IN BAY CRUISE WEEK - 2023
Cruise In Narragansett Bay with the Bristol Yacht Club!
Due to popular demand for a short-range cruise we have created a second week-long cruise that stays within Narragansett Bay. Join fellow BYC members on either a two-day cruise over Victory Day weekend or for the entire week. Overnights will be in Wickford, Newport, Dutch, East Greenwich and Kickemuit. Port activities such as potlucks or restaurant dinners are being planned. More information will be available in the coming weeks. Detailed information about the cruise is available in the BYC In-Bay Guide (Download). Contact: Steve Barron with any questions or for further information.
​
DEADLINE TO REGISTER: Friday, July 14 BUT......
Boaters planning to join the cruise are strongly encouraged to register and make mooring/slip reservations asap. This will allow the cruise organizers to plan ahead more effectively and ensure that everyone wanting a mooring/slip gets one. Thank you for your prompt registration.
