SUMMER RAFT-UPS IN THE COSTA BLANCA

Powerboats
Dedicated motor boat activities
The CBYA also organises 5 or 6 social “Raft-ups” every summer. This is open to CBYA boat-owning members and involves both sailing and power boats. We usually meet at a pre-agreed offshore location between Javea and Moraira, which could be Cala Blanca, Sardine Bay, El Portet or Tango Bay. The boat owners select their own crew/guests. Activities include swimming, eating and drinking. Usually an excellent day out!
