Santa Cruise
Sunday, 8 December 2024
Guest Arrival - 2:00 pm; Begin boarding - 2:30 pm

This heart-warming event began here in 1981 when Bremerton Yacht Club arranged to emulate the long-standing Seafair Holiday Cruise that takes place on Lake Washington.  This special event provides guests with intellectual disabilities a boat ride to visit with Santa that is treasured from year to year.  Boats decked out in lights and holiday cheer depart from the Bremerton Yacht Club docks for the short cruise to Dyes Inlet where their guests get to greet Santa and they also enjoy entertainment and gifts during their visit.  In addition to Bremerton and Lake Washington, simultaneous cruises also take place in Tacoma and Olympia.

BYC members, check our Event Page to sign up your boat and explore volunteering opportunities.

If you have a family member or person in your care with a disability that would like to participate in the cruise to see Santa and exchange Christmas greetings, please provide  us with contact information here:
