Cruising in Company

As ever, cruising in company is at the heart of what we do, and we are planning an exciting series of cruises for 2025.   The Poole Yacht Club Cruising Section cruises go live and open for bookings in late January 2025. See HERE

Cruising on trips arranged by PYCCS, is organised and led by the participating skippers.  We make the bookings and advise the marina of boats that have booked and circulate boat and contact details to those that have asked to go.  As the trip approaches we send out some general briefing information to help with passage planning.  It is then up to the skippers to sort out details and their own passage plan.  A few days before the cruise we can arrange a meeting for participating skippers to discuss arrangements for the cruise. We also suggest skippers meet up on the night before the cruise at the Yacht Club  – to agree the leaving time, decide if the weather is suitable, and trip contact channel for the cruise etc.

After you have made your booking, members of the PYC Cruising Section are always available to support and answer any questions that skippers may have – especially from those less experienced or more apprehensive skippers.  As well as the information briefing notes this may be about passage planning or with additional navigational or pilotage tips.

If you find that you may not be able to do the full trip then as long as you let us know the parts you can do we will arrange this for you with the marinas we book you in. Surely something for everybody.  Hopefully we have put together a great programme so get booking as soon as you can. The deposit paid will be refundable if you attend the cruise, the deposit also gets you booked on the cruise as soon as it’s paid into the PYCCS account. Remember to pay when booked, it’s first come first served on payment, not just booking!!!
