Bareboat Cruising

The SOS Board of Directors established the Bareboat Cruising Committee (BCC) in October 2000 to provide opportunities for SOS members and guests to participate in bareboat charter cruises outside the Chesapeake Bay region.

The Bareboat Cruising program is administered for the benefit of both the cruise participants and the membership of SOS.  It is intended to be self-supporting and managed so as not to bring financial or legal liability to SOS, its officers and/or members.  Cruising fees are used only for costs directly related to each specific cruise.  If there is a surplus in the cruising fee account for a specific cruise, the surplus will be refunded to the cruise participants following the cruise.
