A magazine cover for Passagemaker featuring the bold headline "EXPEDITION GREENLAND." The cover photo showcases a striking, bright orange long-range expedition trawler navigating vibrant turquoise water dotted with small chunks of floating ice. In the background, a steep, dark rocky mountain rises into low-hanging fog and dense grey clouds. Subtext below the headline reads, "A FAR NORTH CRUISE REVEALS ICEBERGS, SEVERE WEATHER AND NATURE'S STARK BEAUTY." A golden 30th-anniversary logo is displayed in the bottom right corner, just above the issue date "JULY/AUGUST 2026".

Engineers at Pursuit know a few things about boats designed for many purposes. This builder was one of the first to put cruising features on its center console models when demand for the combo really started to pick up steam a decade ago.

Here’s how pointy boats with outboards could make cruising cheap again.

A wide shot of the Tropic Air Rescue team standing together on an airport tarmac between two large blue rescue helicopters. The flight crew, pilots, and medical personnel wear a mix of green flight suits, tan jumpsuits, and polo shirts. In the background, a cloudy sky features a large, semi-transparent watermark logo of a star with wings. Bold, white capital letters overlay the bottom of the image, reading "WHEN MINUTES MATTER."

When Minutes Matter

Island time is great, except in an emergency. This medevac service is for boaters who need help fast.

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.

A wide, eye-level shot capturing a majestic and treacherous Arctic landscape filled with massive white and blue icebergs floating in a calm, dark blue ocean. In the immediate left foreground, a towering wall of sheer ice rises sharply, showing deep fissures and dynamic textures. Behind it, a sweeping, mountainous glacier structure dominates the background under a pale, overcast sky, while a smaller, vibrant turquoise iceberg block sits low in the water on the right, displaying bright, light-refracting edges.

Another Kind of Epic

We follow the path of explorers who ran the Northwest Passage over a century ago, but our journey is a lot more fun

A sunny, medium shot of a smiling young man and woman posing on the bow deck of a boat with their large, fluffy golden doodle dog. The woman on the left wears a white t-shirt, brown shorts, and sunglasses while holding up a yellow triangular "AGLCA" burgee flag featuring a map graphic. The man stands behind her wearing a white t-shirt, brown shorts, a black baseball cap, and sunglasses while cradling the dog. In the top right corner, a round illustrated logo reads "TRAWLER TALK" around a captain's hat. The background shows a calm river or canal bordered by a shoreline with waterfront houses and palm trees under a blue sky.

Keeping Up With The Nietzels

Karly and Evan Nietzel—aka YouTube’s @Navigating Nietzels—tailored their careers for remote work after buying a trawler, moving onboard and completing the Great Loop. Along with their pup, Ripley, they’re just getting started.

A wide, sunny shot of a large, classic expedition-style motor yacht named "Walrus" anchored in calm, shimmering water. The vessel features a cream-colored hull with circular portholes and a multi-level superstructure. It is heavily dressed in festive maritime signaling flags strung from the bow to the tall white main mast. At the stern, both an American flag and a Texas state flag fly prominently from a secondary flagpole. The background features a green, tree-lined shoreline with a glimpse of a waterfront house under a clear, vibrant blue sky.

The Walrus is Ready

This aluminum vessel’s throwback design belies its modern systems, all installed for a Great Loop cruise.

Living off the Grid

A solar-power system on our classic trawler lets us spend time moored or anchored with more than enough juice to meet our energy needs.
