I’d rather be cruising!

Members of the Port Credit Yacht Club have enjoyed cruising together since the very early days. Not everyone is a
racer and it’s another fantastic way to enjoy the boat and meet fellow members. While a Cruising Program has been
part of PCYC for many years, the program was revitalized in the early 2000s under the enthusiastic leadership of John
and Margaret Williams. Today, PCYC cruises are so successful and well attended that if you don’t get to the sign-up
sheet quickly, you miss out!! Unlike our Racing program that has virtually unlimited capacity to welcome new
participants, our cruising program must limit itself to the capacity constraints of each cruising destination. In 2010,
98 boats participated in cruising events. Events start in January with a land cruise to Casino Niagara and finish with
the Thanksgiving Cruise. The highlight is always the fantastic pot luck party which often continues on into the night.
Treasured memories and lasting friendships are the best part of cruising with PCYC.

Cruisers enjoy one and other’s company
