Welcome aboard the Waukesha Cruise Fleet Website.  We are the premier family power boating club in the nation.  Currently, our Club has 32 families.  Our boats range in size from inflatables to 34 foot cruisers.   One of the strengths of our Club is our dedication to family involvement.  This has built long term bonds between adults, kids, and families that go far beyond boating.  We offer many activities on and off the water including monthly club meetings.

Our cruises may be a few hours, days or vacation trips.  They are led by a family that has knowledge of the waters that we will be traveling.  We will take you to places that you have only dreamed about!

Some of the places we visit include the Mississippi River, Lake Winnebago, Door County, Apostle Islands, North Channel, Isle Royale, and ports on or across the Great Lakes. 

If you would like more information, please email us on the link on this page, or at:  info@waukeshacruisefleet.com 

Before saying good bye, take a look at the photo gallery of our recent trips.  We’re glad you came on board today, and hope you will consider the Waukesha Cruise Fleet.  From big to small, we do it all!

Thank you.

     THE WCF BURGEE

 

Waukesha was known as "Spring City" because of it's famous spring water, which used to be bottled and sold throughout the country. The design on the burgee resembles a spring and is the Greek symbol for water.

Our Burgee was designed in 1957 by Fay Steen, who along with her husband Garf Steen, were active members when the club was formed.

It was know then as the "Waukesha Outboard Fleet."  The club's name was changed to "Waukesha Cruise Fleet" in September of 1975, as more of the boats were being powered by inboard/outboard type motors and the primary aim of the club was "Family Cruising."

In 2000, the Burgee was updated.  The WCF initials were added vertically to the left of the spring.  It was felt by the club that this would enhance the recognition of the Burgee.
