Half Moon Bay - Halloween Rendez-Boo!
October 21st- 23rd
Our trip to Half Moon Bay is the perfect example of why you would want to be a part of Club Nautique! We don't just train you to go coastal cruising, we encourage it and we love it so much, we do it with you! This is one of our favorite trips of the year. We cruise down "flotilla style" with a group of boats from Club Nautique, members on their onw boats, staff on their own boats and friends of Club Nautique. We carve pumpkins, we go hiking, we head into town to visit beautiful Half Moon Bay, we enjoy the local hospitality at Half Moon Bay Yacht Club, we dine at the great nearby restaurants, we have cocktail parties and host various contests. There is just so much good cheer, you won't believe how much fun you'll have! Start your annual tradition of fun coastal adventure and camaraderie!

2. Join a list of those interested and we'll get chartershares together. We'll need CPM certified skippers to assume skipper duties. We recommend that you have had some open sea experience. All participants will be asked to split charter cost, provisioning and berthing fees. Availability is limited.
