Cruising Club of Charleston
To Promote The Joy of Cruising and To Savor the Moment
Cruises
On the weekend following the first Thursday of each
month, the Cruising Club of Charleston hosts its monthly cruise.
This is the time for us to overnight on Saturday at different
locations around the coastal Charleston area. Examples of anchorage
sites are Sandy point (at the convergence of the Folly River and the
Stono River), Dewees Island, Moise Island, and Toogoodoo Creek.
All boats converge on a preannounced site in time for a cocktail party
at 5:00 pm. One boat each month serves as the “host boat” and has
free adult beverages for all attending. Each boat brings hor
d’oeuvres to share.
Following the cocktail hour (which is loosely defined), everyone returns
to his or her own boat for dinner and the evening. Breakfast is
also in individual activity, with boats exiting the anchorage at
different time to return to their home ports. A good
time is enjoyed by all!
Social Activities
Of course, heading this list are the cocktail hours held during the
Cruising Club of Charleston’ monthly cruises. However, we also
have additional social activities:
Each December we have a Christmas Dinner Party with turkey, ham, open
bar and all the fixings. The evening is topped off with our
famous “Pirate Gift Swap”, a fun event.
In February, we stay on land for a traditional Low Country Oyster Roast
and in March, our Annual Installation of Officers Dinner.
Each September, we have our annual “Luau” dinner – complete with Mai Tai
and the Pig! In recent times, both the Luau and the Low Country Oyster
Roast have been held at locations that are accessible by water or land.
