On the social side, we organise events at pleasant and friendly venues, where members and guests can relax and enjoy themselves.
We run a varied, and well attended, social calendar of nautical-themed events, quiz evenings, presentations, walks, informal meals and formal dinners.
Key events include beach parties and traditional Christmas and New Year events.



Our monthly dinner or lunch at Restaurant A Bordo, Club Nautico de Javea is the most popular event on our social calendar. This venue is also where we hold our annual Awards Ceremony and the highlight is our famous CBYA Christmas party in December.
Monthly summer socials for drinks at a bar, or chiringuito, in various locations between Dénia and Calpe.
We usually arrange a tapas dinner before enjoying the parade and spectacular fireworks in Jávea old town for the last night of the St Juan fiesta in June.
We also organise a beach party with paella to enjoy the fireworks on the Virgen de Loreto fiesta in September.
The scheduled annual events typically include a ladies lunch, a new-members lunch, the CBYA Awards Ceremony and our annual Christmas Party.
