With a range of packages including set menu, buffet, or cocktail style options, we cater to your preferences, promising a stress-free and joyous occasion. Discover the perfect blend of elegance and relaxation in our function room with balcony, tailored to your vision.

The Cruising Yacht Club of WA exceed our expectations for the wedding reception. I was a bit nervous about the food as I heard mixed reviews, but the food was outstanding. We had a buffet. All our guest at our wedding raved about how good the food was & some of our friends are chefs. I can’t wait to have many more events here. With all the fairy lights the place really does come alive. The thing I didn’t like is we had to pay a fee to set up the day before in the space. Which I personally think it was a bit harsh to make someone pay that fee to set up the day before if the room is empty/ not being used. The staff who worked at our wedding reception where so friendly & lovely. We wanted to be friends with them all. Thanks for making our day so special. - Hayley McDonald

WA Cruising Guide

← back to cruising section, western australian cruising guide version 5.4.

February 2023 

The Western Australian Cruising Guide is regarded as the coastal cruising bible for WA, covering the coast from Darwin to Eucla, including the Christmas and Cocos Islands. This book is a definite “must have”, especially for cruising the Kimberley, with over 600 pages, 220 chartlets and many interesting colour photos. The main source of information for this guide is feedback from the hundreds of sailors who have shared their knowledge of this largely unexplored part of the coast.

The  5th edition, now in its fourth update (v5.4), was a major revision of the 4th edition published in 2014. It includes dozens of new diagrams and several hundred new items of information. The first part of the guide covers weather, tides, passage planning, communications, emergency services, marine animals and government departments. The second part contains specific pilotage information on many anchorages, showing suitable spots to anchor, dangers, the amount of protection, tidal information, places of interest, history of the area, and local contact details. 

The guide is now available in two electronic formats, downloadable here without charge: o download your free copy of this invaluable resource: Click here to download pdf

CYCA Offshore Sailing Academy | Survey

The CYCA has recently formed a working group to investigate the feasibility of opening an Offshore Sailing Academy.

The Academy would be based on a similar model to the Youth Sailing Academy, however would be open to members and non-members of all ages.

As part of our research, we are currently meeting with several organisations and individuals who have had past experience with an overseas offshore academy. We are also looking to gather information from a select target group on how and when the academy may operate. To collect this data, please complete a short 5 question survey so we can calibrate a calendar for the Academy.
