MAY 26–29
MEMORIAL DAY CRUISE: BERMUDA BOUND
Let's get lost in the Tinsley Triangle! Friday night’s White Party will set the mood for a weekend of fun, and you won’t want to miss Saturday’s “Tender Bender” Boat Parade. The band, Pride & Joy, is headlining and they always put on a great show. Swizzle into Sunday’s “Get Shipwrecked!” Pool Party and don adventure garb for the Tinsley Triangle Treasure Hunt. If you’re feeling competitive, there’s Bocce Ball, Volleyball and Dominos. If you’d like to relax, there is morning yoga or luxurious massages. All weekend, enjoy Bermuda-inspired drinks and cuisine on our island paradise. Pack your Bermuda shorts and blazers!

JUNE 2–4, 2017
Welcome to Oktoberfest! Upon arrival, guests receive a Fresh Crew stein for visits to the biergarten. The weekend kicks off with a rocking DJ at the White Party. On Saturday, wake up to an island transformed into adult summer camp. Activities include SUPing, Liar’s Dice, pool pong and sloshball. Don’t miss the Fresh Crew Floatilla and Floating Bar where you’ll watch the fastest Fresh Crew compete in the Laser Regatta. That night, don your lederhosen for a costume contest and hit the dance floor at the Pop Rocks concert. We’re going back to our roots, meaning the Cruise will not be catered and attendees are responsible for their own food, housing and cleanup. Never fear—it’s Oktoberfest, so beer will be included.

STAG CRUISE: THE BIG ONE (60TH ANNIVERSARY)
This year marks the 60th anniversary of Stag Cruise. With eager anticipation, StFYC yachtsmen, close friends and luminary sailors will gather from oceans, rivers and lakes far and wide. Every conceivable subject will be discussed, ranging from important to trivial. Our goal is to enjoy the great camaraderie with ample gastronomy, fierce competition, and phenomenal entertainment. Getting there and back by boat is spectacular, and always more enjoyable with many aboard. You may anticipate keen interest in the Lighthouse Talks with carefully curated topics. See you there!
