What we’ll cover

What it costs to get in, to live, and to get out

Your entry, lifestyle and exit costs: what it takes to get out there, what it costs month to month, and what it costs to come back to land life. Plus the costs people forget to budget for.

FAQ

Everything you need to know before you reserve your spot

Who is this workshop for?

Aspiring cruisers who are working out how to pay for the boat and the lifestyle. Whether you are still working, boat-shopping, or already preparing to leave, you will leave with a clearer way to weigh cash against financing for your own situation.

Do I need to be financing a boat?

No. The workshop covers both sides, so you can decide whether cash or financing suits you before you commit to either.

Do I need to own a boat already?

No. Many people get the most value before they buy, because getting the funding decision right first can save you from an expensive, hard-to-undo one.

What do I get?

Your seat at the live, online workshop, including the live Q&A where you can ask about your own situation. It's a live-only session, so plan to attend in real time.

What if I can't make this date?

Life happens. Email us before the event and we'll work with you. This is a live-only workshop with no replay, so we want to make sure you actually get to experience it.

Will there be time for questions?

Yes. The workshop includes a live Q&A, so you'll have the chance to ask about your own timeline and situation.

Is this financial advice?

No. This workshop is educational. We are not lenders or licensed financial advisors, and nothing said is a recommendation to borrow, invest or buy. Any loan, tax or investment decision should be made with your own licensed professional, based on your own circumstances.
