Ahoy, Windjammers shipmates and hearty souls!
Yer new Cruise Chair stands ready at the helm this season to steer our flotilla toward grand adventures on Green Bay’s waters! We’ve charted five stout cruises, each with a trusty coordinator, day sails or overnights, all hands welcome aboard.
‘Tis the shared yarns at anchor, laughter in the wind, and bond of true shipmates that make these voyages legendary. Hoist yer sails, old salts and fresh hands alike. Sign on and join the merry company; there’s always a berth for one more!
All cruises are open to Windjammer Sailing Club members and their friends. This year, the Cruise Committee will arrange five cruises that range from one day to several days. These cruises are organized, planned, and led by a cruise coordinator. Contact the coordinator to let them know your joining.
If you’re unable to join us for the cruise, meet us at the destination or board one of the participating sailboats. Stay in touch with the coordinator for updates on estimated arrival times and cruising sailboats.

We encourage members to organize and plan their own cruises. If you wish to have other boats join you, the Cruise Committee will help by informing members of your cruise details and itinerary.
Future Plans:
- Create marina and anchorage reports
- Arrange cruising educational seminars
- Promote flotillas
Fair winds and following seas, let’s make this season a fine one!
