2022 Tollycruisers Rendezvous Information

A Totally Tubular ’80s Tollycraft Rendezvous

Whether this is your first Tollycraft Rendezvous or your 30th…here’s the information you need for the 2022 Canadian Tollycruisers Rendezvous.

The Rendezvous Theme – A Totally Tubular ’80s Tollycraft Rendezvous

The 2022 Tollycruisers Rendezvous theme is the decade of neon, leg warmers, hair bands – the 1980s! Many of the events/decorations/games taking place during the weekend will feature this theme. 

You can join in the theme by:

• Decorating your boat
• Dressing the part for our ’80s themed dinners
• If your pet is attending the Rendezvous, be sure to include an ’80s themed outfit for our Pet Parade

Many Tollycruisers are known to celebrate the theme all weekend long. Prizes for best costume and decorated Tollycraft announced Saturday night.
