Customer Quotes

Read what some of our satisified customers have said about us:

Derek P: "The simple truth is that most people, like 1 in 1000 actually leave the dock. And, in these economic times, there is NO BETTER time to take a couple years ON (most think of it as off) on the water, on the go, on purpose, to follow your dream. And, Guy and the Real World Cruising staff will reduce the fear and anxiety, explain, through stories, on how to prepare to leave, and LEAVE! I can't imagine leaving the dock without their support, like having an angel on your shoulder."

Mark W: "As it turned out, Guy was much more than my rigger he became my mentor, teacher and cheerleader. Guy has in-depth personal experience with all aspects of cruising boats. In fact, I was telling him about a story I had read about building your own watermaker

Cutting the dock lines

Charting your way through the daily grind and out into the open seas of the cruising lifestyle is anything but easy. Those of us here at Real World Cruising have made the passage in a variety of ways on a variety of boats. We know the shoals, rocks, and reefs that lie between you and the open ocean you seek.

While it is possible for you to get there yourself, it is often slow going. Constantly taking soundings, with many wrong shallow branches, you are likely to spend far more time and money than you need to getting out there. Each delay and frustration decreases the chances that you will actually make it to the open ocean and sailing in paradise.

Let us help you navigate out the quickest, least expensive, and most rewarding channel that there is from where you sit now to cruising your version of paradise. Whether it is exploring the amazing tropical climes of Mexico, the South Pacific, Caribbean or the gorgeous and desolate fjords of British Columbia and Alaska, it is always easier to start the trip with the advice for those who have experience of the waters. 

We are here to help you get out there living your dream. Cutting the dock lines is a right of passage. As such it requires not only the technical know how to have a safe boat but the coaching and understanding of the lifestyle we can provide to have a happy crew.
