Fleet 17 Boat Club

Fleet 17 Boat Club The Longest Active Social Boating Club on the Lower Fox River. Since 1994 on the beautiful lower Fox River in Illinois.

The Fleet 17 Boat Club, formed in the late 1980s, serves boaters of the Lower Fox River and the Chain'O'Lakes as they cross McHenry and Lake Counties in Northeast Illinois. If you're looking for some new friends with similar interests consider joining the Fleet 17 Boat Club. We're primarily a social club having yearly picnics, boating raft-ups, overnighters, and various other boating-related activ

ities. We are the sponsoring organization for the Venetian Night on the River every August. We also involve ourselves with the Waterway Management Agency and other regulatory agencies involved with making the Fox River and Chain'O'Lakes safe and enjoyable.
