2012-2013 Commodore John & Robin Marshall, 2018 Commodore Dean & Barbara Russell, 2020-2021 Commodore Chris & Andrea Haro joined without boats and now skipper their own sailing or motor vessels—your journey could be next!
This land-based option will allow more members to share in our Catalina cruise, even without owning a boat.
Magic on the water
Imagine arriving in Catalina via private boat: dolphins racing alongside, wildlife up close, that thrill never fades. The goal of this program is to allow more members to experience that passage, even if their primary lodging is on shore.
Ride over on Molokai Girl or on Dean & Barbara’s 36’ Motor Vessel or one of the other boats in the SSYC fleet.
We will be able to take a number of members who are staying ashore, giving you a chance to enjoy the crossing, help pick up and secure a mooring, and take part in the on-the-water side of the cruise. It is a fun way to be “in the middle of it” under the watchful gaze of all those boats already snug on their moorings.
“This initiative is a great idea. In the past, we have strived to include non-boaters on members boats for cruises. We also encouraged members to drive to a cruise location and join in on the activities.
This initiative adds a whole new dimension for members to join in and experience the Avalon cruise itself. It will be an amazing, unforgettable time” ........ Dean S Russell, SSYC Staff Commodore
