Partners in crime and those we couldn't do without

Over the past two decades, Noonsite has been the cruising yachtsman’s primary source of worldwide cruising information, including a wealth of up-to-date information on practically every country of interest. As the only source on the web for detailed information on country formalities and what to expect when you first arrive in a foreign port, plus port and marina information, a wealth of reports from cruisers and the latest cruising news, Noonsite should be bookmarked as every skipper’s favorite.

 NOFOREIGNLAND is a resource for information on anchorages mostly.  It is run by Steve and Helena who are themselves liveaboards.  there goals are that:

  • Sailors should be able to share information.
  • You should be able to see where your friends are at any time.
  • Make life sociable: join groups or simply chat with other cruisers.
  • We permit no advertising or spam on our site.

Navily.com is basically another version of NoForeignland.com but more commercial.  It has a phone app and you can book marina’s through its interface and other services.  But the community is strong and well supported with comments and updates for anchorage, marina’s et al.
