Cruising with STYC

We welcome All to our club cruising program. Regardless of boat length, mast height, anchor road, keel depth, crew position or able body. This includes non-members/guests, and even those “non-sailors” types. We believe, and wholeheartedly Encourage, every sailing opportunity as a continual learning encounter. For everyone. Just think of the absurdly, amusingly and eccentrically social encounters you too could experience from a bunch of US sailors in prime action mode.


We are always, repeat ALWAYS looking for volunteers!!! Typically, it is easy simple tasks once at the cruise location such as set-up and take down.  Please feel free to reach out to our cruise director Kristina at Cruise@styc.org for more information. New idea’s & hot tips are also always welcome!
