Cruising and Sailing
Cruising and Sailing

The Cape Fear Yacht Club (CFYC) welcomes power and sail boat owners of all skill levels, boat sizes, and boat types (trawler, multihull, motor yacht, center console, sport cruiser, sail, etc.) to join in our cruising adventures.

Each year, all interested boaters meet to prepare and plan the upcoming boating season schedule. It varies from year to year, but be assured that the cruises never dissappoint, or at least there is always a good story to tell! 

We welcome non-cruising club members to meet the boats at their land destinations for local activities and dockside happy hours.
