EXPLORATION: Is the Cruising Lifestyle Right for You?
Cruising is rewarding—and demanding. It is not for everyone, and it does not suit every partnership, timeline, or temperament.
Our goal in this phase is to help you make informed decisions. We focus on:
PURPOSE which drives every choice you make offshore.
COMFORT thresholds which help you feel safe.
PACE where crew, weather, and conditions determine passages.
CREW alignment to make passages enjoyable and safe.
Cruising Lifestyle Decision Brief
Answer a short set of questions and receive a preliminary brief highlighting alignment strengths, potential friction points, and topics worth deeper discussion.
ACQUISITION: What Vessel Fits Your Purpose?
The “best” boat is rarely the right boat.
ACQUISITION helps prospective vessel owners move beyond listings and opinions by leveraging EXPLORATION learnings and focusing on:
Intended Cruising Style which determines vessel type, size, systems, and capability.
Destinations and Environments which dictate hull form, range, and redundancy.
Crew Experience which shapes complexity, workload, and acceptable risk.
Cost to obtain the right vessel, sustain ownership, and recover when returning to shore.
Purpose-Driven Vessel Fit Brief
Provide a small number of inputs and receive a preliminary brief outlining vessel classes that fit your goals, common mismatches to avoid, and questions to resolve before purchase.
PASSAGE MAKING: How Do You Consistently Achieve Safer Passages?
Safe passages are not achieved by confidence alone. They succeed through preparation, good decision-making, and operating within the margins.
The platform integrates multiple functions and services to achieve safer passages. Primary functions include:
Vessel specifications and maintenance operations management to reduce unforeseen issues at sea.
Crew preparation and monitoring while underway to minimize disruptions and enable comfortable passages.
Passage planning at every phase to proactively increase safety and comfort for the crew.
Shore Support when unexpected events occur with Emergency Assistance Coordination.
