boating community

Watercraft enthusiast group

A boating community is the social network of people who share an interest in recreational boating—sailors, yacht owners, marina regulars, and enthusiasts who gather around harbors and waterways.

The term emphasizes shared culture and connections: The boating community rallied to help after the hurricane.

It can also refer to a residential development built around water access, with docks and boat slips as central amenities.
