Norwich Fins & Feathers
West Coast Cast & Blast

The Norwich University Fins & Feathers was informally established with a single boat in 2014 by several alumni with a passion for fishing. Now it has grown into a multiple-event and multi-region sportsman’s gathering that encourages participants to foster an appreciation for friendship, camaraderie, and our Norwich Values.

Events have been defined as Fins (fishing gatherings) or Feathers (hunts). It provides a gathering alternative for friends of Norwich that do not golf.

Fins & Feathers West Coast Cast & Blast: On Sunday, July 23, 2023, Norwich alumni will gather for a fishing excursion from Dana Wharf Sportfishing, 34675 Golden Lantern Street, Dana Point, CA 92629. A new offshore option is available for 2023 - A charter boat will go offshore for a full day and hunt for big fish! Space will be limited!
