Senior Stewards - This is a paid position for 2 to 3 individuals with a flexible schedule, able to fill in some gaps during the summer, but would work primarily from the end of August through the first weekend in October, 30 to 40 hours/week.

Steward-in-Training - There is one more opening for a 16- or 17- year old who is committed to becoming a regular steward, but lacks the required number of sea days for the US Coast Guard license.

Volunteer Stewards - 16 individuals have graciously expressed their interest and willingness to pursue US Coast Guard licensing and fill in during the season as volunteers.

All positions require the US Coast Guard Launch Tender License. The paid positions are open to members and non-members. If interested, please contact:

    Cruising
    Cruising

    Lake Champlain offers some of the best freshwater cruising in North America. The beautiful scenery and charming lakeside destinations make it a great place to explore. LCYC organizes several rendezvous events. Spontaneous cruising events also materialize throughout the season. We have a number of scheduled events planned for the summer season. Cruisers are out and about just about every weekday and weekend throughout the summer.

    Junior Sailing

    Lake Champlain Yacht Club has an active junior sailing program, open to all children ages 8-17. We use Optimist prams and Flying Junior dinghies for instruction and racing. Full and half-day sessions are offered for all ability levels over an eight week period each summer. All of our Instructors are US Sailing certified and have extensive experience. We also typically have two race weeks during the summer, the Lake Champlain Champ Chase Regatta and we travel to Lake George for the Cheeseburger Regatta!
