Owning a boat will test your patience, your wallet and your resolve—and it’ll be the best decision you ever made.

Every trip yields something to add to my list—sometimes the easy way, sometimes the hard way, and always with a good story.

Today, many cruisers are embracing performance—not for trophies, but to sail smarter, better, and farther than ever.

No matter how advanced your boat or gear, when it comes to cruising, the most valuable tool aboard is a well-educated sailor.

Sailors are pushing the limits of comfort and safety, exploring farther offshore with new, performance-driven designs.

On our 50th anniversary, the Cruising World community continues to revel in the joy of the journey more than anything else.
