About

Since the Association’s formation in 1978, the Bluewater Cruising Association (BCA) has supported offshore mariners and aspiring cruisers. BCA now numbers over 700 members from all over the world.

BCA is a vibrant and active organization, holding monthly club meetings in Vancouver, Calgary, Nanaimo and Victoria. Club nights feature presentations by speakers who have cruised or are currently cruising offshore. These presentations give members the opportunity to gain valuable tips on cruising offshore, share information and opinions and keep their cruising dreams alive.
