If you haven't already found out, CRYC is a socially active club!

If it seems there's something always going on, you're right!

One of the best ways to get acquainted with the Club and its members is just "jump right in." Perhaps you're lucky enough to have active sponsors that will help you through what sometimes can be an awkward transition period. For those of you who aren't in that category - this is one of the purposes of the Welcome Aboard Committee: to help introduce you to what CRYC has to offer.  We hope this information will prove to be of assistance.

Parties - Some members feel the parties are one of the best aspects of CRYC. There are theme parties, costume parties, balls, cocktail parties, private parties... . Parties at the Point Bar, parties on the Veranda, parties in the Main Dining Room, parties in the Commodores Lounge ... formal parties, casual parties, and everything in between ... you get the picture. There are usually at least two major parties every month - more if you include Cruisers, Afternoon/Evening by the Intracoastal, etc.

We encourage you to try a few of each type of party in your first year or two - then you'll begin to get a feel for what kind you most enjoy.

While many members attending Club parties have been invited to sit with specific friends - there is always a "Club table" that you're welcome to join if you haven't been invited or haven't chosen to make your own table.

Making a Table - This phrase does not refer to getting out the hammer and nails, but rather serving as the host or hostess, making a "master" reservation for a table of 4-12, picking up the phone and inviting several people to join you for a specific event. Don't worry,  you're not in line for a whopping bill at the end of the evening - each person/couple is expected to pay his or her own check.

Likewise, when you're invited by another Club member, they are simply asking you to join them, not to be responsible for your tab!

Reservations - It is very important to call ahead for a reservation for nearly every event. It ensures you have a place to sit, there will be enough food and allows the Club to properly staff for the occasion.

Call the front office 954 566-7886 for reservations for all Club functions (or click on the "reservations" link below).

Exceptions to the reservations "rule" include: Anc'Hers, and Captains' Club, Wednesday's and Friday's half-priced cocktails (unless you're staying for dinner), dropping by for lunch at the Point Bar or Wheel Room, Dance Lessons, Poker, Pool, Tennis, Water Aerobics, and Yoga.
