The North Wales Cruising Club was founded in 1928 for yachtsmen and boat owners who enjoy sailing to the beautiful anchorages and marinas of Anglesey and the Irish Sea.
On the water events are arranged throughout the year, including weekend trips to the Menai Strait and around Anglesey as well as longer trips which take advantage of the expansive sailing area to the Isle of Man, Ireland and the West Coast of Scotland.
We offer classroom and online RYA training courses at very competitive rates which are cheaper than many of the sailing schools in the area.
The Club has its own launch for ferrying members, crew and visitors to and from boats on Conwy River swinging moorings, pontoons, and the marinas at Conwy and Deganwy.
Visiting Conwy by boat? If you arrange to pick up a mooring in the harbour, the launch will take you ashore and the town is just a 2 minute walk. All visiting yachtsmen are very welcome.
The club has a great social programme with an extensive list of traditional and modern social events throughout the year.
Club Launch
The club owns and maintains its own launch, which is operational all year round for the benefit of members and their guests, as well as visiting yachtsmen.
The launch runs from Conwy Harbour to all river moorings and pontoons as well as Conwy Marina, Deganwy Marina and the floating pontoons off Deganwy and Bodlondeb Point near Conwy.
All mariners are advised that navigation mark C11 in the Conwy Harbour approach channel is temporarily unlit. A cancelation notice will be issued once the issue is rectified.
