Exploration: Decide if the Bluewater Life Fits You
A guided path to clarity for aspiring bluewater cruisers: Lifestyle Decision Brief, Bluewater Living, self-paced course, live workshops, Captain’s Minutes, and selected Bluewater Briefings.
The EXPLORATION phase is where many aspiring bluewater cruisers begin. It’s a guided introduction to the realities, rewards, and responsibilities of cruising—built to help you decide, with clear eyes, whether to move forward.
Dreaming is powerful. Deciding requires clarity, education, and support. EXPLORATION is designed to learn as much as we can about each crew member and put together a comprehensive plan individually, and for the group, on moving forward.
NAVOPLAN Exploration Includes:
Introduction
Bluewater Living

A guided path to an informed decision
This offering blends structured learning, personal guidance, and community support to help you understand what the bluewater lifestyle requires—financially, logistically, emotionally, and relationally.
The goal is not to sell you a boat. The goal is to give you the knowledge, tools, and insight to determine whether this life is right for you.
There is no start date and no finish line. Move at your own pace and begin when you are ready. You may participate in the weekly workshop for up to one year.
Your outcome
By the end of Exploration, you will:
- Understand the lifestyle realistically.
- Know your primary constraints and decision drivers.
- Have a clear next-step plan aligned to your goals and readiness.
Begin with clarity. Build readiness. Then decide with confidence.
Pricing
Pricing is shared as part of a preliminary briefing so it can be evaluated in context. NAVOPLAN supports complex, long-term cruising decisions, and most owners find it helpful to understand the approach before assessing cost.
