Cruising in Company

The ethos behind Cruising in Company is to encourage and support cruisers in discovering and rediscovering destinations while enjoying the social aspects of cruises.

Approximately 10 cruises are arranged each season, the first being a shake down visit to a nearby destination, for example this year is Titchmarsh Marina.

Berths and places for dinner are booked in advance to avoid disappointment and as we sometimes have as many as 20 yachts and 40 people a bit of organisation is helpful to our destinations.The average cruise probably has 8 - 10 yachts and 20 crew.

All are welcome to join in both the cruising and the dinners, with our pre cruise dinners proving very popular as a 'meet' for Club members so much so that sometimes only half are Cruise in Company attendees! (Please note there is not a pre-cruise meal for either of the Family Cruises.)
