cruise schedule
Oakland Yacht Club hosts a full schedule of cruises. Generally, a cruise to another Bay Area yacht club is held every month. Each summer, the club has as week-long cruise to the Delta and a cruise to Monterey Bay. On especially popular weekends, cruises to two destinations are planned in order to accommodate the 20 to 50 boats that sign up.

Cruises are the best way for new members to get to know others and join in the fun. So if you're new to OYC, get your name on the list for the very next cruise!

If it has always been your desire to take off, this is one way to vicariously join a long-distance cruise and maybe see if it is really your cup of tea.
