Social Fleets

Many years ago the Cruising Fleet was a group of sailors from the club that gathered for various events and activities.

This group has evolved into a mix of sailors, power boaters, and non-boat owners who enjoy camaraderie and activities on the water and off. The Cruising Fleet schedules various activities throughout the year, including Friday nights at the Skylark Bar, cruising to other ports, dinghy poker runs, and Bloody Mary Sunday! The winter months can feel long, so the Cruising Fleet hosts dinner speaker events on marine related topics. 

At only $50/year, membership to the Cruising Fleet is the best deal in town! Come and join us at all of the events or just the ones that interest you.

The power fleet is comprised of Milwaukee Yacht Club members who are enthusiastic about power boating and all it has to offer.

While many members of the power fleet have powerboats, we also have members who are sailors and even those that do not own boats. It matters not to us as long as you share in the passion. The power fleet meets monthly during the winter months for a short planning meeting followed by dinner. It allows us to keep in touch with friends from the summer and enjoy the club year-round. In the spring, we put together the Calendar of Events which plans out the summer activities. We enjoy destination trips to ports like Saugatuck, MI, Chicago, IL, Door County, WI, Sheboygan, WI, and many other locations during the summer. We also have river cruises up the Milwaukee River and brunch cruises to Port Washington, and parties during the summer.

If this sounds like something you would enjoy and people you would like to associate with then join the Power Fleet.

When does the Power Fleet meet?

We meet year-round. Meetings are in the clubhouse October through May at 6:00 p.m. for cocktails and possibly a meeting to discuss and plan upcoming events and cruises, or a presentation followed by dinner. Why join the Power Fleet? The Power Fleet's goal is to unite club members with a common interest in powerboating through social activities. The schedule for summer events varies from year to year and is published in the spring.
