Safe Boating Is Our Goal

We encourage members to abide by recognized
boating traditions, etiquette and local regulations. 
A high amateur standard of skill in the handling and
navigation of powerboats is our goal. Proof of boat
insurance is mandatory for every NIOC on-water event.

 
More Than A Boat Club

Mother nature hands us a short boating season!
But with monthly NIOC events, you will always
have a fellow boater to hang out with!
NIOC hosts monthly off season events such
as the Chicago Boat & RV show trip,
a coordinated snowmobile trip, Train Crawl Poker Run,
Chili Cook-off, Twilight Bowling Bash.

And in between all that we try to attend all of the local poker runs. 

 And let us not forget to mention the coordinated
Lake Of The Ozarks and Key West Florida trips.

There is always something to do!!
