Click on the Cruising Calendar link in the menu above to see all the planned upcoming cruises. All you need is a cruising boat and the desire to join others to the chosen destination. 

The BBSA Cruising Fleet Captain updates the calendar as cruises are added, changed, or canceled. You can click on the Register button to register for a cruise. Once you are registered you will receive an email confirmation and you will receive an automated email reminding you of the upcoming cruise a week or so before it takes place.  Or you can still call or email the Cruise Captain to RSVP. 

All the events, including cruises that you register for are tracked in your profile. Click on your name after you log in to see your profile. All cruises are also announced in the Banter newsletter. 

Most cruises are planned at the Cruise Kick-off Party at the first of the year. Additional cruises are often added during the sailing season. Please contact the Cruising Fleet Captain with any changes or additions so the Calendar can be updated.
