This is for you if...
You're an aspiring cruiser stuck in research mode—watching videos, hoarding information, and dreaming hard… but not doing.
You’ve been to the boat shows to learn everything you can—where everything’s new and polished—but still haven’t seen what real, lived-on cruising looks like. Nothing felt real.
You know this life is calling. You feel it. But the unknowns are stacking up. And the more you try to figure it out, the harder it feels to move forward.
You want the exact steps and real-world insights to get out cruising—with clarity, confidence, and direction.
This event was designed specifically for you. Cruisers in the making. Dreamers ready to do. This is your chance to finally step into the lifestyle—and see if it’s really right for you.
Whether you’ve followed us for years or just stumbled into the dream, you’ll meet the mentors, veterans, and future crew who will help you stop dreaming—and start living it.
Why You're Still Stuck
You’ve been obsessing over this dream. Watching the videos. Reading the forums. Scrolling listings at midnight.
But deep down… you’re still on land. Why?
Because information overload is paralyzing.
Because every choice feels like a risk.
Because there’s no clear path forward—and that’s terrifying.
You keep thinking:
“Do we wait ‘til we retire?”
“Are we even close to being ready?”
“What if we choose the wrong boat and screw it all up?”
“What if we take the leap… and don’t even like it?
This fear is real—and that’s why this event exists.
We’re not here to sell you the dream.
We’re here to show you what it really looks like—up close, hands-on, and surrounded by people actually living it.
And more importantly: to help you figure out if this is your dream—or just a fantasy that’s keeping you stuck.
Because buying the boat isn’t step one.
Getting clarity is.
