Day Cruises & Events
Day cruises and yachting events are a gigantic part of the Admiral’s Cove Yacht Club season. Each cruise and event is pre-scheduled in the Admiral’s Cove season calendar.
The cruises are set up to include all vessels in the Fleet, both large and small, and include our important members who wish to drive to the chosen venue. We always persuade our boaters to invite crew to better enjoy the yachting experience. Fleet Captain Bruce Ferguson’s main duty is to organize all cruises and events. He selects the venue and events, plans the trips, communicates trip and event details to the membership, coordinates slip reservations at the marinas, and handles member attendance and sign-up. As always guests are welcomed.
An e-mail invitation is sent out to the members 3 weeks in advance allowing members to plan their attendance and invite guests.20Fleet Information is sent to all Captains several days prior to every cruise. This information lists each vessel, Captain, number of crew members and vessel size to provide for Captain’s to flotilla together as they chose and the marina to plan our arrival and pre-assign slips.
