Our Popular Cruises

Memorial Day Weekend (Hamburg Cove) – Typically hosted by Bob and Roz Weinstein features a cocktail party on Saturday evening, a carry-in supper on Sunday and an overall relaxing weekend celebrating the start of summer!

Three Mile Fireworks (Mid July) – We’ve had so much fun over the past few years, this has become an official DIYC cruise! I think we were the largest raft-up in the harbor the last time we all went! Last year the debris in the sound and weather didn’t cooperate but hopefully the weather this year will support a day full of beach games or fun floats, festivities and an amazing firework show Sat evening. An event not to miss!

Labor Day Weekend - (Mystic Seaport and Block Island) – It’s hard to imagine the end of summer before it even starts, but Labor Day has historically been a fabulous weekend to spend with fellow Duckies in either Mystic or Block Island. Both locations boast the most amount of fun. Perhaps we’ll have to capture it in pictures and vote on that!

We always try out other ideas year after year and if YOU have any thoughts on cruises, please contact our Rear Commodore Cruise.

 

See our DIYC Cruising on Facebook page for additional information on all postings on the Cruise Notice Board below. Our Rear Commodore Cruise, Lauren, would like the Duckie cruisers to use the Facebook Cruising page as the go to vehicle for coordinating the season's cruises.

Cruise Reports - we encourage cruise leaders and participants to submit photos and a summary of any DIYC cruise to diyc.webmaster@gmail.com While the webmaster is more than happy to post the reports on this website one should consider posting these on the DIYC Cruising Facebook page.
