LAKE HAVASU CITY – Over the past 30 years, the Lake Havasu Marine Association (LHMA)has provided a clean and safe boating environment for boaters in the community.

LHMA was recognized by the Western States Administer Association for their impressive commitments regarding boat safety education in 2013. The following year, the association achieved 501-C-3 status and was approved as a non-profit organization.
Aside from their ongoing mission to promote safe a healthy lake and beach area, LHMA helps boaters with their Designated Captain program, designed to eliminate intoxicated boat operators. This is a service that is much needed especially for holiday weekends.
