CRUISING
FEATURED ARTICLES
The Not-So Great Loop
Don’t have time to circumnavigate the whole eastern half of the country? Downsize your dreams!
The Spanish Virgin Islands
Like a schoolgirl with a crush on a imuchacho macho, I'm smitten with Puerto Rico. I've been there three times now, and can't wait to go back.
Mazatlan, Mexico
Fishing is just one of many on-the-water activities you can enjoy here, whether you decide to cruise down the West Coast or fly into this Pacific oasis.
Man-O-War Cay, Bahamas
There's nothing wrong with checking out Man-O-War by motoryacht this April—it's a great idea, in fact. But factor your dinghy or some other small, open boat into the equation somehow.
Southport, North Carolina
I found the town of Southport, North Carolina, somewhat by accident.
Greenport, New York
Although Greenport has become a popular summer escape for weary Manhattanites, its nautical history has not been lost.
New York, New York
I'm a born and bred New Yorker, so perhaps you native Floridians (if there are such things) or Californians may find me biased. But out of all the places I've cruised around the world, there's nothing, absolutely nothing, like New York City.
Penobscot Bay, Maine
You can't even say "August on the coast of Maine" without getting a little dreamy.
Block Island, Rhode Island
Truthfully I'm somewhat loathe to sing the praises of Block Island in September, and it's not because I don't love it there. I do.
Panama City, Florida
I guess there's some disagreement over whether newspaperman Howell Raines actually coined the term Redneck Riviera to describe the swathe of beaches and communities on the southern fringe of Florida's Panhandle.
Key West, Florida
The hot, orange-hued ball in the sky melts into the sea while my eyes record the sky's constantly morphing colors. In this sublime postcard moment, the knots that seemed forever housed in the tops of my shoulders melt.
Staniel Cay, Bahamas
One of the great things about cruising the Exumas is that with so many cays, it's possible to have a different experience every time you go.
Joy (Stick) Ride to Key West
New technology provides a fresh feel to an old passage.
Coaster Cruising
Rollin' around Lake Erie takes on new meaning with a plunge into the regions' famous roller coasters.
Destinations To Die For
PMY editors know a great cruising destination when they arrive at one. Here are a dozen of their favorites.
Plymouth Harbor, Dominica
Dominica has been called "the last gem of the Caribbean" due in large part to the extensive acreage of protected rainforest; but a reputed 365 rivers and its bevy of eco-tourism activities don't blemish this rock, either.
