The Largest Boating Club on the Gulf Coast
Established 1979
Texas Mariners Cruising Association is a nonprofit boating 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!
Welcome to TMCA—where the water brings us together and the friendships run deep. Whether you’re joining us for a relaxing cruise, a lively dock party, or one of our special events, you’ll quickly discover that this club is about more than boats. It’s about shared experiences, learning from one another, and enjoying the freedom and fun that life on the water offers.
Our cruises are designed for all experience levels, our dock parties are legendary for good conversation and laughter, and our special events give us a chance to celebrate the season, the camaraderie, and the spirit of boating. We encourage you to jump in, get involved, and make this club your own. The more you participate, the more rewarding the experience becomes.
We’re glad you’re here—let’s make some great memories on the water together.
