Half Moon Bay - Halloween Rendez-Boo!
October 22nd - 24th
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 15 - 20 boats with crews from Club Nautique and some boats from Cruising Yachts. 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!
