2026 Season Cruise Planning Evening - Friday 24th October
Published 01:00 on 21 Sep 2025
Starting at 8:00pm
Benfleet Yacht Club hold five or six organised cruises each year. Our cruising events are usually a great success and well attended. Typical events are:
- Easter weekend cruise - destination typically Queenborough
- Early May Bank Holiday cruise to Chatham Marina with BBQ
- Wine and Cheese event in Stangate Creek
- August Bank Holiday Cruise - destination varies to suit the tide times
- End of Season Cruise - destination typically Medway Yacht Club with meal
Rather than one person organise all events throughout the season, the Sailing Committee are seeking individuals / boat crews to be responsible for a single event.
With this approach, the work is not onerous: usual duties include: prepare advance advertising and boat participation list, booking the destination venue etc.
To make each event a success, we are seeking both existing cruising members and those wishing to take part for the first time to attend this Cruise Planning event and offer to host just one of the planned cruises for the 2026 season. This event is also a good opportunity to meet and have a drink with fellow BYC cruising members.
