Located in the southwest corner of New York state, Chautauqua Lake is the recreational center for members from northwest Pennsylvania as well as western New York. As a group of boating enthusiasts in the Southern part of New York State and Northern Pennsylvania, the Chautauqua Lake Twin Tier Chapter of ACBS gets together to share our love of boats and boating. Some of us own antique or classic boats…others just appreciate them. In any case, we invite you to become a member and enjoy fun and fellowship.

We plan monthly “Cruise-in” events throughout the summer at various locations. These gatherings are fun for the participants and offer a chance for the public to see the members’ vintage boats.
Our members enjoy learning and sharing new ideas, servicing, buying and selling vintage boats and just showing off their boats in both judged and non-judged events. We hope you’ll check us out and join the fun of ACBS and the Chautauqua Lake Twin Tier Chapter. Learn more at: https://cltt-acbs.org/contact-us/.


My grandparents lived on Chataqua Lake near Bemus Point and I spent many summers there. It’s where I fell in love with classic wooden runabouts– the neighbor 2 docks down had a Chris Craft. What a beautiful setting for ACBS gatherings!
I would love to cruise the lake again in my boat, but it’s a bit of a haul from Seattle.
