The Committee has a total of 17 event dates planned for the 2012 cruising season. We traditionally begin our year with a land/no-boats required cruise in January. This event is a welcomed winter expedition open to all. It is a perfect opportunity for our new members and their guests to join in. Of course our not-so-new members are also welcome to bring a friend. Come one – come all, the more the merrier!

Look for information on the Cruising Committee bulletin board located in the downstairs hallway of the main clubhouse . Additional information will also be posted to this web page as a link within the Cruising Schedule Posted below as more information becomes available.

For 2012, your Cruising Committee are presently considering a pilot test for on line registration through this web page for some of the cruise events. Stay tuned for further information. Registrations close approximately one week prior to each event start date of the cruise. 
During the week prior to each cruise you will receive a telephone call by the cruise event coordinator confirming your attendance.  Should slips become available during this time it your cruising coordinator will move into the waiting list to extend further invitations to maximize the cruise participation to fill all available slips at the cruise destination.

If you are new to PCYC Cruising and have any questions please feel free to contact us at cruising@pcyc.net.

Those who have cruised with us know the pleasures, camaraderie and new friendships the Cruises offer.

We’ll be there to catch your lines!
