At Cruising Yacht Services, based in Brunswick, GA, we offer products, consulting services, local sail training lessons aboard your boat, and specialize in outfitting smaller sailboats for extended offshore cruising. As of 2024 I am only working part time on selected projects and we’re currently not taking on more work. I do remain available for consulting on your projects.

It may take someone years to learn what improvements and modifications their boat needs for comfortable and safe cruising. Besides knowing what equipment is desirable to have and how to use it, it’s also important to learn what you don’t need. The standard cruising reference books are helpful, but don’t answer all questions relating to your particular boat, your experience level, and your specific cruising goals. Online research and forums are great but sometimes too many conflicting opinions add to the confusion. For many years I have worked with people new to cruising to help them realize their dreams sooner rather than later. Whether you learn from others or do it mostly on your own, my advice is to begin your journey today!
