To strengthen and unify the voice of recreational boating, the Government Affairs Department often joins forces with other influential groups like:

• Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA)
• National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA)
• National Safe Boating Council (NSBC)
• U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCGA)
• U.S. Coast Guard: National Boating Safety Advisory Council (NBSAC)
• United States Power Squadrons (USPS)
• U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service: Sport Fish & Boating Partnership Council (SFBPC)
• Department of Interior: "Made in America" Outdoor Recreation Advisory Committee

BoatUS also works very closely with industry organizations including:

• American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC)
• American Sportfishing Association (ASA)
• Association of Marina Industries (AMI)
• Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway Association (AIWA)
• Marine Retailers Association of the Americas (MRAA)
• National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA)
• States Organization for Boating Access (SOBA)
