About Cairns Cruising Yacht Squadron
Cairns Cruising Yacht Squadron is a yacht club on Tingira Street, on the banks of Smiths Creek close to Cairns City. Its relaxed clubhouse runs a bar and restaurant, and its doors are open to function hirers as well as members. The lower level can be hired for large events and holds more than 300 guests. It has a big bar, a covered bandstand with a stage, smart TVs, pool tables and dartboards, with views over the creek to the rainforest-covered ranges. For smaller events, the function room is fully air-conditioned and has its own private bar, a data projector and screen, and free Wi-Fi. It seats 100 for dinner, takes 100 for cocktails and 120 theatre-style, with rectangular or round tables to suit. Catering is handled by the club's Hook & Sail team, who prepare menus for weddings, birthday parties, Christmas parties, corporate lunches and family gatherings. They can also organise a drinks package and help with entertainment. Equipment is supplied for most events, with any unusual extras quoted separately. Disabled toilets and parking are on site, along with a designated smoking area.
