Register for one of our Shoreside Events below

Everyone is welcome to our shoreside events, whether you are already signed up for a rally or simply exploring your options. These events combine informal social gatherings, presentations, boats, and equipment displays, and offer the chance to meet the World Cruising Club team, talk with experienced skippers and marine industry experts, and view ARC-ready yachts that have crossed oceans.

We host events across the UK, North America, Europe, and online, with most free to attend and regularly updated.

Bluewater Days are relaxed, informative sessions for anyone dreaming of or preparing for offshore cruising. They bring together sailors, ARC skippers, and experts to share practical advice, inspiration, and guidance on planning an ocean passage, whether you already own a boat or are still in the early stages.

Seminars are focused learning sessions covering key topics such as the World ARC, weather, boat and equipment selection, crew preparation, and life at sea, with time for questions.

Boat Shows give you the opportunity to meet the World Cruising Club team, get advice on rallies and offshore sailing, and reconnect with past participants.

Rendezvous Events are informal social gatherings for past, present, and future participants to meet, share experiences, and connect with the wider cruising community.
