At the Cruising Association we’re passionate about inspiring a love for the sea, promoting boating activities, and strengthening connections among our club members and friends.

Our goal is to share cruising experiences and knowledge while highlighting the exceptional cruising grounds of South Australia and beyond.

Sail Together, Grow Together
We offer a friendly, inclusive community where yacht and powerboat enthusiasts can enjoy a variety of events, from Cruise in Company weekends which promote camaraderie, safety, and enjoyment on the water, to theme based BBQ night for the enjoyment of members, family and friends

Events + Cruise Planner
The Cruising Association maintains an ongoing schedule of social events and seeks opportunities to support broader CYCSA events and community celebrations. 

All members and their guests are welcome, so introduce yourself and get involved.

Past events and future plans include:

• ‘Cruising in Company’ events to Port Vincent and/ or Kangaroo Island arranged for most long weekend/ holiday periods.
• Reciprocal social events with other cruising associations.
• ‘Solo Sail in Company’ single handed cruise experience.
• Inland ‘cruising’ event, eg. to the Lake Bonney Yacht Club.
• Barker Inlet and Port River Estuary mangrove tour (sail/motor/tender).
• Port Adelaide history and sites cruise.
• Other cruising in company events in conjunction with destination local event eg:
  – ‘Stansbury Sounds by the Sea’
  – ‘Wirrina Bluegrass Festival’
  – Port Victoria 150 Years’ Celebration: 7-9 March 2026.

There is usually a good turnout of Cruisers at the Blub’s Second Saturday of the month BBQ, and when it’s the Cruisers’ turn to host, we turn up the fun with a special theme.

Anchored in Adventure
We maintain club moorings at prime destinations including Edithburgh, Stansbury, and Black Point, working with partners to ensure their continued safety and accessibility for all members.
