CRUISING

Oregon’s oldest yacht club had its beginnings in 1908 as the Willamette Motor Boat Club, and remains to this day the favorite for many motor boaters.  Organized cruises began as early as the early 1920s, when club members travelled to anchorages on local rivers and downriver on the Columbia River as far as Ilwaco, WA.

Annual club cruises include:

• St. Patrick’s Day
• Memorial Day
• The traditional Men’s Cruise
• Fourth of July
• Labor Day 
• Bald Eagle Days in quaint Cathlamet, WA,
• The Down-the-River cruise
• A rendezvous in the Puget Sound region
• The late summer cruise to Beacon Rock
• Many other non-hosted cruises to the Club’s Outstation on Sauvie Island
