Who We Are

LCYC _ Crab.jpg

The Little Cranberry Yacht Club Community Sailing and Education Foundation (LCYC-CSEF) -- locally known as simply the LCYC -- is a traditional community-based organization serving the five Cranberry Islands since its origin in 1964.  The LCYC has perennially offered rowing and sailing classes for juniors as well as adults, focusing on achieving a greater level of confidence on the water through a better understanding of proper boat handling and the importance of water safety and seamanship. In recent years, our programs have expanded to include all sorts of island and maritime activities and skills.

For generations of Little Cranberry summer and year-round residents, the LCYC has been a foundation in teaching the enduring skills critical to island living and has helped to provide the sense of place that brings families back to this summer program year after year.


COMMUNITY SUPPORT

We charge fees for our classes, but those fees do not cover all the costs of maintaining this small, non-profit organization. Please be generous with your donation so we can keep teaching our youth who will be the next generation of Cranberry Isles sailors!
