City Island Yacht Club (CIYC) sits at the confluence of the East River/New York Harbor and Long Island Sound providing strategic access to a variety of cruising destinations and experiences. The CIYC Cruising Committee is pleased to offer several cruises and seminars during the 2024 season. Cruises are generally held over a weekend to enjoy the attractions of the planned destination and often coordinated with members from nearby Harlem Yacht Club.
We would love to have you join us for one or more of this year’s cruises and seminars.
Participants can register on our Eventbrite club page or check the club calendar for details and updates.
