Cruises

What’s a yacht club without cruises? Del Rey Yacht Club has a full schedule of annual cruises to many of Southern California’s local hot spots, including Avalon, Newport Beach, Long Beach, Emerald Bay and our own facility in Catalina Harbor. We are but one of a handful of clubs with our own outpost facility in Catalina, and we cruise to our secret treasure spot for more than three of our major summer events, Memorial Day Cruise, 4th of July Cruise and our Commodore’s Cruise over Labor Day weekend. Our members are welcome to use our Cat Harbor facility all year-round, as well as our moorings. Our Club also has many members who cruise nationwide and worldwide, and enjoy all the reciprocal privileges that belonging to DRYC will afford you. For a full Cruise Schedule, please see below:

**CRUISE UPDATE 6/11/20**

**Memorial Day Cruise**

Unfortunately, we must cancel the Memorial Day cruise to Cat Harbor because of the current pandemic situation. We continued to wait until the last minute to see if the situation would allow us to enjoy our DRYC fellowship but it has not. The key factor is, while Catalina Island has been opened up to limited use, our Cat Harbor facility is still closed. Ellie & I discussed trying to organize some type of “stay-at-home” Memorial Day cruise but because of the current restrictions & Club closure, there are no options for us.

**Father’s Day Cruise**

After discussing the situation with Joan Godfrey & David Stiller, Father’s Day Cruise Chairs, we have decided to cancel the Father’s Day Cruise because of the current situation that is also affecting Avalon. Even if the restrictions are loosened, there is not enough time to plan & execute the cruise. Suggestion to all of you mini-golf enthusiasts……practice in your living room!!

**July 4th Cruise**

Unfortunately because of the current LA County COVID-19 restrictions, which include the closure of our Cat Harbor facility, we must cancel this year’s official July 4th Cruise. We hope everyone will still have a safe & enjoyable holiday weekend.

**NOTE: JULY 3-4, 2020 – TWO HARBORS 4TH OF JULY FESTIVITIES - THESE EVENTS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED**
