Coastal Cruising 101. Peter Nielsen. Updated: Jul 12, 2024. Original: Jul 27, 2015. Many sailors are surprised to find how easy a bluewater passage (usually) is compared to a long coastal cruise. The variables in an offshore passage are few. Providing you've prepared your boat well, done your homework and are heading in the desired direction ...
What is a pocket cruiser? It's a small trailerable sailboat, typically under 30 feet in length, that's ideal for cruising big lakes, bays, coastal ocean waters, and occasionally bluewater cruising. Pocket cruisers are usually more affordable, compact, and offer a level of comfort that's comparable to bigger liveaboards.
Overall, judge Ed Sherman thought its stated purpose—"a family coastal cruiser"—was an honest and straightforward one. The Sun Odyssey 380 is the fourth boat in Jeanneau's line of cruising sailboats to employ the walk-around deck that has earned a host of awards and recognition in Boat of the Year circles. Rather than having to climb over the coaming to reach the deck, the side deck ...
The Most Popular Cruising Sailboat. The Island Packet 420 and Lagoon 450F are the two most popular cruising sailboats known for their comfort, seaworthiness, and versatility. The Island Packet 420 is a well-regarded cruising sailboat that has a loyal following. It is known for its spacious interior, comfortable accommodations, and good sailing ...
The Corbin 39 is a beautiful blue water sailboat. It is a very rare boat with a proud history. Only a handful of these boats were finished to completion in the factory, the majority were sold as kits and built by the boat's owner. Because of this method of production, this model can vary drastically on the inside.
A sailboat between 30 and 40 feet is considered an ideal size for coastal cruising. Boats in this size range are large enough to offer comfortable accommodations for several people, yet small enough to be easily handled by a couple or a small crew. They are also more affordable than larger sailboats.
Another day, another adventure for this thin-water sailor. Beach-cruising or sailing-camping boats come in all shapes and styles, ranging from one-design sail trainers like the Flying Scot, Hobie 16 and Wayfarer 16 to more cruising-oriented craft, like the Hobie Mirage trimaran series, the NorseBoat line or the UK-built Cornish Shrimperseries.
As with all of Lyle Hess designs, the Balboa 26 statistics reveal the underpinnings of a seaworthy coastal cruiser. The Balboas 3,600-pound displacement includes 1,200 pounds of ballast, by no means a lead mine, but the B26s 8-foot beam was carried well aft, and its reasonably full sections contributed form stability and helped make the little sloop a seakindly performer.
Jeanneau's new 2022 Sun Odyssey 380 sail boat is a bluewater cruising capable vessel with a base price of $237,000 that is on a short list candidate for couples and families looking to escape onto the water for day sails or extended coastal cruising.

The J/95's retractable centerboard and dual rudders make it possible to sail in just 3 feet of water. During our dockside visit, designer Rod Johnstone told us that he wanted to build a comfortable coastal cruiser that could keep people sailing by providing "high performance in shallow water," and the J/95 did exactly what Rod said it would.
Pocket cruisers and yachts are great boats for those seeking offshore, overnight adventures or just a weekend day cruise with friends or family. ... 36 features a single, main-living area from bow to stern, helped in part by the vessel's 14-foot, 7-inch beam. The boat can comfortably seat up to 20 guests for fun on the salt. Several Mercury ...
Dufour Grand Large 360. Dufour Grand Large 360 Jon Whittle. Dufour Yachts introduced its new 360 Grand Large model to CW's Boat of the Year team in 2018 as a coastal cruiser intended for a couple or perhaps a small family. With that in mind, judge Alvah Simon found numerous clever elements to praise within the boat's 35-foot-2-inch hull—a ...

When working or moving around on deck try to keep "three points planted.". Use a hand, your feet, knee, elbow, or hip to brace yourself like a tripod, and keep your weight as low as possible. Harnesses and tethers used in conjunction with well-placed jacklines help keep people on board while allowing freedom of movement around the boat.

A 2022 Ranger Tug R31 cabin cruiser running on the water. Photo via Ranger Tugs. Cruisers typically measure between 25 to 45 feet in length, although smaller models (pocket cruisers) can be as short as 17 feet. The largest models on the market can be up to 50 feet long, although the larger models are often referred to as motor yachts.
Another long-lived boat that's achieved near-cult status is the West Wight Potter, which comes in 15ft, 19ft and now 20ft versions. The Voyager 20 is a foot longer than the Potter 19 upon which it's based, with a beefed-up build and rig, a fixed ballast keel and a more generous inventory to match its long-distance coastal cruising brief. Potter owners have undertaken some impressive ...
Elan 295. In many ways this 29-footer is a lovely size for coastal cruising - small enough to slip easily into the tightest of gaps in a marina, yet large enough to make sensible speed on passage, give a feeling of security at sea and provide civilised two-cabin accommodation. The 295 is easy to sail, with light loads in the deck gear, which ...
