About us
LOCCA is dedicated to supporting a vibrant and connected boating community by fostering collaboration, communication, and shared experiences across yacht clubs and marinas.
Inspired by the evolving needs of sailors and boating enthusiasts, our platform serves as a central hub for discovering reciprocal opportunities, accessing essential information, and strengthening relationships between clubs and members.
We aim to simplify and enhance the cruising experience by bringing together clubs, members, and resources into one accessible and user-friendly platform. By doing so, we help boaters plan their journeys with confidence while promoting a culture of openness and cooperation across the waterfront community.
In response to the growing needs of sailors and boaters on Lake Ontario, the Lake Ontario Club Cruising Association (LOCCA) was created. Membership has been offered to every Yacht club from Brockville in the East to Hamilton in the West, and in both Canada and the US.
Our Mission
LOCCA enhances and supports yacht club cruising programs, provides a platform to discuss issues of importance to boaters, their respective yacht clubs and to hosting clubs, as well as coordinate club cruises on the greater Lake Ontario. LOCCA will strive to be inclusive in order to address the issues of all boaters.
LOCCA’s short-term deliverables for member Yacht Clubs are:
- Individualized web based integrated & interactive cruising schedules for member clubs and individual boaters; www.locca.org
- Dedicated web pages that provide the following club specific information:
- Names and contacts of the Cruising Fleet Directors, gas dock attendants, club manager, facilities manager etc.,
- Reciprocal policies,
- Key phone numbers,
- Facilities available to visiting boaters,
- Boating (depth etc) and other club restrictions,
- Link to the yacht club web sites,
- Electronic LOCCA newsletter.
LOCCA will take advantage of new technologies to create a web-based virtual organization thereby creating an environment whereby the executive team, the membership, the Cruising Fleet Captains and the individual boater can work or consult directly online thus avoiding the need for face time meetings.
