Welcome to Mattapoisett Yacht Club Cruising Group. Our group is dedicated to members joining other members on all kinds of cruises throughout the Massachusetts and Rhode Island cruising areas. Cruises are rather free form; you are always free to join in at any point along the way or head off on your own when ever you wish. Join with other cruisers and you may find new interesting places to go, new things to see, and new sailing friends that you will enjoy hanging out with. If you have never cruised before, we'll be happy to help you get started.
This year we are making a special effort to reach out to power boaters. Cruising is much more about being in interesting places with interesting people, than how you got there.
For general questions about MYC Cruising, contact the Cruise Chairman, Ken Levitt at CruisingChair@MattapoisettYC.org.
Each individual cruise has an assigned Cruise Captain who is responsible for disseminating information to those who have expressed possible interest in participating and who is the clearinghouse for information passed between individual cruisers and the rest of the group. For questions about a specific cruise, contact that cruise's Cruise Captain.
Further details about each individual cruise can be obtained by clicking on the adjacent yellow cruise name on the left side of your screen.
If you are not a MYC member, but are considering joining, we'll be happy to have you along. Just pass on your contact information the the Cruise Chairman.

Cruise to local harbors to observe 4th of July fireworks displays .
Note 2021 fireworks are unpredictable due to Covid closures. Check back for updates the week before. The cruise always spends July 4th in New Bedford Harbor and fills in with other harbors as display dates become available both before and after the 4th of July. Cruisers will sail to neighboring harbors on subsequent days to view local fireworks displays throughout the period. Check back in June for a final schedule. |
