Captain’s Tool

Plan your passage from San Diego

Pick a destination, enter your cruise speed and fuel burn, and get time underway and fuel required, with the 20% reserve every professional captain plans on. Distances are open-water rhumb-line routes from Point Loma; Paul ran most of them himself over 18 years at the helm.

Range Matters

Buy the boat that fits your cruising

If the Baja run or the Inside Passage is the dream, range and seakeeping should drive the purchase, not the salon fabric. Paul matches buyers to hulls that can actually make the trips they plan, like the 1,000nm Nordlund 74 Following Sea II.
