Words from our cruisers.

From Limited Knowledge to Setting Sail

Bluewater Cruising has been an invaluable resource for us as we transitioned from having limited knowledge of full-time cruising to successfully buying a boat and setting sail. This isn't just another course. It offers comprehensive guidance on a wide range of topics that truly prepares you for success. From overcoming initial fears, to navigating relationships with your partner, learning essential life skills while abroad, maintaining your boat, and especially during the boat-buying process, Bluewater Cruising covers it all. I can't recommend them highly enough. We wouldn't be out here without their support!

A Lagoon 380 They Almost Talked Themselves Out Of

My only concern was the finances. We talk about it all the time — that has saved us. It could have saved us $100,000. We would not be sitting here in this boat without you. You're going to save more money than you're going to spend. It's the community — Chris, Lorelei, Keith, everybody that's a member. That's the best part.

Chris was incredible from start to finish. He flew out to inspect the boat with us, joined our survey, and saved us from making a $40k mistake on an engine issue we never would have caught.

27 Years a Dream — Now Setting Sail Sooner Than Planned

My husband and I have had a sailing/cruising dream for 27 years, so when we discovered BWC and joined its coaching/education program almost two years ago, we were set on a solid path to reach our goal. As it turns out, with the help of BWC, we are planning to set sail sooner than originally planned! Every team member with BWC is so knowledgeable, and passionate, about the cruising lifestyle, and they have the coolest, most helpful boat broker who assisted us in finding the perfect boat for us. What's more, this is a community of like-minded people all working towards an extraordinary life. I have nothing but good things to say about BWC.

I wouldn't have bought the boat without BWC. They joined my survey and helped me understand the impact of each individual list item. They dealt with all the problems I would have been lost on otherwise.

We've had a dream of living on a sailboat for over 10 years. 9 months ago we made the decision to get some help to make our dreams a reality. Now I'm sitting on my floating home watching the sunset in the Bahamas. If it weren't for Blue Water Cruising I have no doubt I either wouldn't be here right now or I would have made some very costly mistakes. The support and guidance of the BWC community has helped make our dreams come true. We wish we had done it sooner.

From Apprehension to Anticipation

A Community That Catches You

The Bluewater Cruising group has helped us fulfill a lifelong dream of owning our own boat, sailing to where we want to go, and explore. The community prepares you step by step of what to expect and how to overcome your fears and any obstacles holding you back. The weekly zoom calls introduce you to others wanting to achieve similar goals. We have already made so many friends and have been sailing with buddy boats from our group. If you have any boat issues, which you will, you can post it in the forum and many will reply to help resolve the problem. So if you are on the fence about sailing, take a deep breath and go for it!

The education program alone is worth the membership. Took us from zero to "ready to shop" in four months. Highly recommend.

Five Months In, Actively Looking for a Boat

Our experience with Bluewater Cruising has been very good all around. We came in with a goal and energy, but virtually zero experience and knowledge. There is a very active and supportive online community within BWC, there are scheduled group calls to address any questions which the community and experts answer, and there are technical calls where an expert on a topic in cruising is brought in to discuss and educate. If we had not found BWC our journey would have taken years to get out on the water. We are 5 months in and are actively looking for a boat to buy with a boat buying agent through BWC.
