It’s great to see some boat and yacht owners starting to get involved in the Christmas spirit by lighting up their craft with flashing Christmas lights and decorations! The more we can get up on our boats, the better the spectacle and more time tourists on the Night Cruises will spend in the RQYS marina! This year the cruises will be conducted in a RIB which gives much more flexibility to manoeuvre within the fingers. Please let Reception know when you light up your craft and we will add your boat name to the spectacle for the spectators on the cruises.

If you have yacht you use which prevents you putting lights up, just turn on your masthead and/or deck lights to help brighten the Harbour.

Your involvement will be rewarded by the smiles you help put on kids faces to make our beautiful village the place to visit this Christmas.

Also, bring your kids and grandkids to Little Bayside Park at the end of Cambridge Parade on the afternoon of the 6th for a free photo with Santa. Register your involvement here: https://www.manlyharbourvillage.com/boatentry
