Fee $10 per boat

This is a hop on - hop off cruise, you may plan to take on any part or all of it. We hope you will want to lead an activity at one of the sites and participate in Happy Hour Celebrations. Fly your Burgee Proudly!!

Marinas will not be holding places for SNSYC boats based on this itinerary as they would for a regular Rendezvous. So make your personal registrations early when you decide the parts of the cruise that you wish to join.

We invite you to join a WhatsApp communication group using your cell phone for text messages to keep the Cruise members connected. WhatsApp has been a valuable communication tool for past cruises.

There is no additional fee for guests, the $10 supports your event registration.

We will collect some information on the Registration Form to follow.
