What is Cruz Club ?
Cruz Club is a 12 month program designed to help equip would-be cruisers who are inspired to set off exploring the world by sea but don’t yet have the skills, experience or a boat to do it on and want to get prepared and do it right and avoid making costly mistakes along the way.
We provide training, regular access to a production catamaran and ongoing coaching and support to prepare you for cruising on your own boat.
We are limiting memberships to just 5 or 6 per boat to ensure members get plenty of time onboard.
Inclusions
Training
To join Cruz Club, firstly you need to undertake a 5 day live aboard training program onboard one of our late model Seawind cruising catamarans to gain Day Skipper accreditation.
Monthly Boat Use
Graduates from this training will then be exclusively offered a 12 month membership to Cruz Club that includes 3 days and 2 nights a month of private access to our club catamaran, allowing you to take your family out and introduce them to the delight of live aboard sailing, but with the back up and safety of a charter operation and qualified skippers.
Weekly Racing
Furthermore, each week the members can jointly race in our friendly afternoon fleet race with a skipper onboard to help continue coach the group and hone their sailing skills so you understand how to get the best performance from your catamaran. You will also join a community of budding cruisers including not only other Cruz Club members, but other boat owners who have plenty of experience to share.
All marina fees, insurance, maintenance costs, and yearly haul out fees are included in your monthly membership fees.
