Cruising in the Pacific Northwest is a dream for many boaters. Properly equipping your boat can add to the enjoyment and safety of the trip for you and your crew.
Mike Beemer and Mark Bunzel are northwest cruising experts in power and sail.
They regularly lead group flotilla trips to Alaska and other Northwest destinations. They also consult with cruisers on how to equip their boats for an entire season of cruising. Going as far north as Alaska does not require a big boat. Properly equipped, almost any boat can cruise in the Pacific Northwest, even to SE Alaska and back. We regularly advise cruisers on how to cruise in the Northwest, whether it is a 22 foot C-Dory or Cutwater, or a 70’ power or sailing yacht.
