Cruising Lifestyle

A classic white flybridge trawler yacht anchored in a calm body of water with a dark-furred dog peeking over the bow railing, set against a background of colorful autumn trees.

The Dog Who Wouldn’t

Devising a safe, easy way to get our dog on shore from an anchorage required some innovation.

Keeping Yourself Shipshape

Before you go to sea, know how to access telehealth services, acquire medication refills and get medical care.

A high-angle, eye-level shot looking toward the bow cabin of a large white trawler yacht docked in a marina. A worker in dark blue clothes stands atop the cabin roof structure, using a long-handled brush to scrub the fiberglass surface next to a yellow water hose. The boat features a forward-slanted windshield with multiple wipers, a dark wood-planked foredeck, and stainless steel railings. Other luxury yachts are closely docked on either side under a bright, partly cloudy blue sky.

Stain Masters

Black streaks, yellow mustaches and rust all require different solutions to keep a boat looking clean.

The Real Deal

To sell your boat in a buyer’s market, be honest and consider working with a professional broker.

A Thin Space

Cruisers face challenges getting to Princess Louisa Inlet, but it’s worth it to experience this cruising ground’s natural beauty.

Wear Your PFD

This one decision can matter more than any other you make on the water.

Bad Vibrations

Eliminating a boat’s quakes and shakes often requires a thorough inspection of the drivetrain.
