Cruising and the BQYC
Check out the BQYC Calendar for any planned cruises

With a fleet comprising power boats and sailboats of all sizes, and located within the protected waters of the Bay of Quinte, the BQYC is an ideal centre for cruising activity.

Going West, you can navigate the Murray Canal from Trenton to Brighton at Presqu'ile Bay, and once there, the whole of Lake Ontario awaits you.

Going East, you pass Sandy Cove (a super spot for lunch, or a comfortable overight if you are taking your time) and across Big Bay to Telegraph Narrows and on to Deseronto, with lots to explore along the way.

Then its South towards Picton, maybe taking a detour into Hay Bay, before turning East again into Adolphus Reach and past Glenora, ending up at Prinyer's Cove, claimed to be "a jewel among Bay of Quinte's achorages".

And all the way along, the shorelines are dotted with attractive little bays, coves, marinas, towns, sights to see and places to visit. It's sailing heaven in the Bay of Quinte!

And if that isn't enough, you can carry on East beyond the end of the Bay, to arrive at Kingston, the gatway to the famed Thousand Islands, and there spend many days sailing among the most interesting and attractive locations. Or you can go South, into the Lake, and visit our American neighbours in one of the many Clubs south of the border.

So whether you are just looking for a weekend away, or maybe going off for longer, there are countless destinations possible, all starting at the Bay of Quinte Yacht Club.

The BQYC Club Cruise

Club cruises are organised annually, involving both sail and power boats, seeking out the many attractive destinations along the Bay, often ending up at one of the marinas in the Thousand Islands. Various sociasl events are organised along the way, and the party spirit moves with the fleet as we sail towards this year's destination. And of course, individual members take their boats, sometimes in a small informal flotilla and sometimes just on their own, using the Club Cruise as a springboard to explore the waters of the Bay and further afield.	The 2006 Club Cruise took us to Prinyer's Cove, Waupoos and Gananoque. Many members used the week as a convivial start to their Summer getaway.	Food is served!
