Father’s Day Cruise

Bowen Island

Join us June 6th -8th  2025 for our annual Fathers Day Cruise! Everyone is welcome, by land or sea.

You don’t need a boat to join, guests are welcome to come by ferry for the day.

Tickets are $35 per person for the full weekend, which includes all weekend activities and meals.

For landlubbers, tickets are $15 per day to join us on Saturday or Sunday. Landlubbers can take the Bowen Island Ferry. The last Ferry is at 10:30PM so there is plenty of time to join for the dock party and dinner. You don’t need to have a boat to join in the fun!

We are a volunteer organization, so there will be ‘all hands on deck’ to help out with the festivities. Please consider helping – sign up HERE to help.

*IMPORTANT* If you are planning to come by boat, and you have not reserved a slip, call the Union Steamship Marina ASAP to reserve your spot. Moorage will fill up fast, so call 604-947-0707 to reserve, and let them know you are with CPS North Shore Squadron. Smaller boats will be on A dock, larger boats on E dock.

The agenda is as follows:

6:00 PM – 11:30 PM

Friday, June 6


***IMPORTANT – You must reserve a slip by calling the marina directly: 604-947-0707, let them know you’re with the North Shore Squadron.

If you have any lawn games, ideas to keep us all entertained and if you are up for a walk in the woods, come prepared. Pray that the weather is going to be good, but if not, we’ll have tarps set up to keep us dry at the events.

Looking forward to seeing you there,
