We’re two cruising families who met in the Bahamas during our first season and buddy-boated for the next four years. Between us, we’ve sailed thousands of miles, learned the systems, weathered the surprises, and figured out what actually matters when your boat is your home.
We’re cruisers first, and brokers second, who understand the boats, the lifestyle, and the journey you’re about to take or exit from.
We help buyers find the right boat, avoid costly mistakes, and navigate the journey to boat-life with after purchase support and training. We help sellers position their boats to stand out with luxury real estate-level media and the quality of listing every vessel/family deserves.
Whether you’re stepping into the lifestyle or moving on to your next chapter, we bring real cruising experience and steady guidance through the entire process.
We specialize in selling owner-operated and maintained, cruising-ready vessels. We work closely with each owner to make sure the vessel is fully ready for a smooth handover to the stewards of her next adventure.
Pivot is a heavily refit 2009 Lagoon 500 fully upgraded for long term family cruising. A unique four cabin owner’s version, 2,250W solar, 1,320Ah Victron lithium, a 70 GPH watermaker, updated rigging and sails, modern Raymarine electronics, reinforced bulkheads, and full ship control from the interior nav station are just the beginning…
La Vida Shred is a US imported Leopard 48 we know intimately, having sailed thousands of miles buddy-boating with her previous owners. Rather than sitting at the dock, she’s been actively cruised, continuously upgraded, and meticulously maintained. With a fully modernized off-grid electrical system, exceptional liveaboard features, and an extensive inventory of cruising spares, Shred is the kind of complete and ready-to-go liveaboard boat we cruisers are looking for.

Aloha is a US imported, proven 2013 Leopard 48 extensively upgraded for comfortable, self-sufficient, long-term cruising. With 2,200W of solar, 1,200Ah lithium, a 5kW Victron Quattro, inverter-powered air conditioning, 40 GPH watermaker, modern Raymarine electronics, all-electric galley, massive refrigeration capacity, and a dedicated utility/workshop room, she’s already equipped for serious life aboard…
A rare 5 cabin Owner’s version, S/V Wisdom is quite possibly the only Lagoon 50 on the market that has never been chartered. She has space for the whole family plus guests while giving mom & dad the space they’ve earned. Hydraulic tender life and swim platform, lithium battery bank, massive hard top bimini, and so much more…
Kindred Soul is the cleanest 450F we’ve seen. From the immaculate engine rooms to the clean, crack-free gel coat and excellent condition of cabinetry and joinery, she reflects both light use and meticulous ownership. The current owner has invested heavily in updating her systems and making the vessel turn-key, with a long list of updates in 2025…
Nobody knows this boat better than us! After life plans shifted for her new owners, our (Brandon & Amber’s) beloved floating home for 4 years and 15,000nm is back on the market. She’s never been chartered, never seen a hurricane, and has zero insurance claims. She’s 100% off-grid ready (for reals). This 4-cabin version has over $110K into refit and upgrades from the custom electric galley powered by 3KW of bifacial solar, to a lithium house bank, to the standing rigging and beyond…

We met in 2011 during a flotilla in the British Virgin Islands. Will was working as a skipper. Cat was on holiday from business school. A week on the water turned into a shared life shaped by sailboats, offshore passages, tropical anchorages, and the cruising community.
In the years since, we have spent five years living aboard and cruising full time, logging tens of thousands of sea miles across multiple boats, including a life changing England to Martinique transatlantic crossing. We have experienced the rhythm of life offshore and offgrid and the practical realities that come with it.
Before starting a family, we gravitated toward fast paced, adventurous cruising on our CS36. Later, we welcomed our daughter aboard our Contest 46 and discovered a different kind of voyage. Raising a child at sea from before she could walk reshaped how we think about boats, safety, comfort, and what truly matters in a cruising design. The years spent cruising together as a family are undoubtedly some of the most meaningful of our lives.
Will holds a USCG 100 Ton Master license and spent several years in his early twenties as an IYT sailing instructor, leading liveaboard trips throughout the Caribbean. Those years of professional instruction and skippering, combined with thousands of offshore miles, give him a practical understanding of seamanship, decision making under pressure, and what different crews truly need from their boats.
Will’s career, when not cutting out to cruise or work as a skipper, was in mapping and navigation systems for autonomous vehicles, primarily in project management roles. He also has a deep technical foundation in sailboat systems, maintenance, and refit work. Prior to our last extended cruise, he performed a comprehensive refit of our Contest 46, gaining firsthand knowledge of the costs, tradeoffs, and standards that separate a good boat from a great one. That experience shapes how we evaluate listings and advise clients on ownership.
Before co founding The Cruisers Company, Cat built her career in public relations, marketing, and management consulting. She brings a sharp eye for positioning, communication, and negotiation, along with a clear understanding of how to guide clients through significant decisions with confidence.
We are deeply committed to the cruising lifestyle and the people who choose it. We believe that taking the leap to go cruising can be one of the most rewarding decisions a person or family can make. Our role is to help others make that leap with clarity, preparation, and the right boat beneath them.
Amber and I are the storytellers behind “everyday saturday”, a lifestyle brand that has grown to over 500k people following along as we inspire others to make more moments, more memories, more Saturdays.
As a family of six, we sold everything in 2020, traveled in an RV for a year, then spent four years living aboard our beloved Lagoon 450 catamaran. We sailed thousands of miles, sailed to 21 different countries, and learning firsthand what it actually takes to make boat life work full-time, as a family. I performed my own extensive refit of our Lagoon 450, taking it from factory bare bones to off grid powerhouse with a full electrical and solar upgrade.
I hold my USCG Masters Captain’s License and bring real offshore miles, systems knowledge, fix-it knowledge, and hands-on DIY ownership experience to every client conversation. I understand not just how a boat sails but how to live on it and be a steward of it. From layout functionality to maintenance realities, from survey red flags to long-term cruising viability, my passion is helping buyers choose the right boat and avoid the wrong ones.
Amber’s role has been just as foundational. I couldn’t have done any of it without her! She knows what it means to transition into this lifestyle (and out of it) as a wife, a mother, and the heart of a floating home. From mastering the galley, to provisioning smartly, to mastering the art of sourdough bread, to homeschooling, to building systems that allow a family to thrive off-grid, she brings a perspective that is often overlooked but absolutely essential. She is especially passionate about helping women and moms step into this life with confidence, realistic expectations, and way less overwhelm.
What began as our own leap into the unknown became something bigger. We created Sailing & Boat Life Training Experiences designed for people who felt exactly the way we did before we started: excited, completely overwhelmed, and unsure where to start. We opened up our boat for these 7 day immersive live-aboard experiences and built a full “boat life curriculum”, teaching everything from sailing to passage planning, weather routing to weather patterns, and more.
We’ve now helped others move from “Is this even possible?” to confidently stepping aboard their own vessel.
The Cruisers Co. was born from that same mission, but with the tools for a sharper focus.
To help buyers find the “RIGHT” boats.
To help sellers present their vessels with integrity and standout quality.
And to guide people through one of the most emotional purchases of their lives, into the most incredible journey of their lives, with real-world experience behind every conversation.
We couldn’t be more excited to do all of this with our incredible friends and fellow cruisers, Will and Cat. We started some of the foundation with everyday saturday. But we knew we needed exactly them to help us take this to the next level. Not just because of their extensive knowledge of sailing and systems across all styles of sailboats, but because of the humans that they are. We share the same values and high ethicals standards for ourselves and the way we do business. We’ve seen them in the wild, constantly posturing in humility, putting others before themselves and never holding tightly to things or money. Through our shared ocean experiences we became friends, have become family, and are now launching something incredibly special as business partners…The Cruisers Company!
