Welcome to the Home of AMI's National Marina Day Celebration!
In 1928, the word "marina" was used, for the very first time, by the National Association of Engine and 
Boat Manufacturers to define a recreational boating facility. Since then, marinas have become an integral part not only of American recreation, but also American life. National Marina Day 2008 celebrates not only the rich history of the marina industry, but its bright future as well.
Mission and Method
The goal of National Marina Day is the education of politicians, civic leaders and the public about the important role the marina industry plays in cities and towns across the nation as family-friendly gateways to boating and stewards of the environment.
This goal is achieved through the promotion of nationwide marina focused events with local flavor that educate politicians, civic leaders, and the public about the 
value of the marina industry to cities and towns across America. Make plans today to support this mission by planning a National Marina Day event at your facility.
New in 2009
This year AMI has partnered with the National Youth Marine Alliance for Preserve America's Waterways. This is an effort to bring children to marinas to conduct facility clean-ups and learn more about the value of our waterways and our industry. For more information click here.
