Children's Cruise - August 23-26
Join us for the first ever RYC Children's Cruise! This is a week for the kids --- bring your kids and grandkids for a fun-filled itinerary onland and water. For your on-board grandchild, why not buy an RYC hat with your boat name on the back! Click here for more information.)
The Children's Cruise is planned for four days starting on Sunday August 23rd --- and can continue for those interested through Thursday or Friday (for a 5th or 6th day).
Our focus will be on creating a cruise filled with varied and interesting activities for the children. Sailing times between ports will be limited to three or four hours --- with plenty of time for morning activities and afternoon exploration in each of the interesting ports.
We are open to additional ideas, so let us know what you think might be fun. RYC members and their children and grandchildren will join together in this multi-generational sailing adventure.
