Cape Critters Program The Cape Critters Program is designed for children ages 5-7 years old that have no sailing experience. It is a ½ day program that begins at 9 AM and concludes at 12 PM, Monday through Wednesday or Thursday and Friday. The core concepts are fundamentals of water safety, sailing our Hobie Waves, and an experience of the wonder of our diverse bayside environment. FUN and teamwork are emphasized while sailing as a group. An onboard instructor rotates the campers through a series of jobs including Lookout - Sail Trim - and Steering.

Weekday Sailing School

Students can attend a 3 hour morning or afternoon session, or they can attend a 7 hour all day clinic with a one hour break for lunch and pool time. We have 5 different skill levels, training to the 19 skills in US Sailing's Start Sailing Right. Students are placed in groups based on previous experience and instructor assessments. Depending on their skills students may sail in Hobie Waves - Flying Scots - Zests - Sunfish - Lasers, and other boats. As they progress they will learn skills like seamanship, water safety, proper sail trim and steering, rigging and de-rigging, launching and landing, and capsizing and recovery. Each daily session includes a brief pre and post sail chalk talk, with the majority of the time dedicated to being on the water.

Lewes , DE 19958

The Lewes Yacht Club (LYC) was founded in 1932 to encourage water sports, boating, casual sailing, and promote racing competition. The Club is enriched by its history and traditions, yet has a casual and relaxed atmosphere. LYC is situated at the mouth of the Delaware Bay, which feeds into the Atlantic Ocean. The Club hosts Sunday races in everything from Sunfish and Mobjacks to Open Bics, Zumas and Optis for junior racers. They also co-host the Annual Cape-to-Cape Challenge Race, between LYC and the Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May, NJ.

From the Commodore:

“We are extremely pleased to have been able to participate with and join the National Sailing Hall of Fame as a Founding Member. The members and friends of sailing at LYC rallied to raise the donations privately, but it was a Club-wide Campaign with Club-wide support! We feel that this effort in supporting the NSHOF has strengthened the Lewes Yacht Club and sailing in general. We look forward to a lasting relationship with the NHSOF to the benefit of all those with sailing in their blood!! We strongly encourage that all yacht clubs undertake a similar campaign— it was “win-win” for us.”

Bob Edelen, Commodore

• Best of Delaware

P laying in the sun, sand and surf every day is Delawarean Clara Elliott’s idea of a perfect summer. Obviously, she’s not alone. Each year, thousands of people from all over the country flock to Delaware’s beaches.

Whether day tripping or staying the summer, many are looking for fun activities for their kids. Fear not: Delaware is ready. Sailing, surfing, swimming, skimboarding and even geocaching (GPS hide-and-seek, essentially) camps are part of Sussex County’s summer camp scene.

Elliott, 18, of Lewes, offers just one of several activities people can expect to find along our coast. A former world-ranked amateur skimboarder, she now teaches the sport she loves to others through Relyance Skim Camp just south of Dewey Beach.

Being a camper at Relyance as a kid is what motivated Elliott herself to compete on amateur and professional levels before becoming a counselor. 

Click here for more information about coastal camps.

“They’re really good at talking with kids,” she says of the camp’s founders, Dave and Tom Bracht, who are also internationally ranked professional skimboarders. The duo founded the camp to not only grow the predominantly West Coast sport (Laguna Beach, California, is home to one of the best breaks in the world and hosts the Skimboarding World Championship every summer) on the East Coast, but also to provide life lessons and be positive role models for their students. Their camps are family affairs. Staff and students skim, swim, play games on the beach and enjoy lunch, which the Brachts’ parents provide to the camp.

“I swear some of the kids don’t even like to skim [but] come for the food,” Dave says. People ask for their taco recipes, and they sell T-shirts highlighting “Stanburgers,” the name the campers gave the burgers Dave and Tom’s father grills up for them.

Monday through Thursday throughout the summer, Relyance offers full and half-day camps for beginners through advanced skimmers. Several of their graduates, like Elliott, have gone on to be nationally ranked in skim competitions. If a camper just has a good time, though, they are happy with that.

“Our whole goal is for kids to have the best week of their summer,” says Dave.

Faces of Delaware 2024

Skimming waves isn’t the only way to stand on water this summer. Surfer Peter Zabowski of the Rehoboth Surf Boarding School caters to kids age 6 and older in the art of surfing and stand-up paddleboarding. He’s taught surfing in Puerto Rico and spends his winters traveling to the best surf spots around the globe. He believes Delaware is a great place to learn how to surf because the waves are big enough to ride, but not too big to be intimidating.

“You [only] need a knee-high wave to have fun,” he says.

Surfing depends on the tides, so when there are no swells, Zabowski and his team of instructors put their campers on paddleboards, have them doing yoga, riding bikes, hiking trails and even helping with beach cleanups. His camps max out at 15 campers per week, so sign up early at rbsurf.school to guarantee a spot.

For a more wind-powered experience on water, the Lewes Yacht Club offers weekly sailing lessons on the Delaware Bay throughout the summer for children ages 5 to 16. Camps start with mild exposure and the general concept of sailing, so children will learn the tiller from the topping lift before they venture far from the dock.

Starting off in sunfish sailboats with instructors on the first day, campers work toward the ability to solo sail and even race one another.

The curriculum also teaches basic seamanship, water safety, proper sail trim and steering, rigging and de-rigging, launching and landing, capsizing and recovery.  Each day includes a brief pre- and post-sail chalk talk, with the majority of the time spent on the water.

“We want to foster a love of sailing and water sports on the bay,” says Beth Copeland, a member of the sailing committee.

The camp’s hope is to create a lifelong passion for the sport. And it’s worked before. Yacht club campers have gone on to maritime schools and the United States Naval Academy.

With any time on or near the water, it’s smart to have some safety and survival skills. Area lifeguards are here to help with their junior lifeguard programs in Rehoboth and Dewey Beaches.

“It’s an awesome program,” says Kent Buckson, Rehoboth Beach patrol captain, of the part-time camp. Running before lifeguards hit their stations Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from mid-June to mid-August, the program is for families who want structured fun and learning but don’t want it to take up the whole day or week.

Lifeguards give juniors lessons about equipment, life-saving procedures such as how to properly move someone to a backboard, and communication, such as how to send a message with flags.

“Kids love the beach flags and jumping in the water,” Buckson says. “Each day has a theme—like Mental Monday, where students are taught how to avoid getting hurt in the ocean and on the beach.” Workout Wednesday has the kids taking part in conditioning exercises, while Fun Friday has campers play games like dodgeball and tag.

“I liked the variety,” says former junior guard Sidney Caldwell of Lewes. “Each day was different, and the games were fun. I liked learning about ocean safety and what it takes to be a lifeguard.”

Juniors are encouraged to try out for the real thing when they get older, Buckson says. Several of his veteran lifeguards got their start in the summer program.

The Coastal Fun Camp at the Sussex Family YMCA in Rehoboth offers different coastal adventures every week. Campers learn to love nature through hiking, exploring, swimming and going on field trips, and can sign up by the week or for the entire summer.

For those looking for a sleep-over experience, Camp Arrowhead offers cabins and activities for children in grades 2 to 11 on the shore of Rehoboth Bay near Lewes. The camp experience is designed to “enrich young people’s relationships with one another, nature and God,” its website says. “Campers are encouraged to embrace a sense of adventure and cultivate spiritual awareness as they take healthy risks, share responsibilities, and engage in outdoor life with one another.”

Here students take part in rafting, kayaking, sailing, banana-boating and swimming, as well as activities like dancing and arts and crafts. Challenge courses, complete with a climbing wall, high ropes and low ropes adventures, appeal to kids of all ages, while older campers can also take part in backcountry-like camping away from the main cabins.

“It’s a lot of fun,” says Lucas Stevenson, 14, of Lewes, who has spent several weeks at Camp Arrowhead.

Camps offer plenty of educational opportunities, too. Delaware State Parks hosts programs that teach everything from beach ecology to a day on the job of the lifesaving station crew. Day camps for ages 7 and older feature activities like squid dissection, kayaking eco tours through the salt marsh, geocaching using GPS to find hidden treasures, and hikes along the shore.

High school students with an interest in marine biology and oceanography can find a world of excitement at University of Delaware’s Summer TIDE program. The 13-day instructional camp focuses on the atmospheric, oceanic and biogeochemical processes at work in the Delaware Bay. Camp academic activities include classroom instruction, discussions, lectures and visits to modern oceanographic and atmospheric laboratories, as well as field excursions to the Bay for sampling and exploration.

The camp is administered by UD’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment’s campuses in Newark and Lewes, which facilitates interdisciplinary research, undergraduate and graduate education, and outreach in earth, ocean and environmental systems. The aim is to help students gain an understanding of concepts like sea breeze, tides, habitat loss, climate change and alternative energy. Campers spend time at both campuses.

So, stow those devices away. This summer, there is much fun to be had near and along Delaware’s coast.

Sailing Tough Sailing - Great Entertainment

• Tough Sailing - Great Entertainment

From Kiel to the World

In its 143 rd year, Kieler Woche will take place from 22 to 30 June, 2024

An extraordinary, international atmosphere. One of the largest sailing events in the world. Regatta sailing at the highest level. Unbeatable class diversity. This is Kiel Week.

In its 139 th year, Kieler Woche will focus on its roots again. From 5 to 13 September, the sport of sailing - and with it the historical foundation of Kieler Woche - moves into the centre of attention. And if possible, just a little more.

We are looking forward to the times, when - hopefully next year - around 2.000 events in areas of culture, sailing, summer festival, entertainment, science, politics, industry and sport will come together again to form a maritime symphony.

Restaurant-Yacht Chaika

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Pleasantly surprised, service is good so is the food. Great selection of Fusion food, a mixture of Italian, Japanese, European, Asian etc. A pleasantly nice dining experience, highly recommended, a must try!

Thank you for your feedback and invite you to have lunch or dinner again aboard the ship in an atmosphere of high standards of yacht hospitality.

everything was perfect - the food, the service, the desserts were the best, nice atmosphere and the location - magical

Best food, best view in Moscow. absolutely faultless from arrival to finish. Best risotto i had for many years absolutely perfectly cooked. The view on Ukrainian hotel and the white house by night is amazing

Had to wait for the food for 1.5 hours and then another 20 minutes for the check. Finally called for the manager and he offered... a 10% discount as a compensation. Simply pathetic! The food is mediocre at best. Not bad per se, but one... would expect something better considering the prices. There are many places to eat in area that are much better. Avoid this one at all costs. More

Hello, Alexander Your comment is extremely important for us, thank you a lot for it. We are terribly sorry for your time that you`ve spent waiting your order and we have already taken actions to improve quality of our service and it would be realy... More

Food is very expensive,very pretentious, doesn't worth that money. Portions are very small. We ordered ravioli and there were 4! Four raviolis! For almost 15 euros. Then we asked to bring us dessert menu but nothing, they didn't even bothered, so we payed and left... without dessert. Very poor service for that price. More

This is a very good restaurant. The food is really good, maybe the best in Moscow. The service is also good. The view from the restaurant is great. The prices are very high.

I often visit this restaurant and must say it’s one of the best in Moscow in terms of quality and service. Staff really try hard to make sure that you are happy and satisfied. Customer service is a huge problem in Moscow but Chaika sets... a great example for others in the industry! Food is delicious and the menu has lots of options for everyone! Atmosphere is great and view is beautiful on the embankment. Special thanks to German & Oleg! More

Thank you for your feedback! Again aboard the yacht restaurant "Chaika" in accordance with the high standards of yacht hospitality.

Highly recommended, great location in the city center of Moscow with a superb atmosphere. Too many menu choices, though all delicious!

Thx a lot for your review! We are looking forward to see you in our restaurants.

Visited this lovely restaurant with a friend of mine. It was relaxingly warm August evening - so the place on the river seemed like a good idea. We came quite early and the restaurant was not full. The hostesses kindly offered several places to sit... and we chose to sit on the sofas. We had some wine, which was good. We struggled a bit when deciding about the food as few options (scallops) were not available. Fish on ice on display did not look very fresh. To be honest it was an unusually hot August and it is probably understandable that some see food options were not available. However, we did manage to order something and sat waiting and looking onto the river. My long-legged friend struggled sitting at the low sofa and the manager noticed that, offering as a very good, proper table beside the open window. It was nice touch and I was very pleased by their polite observations and immediate reaction to solve the problem. Food was quite good and presentation was perfect. Perhaps I can something about the food, but 1 visit is not enough to criticize or make a definitive opinion. Overall, quality place, which of course, does not come cheap. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. More

Good afternoon! Thank you for your detailed feedback! We are looking forward to seeing you again, we are sure that you will be delighted with our dishes!

I've been here several times during two business trip in Moscow. The overall quality for both service and food is absolutely top-notch, plus the location is very unique.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We are looking forward to visiting again!

Located on a boat at Krasnopresenskaya River Bank this 5 Star Restaurant transforms into a party location due to multiple groups hosting events. Impressive wine selection, Asian and European kitchen...

Thx a lot! We are waiting for you!

It is a nice place to gather specially at the lounge The service and staff very good I like the river view The food is almost like all restaurants in Russia they serve different cuisine. Staring Russian appetizer till Asian dishes Presentation and taste amazing... I consider it overpriced little bit More

Good location. Nice views. Good choice of food and drinks. European and Asian menu. Nice service. Pricey enough.

Had a large group dinner here. Food was above average and service quite good. The real attraction is the view of Moscow from the river on a nice night. Great place for a larger group dinner. More

Hello, John We are really pleased by reading that you and your friends were satisfied by our service, client`s experience is the highest value for us. We will be happy to see you again, come and enjoy some new dishes from our chef and nice... More

The luxurious atmosphere of this place, the view and the location make it quite outstanding. We had dinner here with friends and the dishes were amazing, accompanied by a chilled bottle of Chablis, it really made me feel as if it was a part of... the classic Russian movie. More

In fact, the Philippines’ basic sociopolitical unit today, the barangay, traces its etymological origins to the balangay , the ancient outrigger boats that were used by precolonial Filipino communities to explore and conquer islands this side of the Pacific. As a people belonging to a seafaring culture, it’s no wonder that modern Filipinos are taking a retrospective look at their glorious past as Austronesian mariners and are developing a renewed love for the ocean and marinas as present-day yachtsmen.

Today, Philippine marinas look to accommodate more and more yachts and other pleasure watercrafts as the years go by. In 2017, an ASEAN Briefing op-ed piece named the Philippines as a country with high potential in yacht industry growth. The natural beauty of the Philippine islands and its fantastic bays, combined with a growing interest in leisurely sea travel, can explain the spike in yachting activities throughout the country.

Are you part of the demographic that’s become enamored of the yachting lifestyle? Do you want to know where in the country you can berth your watercraft?
