About Cairns Cruising Yacht Squadron
Cairns Cruising Yacht Squadron is a long‑established boating and yachting club based on Smiths Creek in Portsmith, Cairns, Queensland. The club operates a deep‑water marina and pile moorings, a boatyard with haul‑out and hard‑stand facilities, and a modern waterfront clubhouse that includes a bar, restaurant, and function spaces. It serves both local members and visiting yachts, providing sailing events, social activities, and marine support services in Far North Queensland.
A card charge with a descriptor like “N EFTPOS CCYS\PORTSMITH QLD AU” is very likely an EFTPOS transaction processed through the Squadron’s point‑of‑sale terminals at its Portsmith clubhouse or marina. This could relate to food or drinks at the bar, a meal in the restaurant, event or function spending, marina or yard fees, membership or club fees, or associated facility charges. One‑off visitors using the bar/restaurant or paying for short‑term berthing or yard services may also see such a charge on their statements.
If you have questions about the charge, start by checking your recent visits to the Cairns Cruising Yacht Squadron—such as dining, bar tabs, event attendance, or marina/yard use—around the transaction date. Receipts may reference “CCYS” or “Cairns Cruising Yacht Squadron.” For clarification, you can contact the club office by phone or email during office hours or reach out to the bar/restaurant during trading hours; having the transaction date, exact amount, and last four digits of your card will help staff locate the payment. If you still don’t recognize the charge after speaking with the club, you should then contact your card issuer to dispute or block the transaction.
