FAQ
Before you reserve your spot
Who is this for, and who isn't it for?+
Aspiring and early-stage cruisers who want the real picture on the boat, the money, and the life. Not for casual dreamers, or full-time cruisers who already have a dialed-in plan.
Will this tell me exactly what cruising costs?+
You'll get realistic ranges and how to think about your own numbers, not one generic figure that ignores your boat, style, and situation.
Is this a sales pitch?+
No. It's a paid educational workshop built to deliver real value. We may mention next-step support for those who want it, but there's no pressure.
What if I can't make this date?+
Email us before the workshop and we'll work with you. It's live-only with no replay.
Stop waiting. Start this Thursday.
Thursday, July 30. 7:30 PM ET. 90 minutes, live with Q&A. $29 per person.
