NACO is a national association
of charterboat owners
and operators formed in 1991, representing thousands
of individuals across the United States. Our membership includes marine
charters who provide fishing, sailing, diving,
eco-tours, and other excursion vessels who
carry passengers for hire. We are the premiere
Association that represents charter boat interests.
Our objective is to improve the professional
charter boat operator's bottom line and to provide
a strong voice in Washington, DC.
NACO
is a membership driven association that is successful
because of the overwhelming industry experience
shared by our Board of Directors, Executive
Director and Regular Membership. Our twenty-three
Board Members consist of experienced licensed
captains, who are actively involved in their
local areas. Our new Executive Director's family
pioneered charter fishing off the coast of Alabama 5 generations ago and she is still
actively involved in the business. This gives
NACO the unique ability to be directed by industry
professionals and experts. It is also extremely
beneficial to have these seasoned professionals
representing and speaking on NACO's behalf before
Congress and Regulatory Agencies.
NACO
was formed out of a need to fight costly government
regulations that were crippling our industry.
Over the years NACO has succeeded in saving
the charter boat industry millions of dollars
and prevented excessive and time-consuming reporting.
NACO has always proactively worked for the best
interests of our industry.
