Exploration: decide if bluewater cruising fits you

Step 1: Exploration

This phase is about discovery and fit. Clarify your purpose, constraints, crew alignment, comfort thresholds, timeline, and budget realities.

Exploration helps you make an informed decision about whether—and how—to move forward.

Acquisition: choose a vessel aligned to your purpose and plans

Step 2: Acquisition

Once you decide to move forward, Acquisition turns planning into action: ownership realities, financial considerations, and selecting a vessel that fits your cruising purpose.

The Acquisition phase reduces mismatches by grounding choices in your Exploration inputs.

Step 3: Helm

This is where preparation becomes performance. Helm is focused on vessel readiness, passage discipline, and staying inside safe margins—coastal and offshore.

When the unexpected happens, you can rely on First Mate, Emergency Assistance Coordination, and a Digital Float Plan for added support and peace of mind.
