2026 Cruising
Members who own or lease a sailboat or power boat plan trips together visiting Pacific Northwest (U.S. and Canadian) ports. Members enjoy boating, socializing and exploring new locations. Generally, planned cruises vary from South Sound to the San Juans to Canada and beyond. Members and guests are welcome to join all or part of the scheduled cruise and do their own extensions prior or afterwards. Reach out to Jim and Kathy Rogers if you want to be added to the Cruising Interest Group and receive the most recent information and updates. Leaders also welcome and appreciate cruising crew volunteers to help with the planning and on the trips.
We have five 2026 cruises planned. Typically we have cruises lined up between May and September with more spontaneous getaways throughout the year. Keep an eye on our calendar and scroll all the way down this page for more detailed information on each cruise. At the bottom, click on the calendar event information on making your reservations to join the cruises.
Don’t own a boat? Meet the cruisers at a destination where there are lodging accommodations and join in the socializing. Or just come join us at one of the ports for dinner.
Our club has a reciprocal slip in Langley. We ask that our cruise members help defray some of the cost with an annual Reciprocal Slip Fee. You may pay that fee Online.
