Our Vision
Content, Communications, and Community
Years of experience with piloting boats in home ports and far from home have shown me the value of being closely involved with the boating community. Lessons learned, information gained, favors given and received, and the sense of belonging are part of the experience that makes boating so rewarding and so fun. As cruising took me farther away I began to explore how the boating community could be expanded, allowing anyone to tap into its vast resource no matter where they were. These explorations led me to ActiveCaptain, a place which brings boaters and boating knowledge to you, anywhere, anytime.
Content
ActiveCaptain allows boaters to share the vast content of knowledge and experience that each Captain has amassed. The key to ActiveCaptain's content is the ability of registered users to communicate corrections, update information, and create reviews. Fellow cruisers can provide information about fuel pricing, slip fees, a favorite anchorage, or some local knowledge. As a registered Captain you can read marina reviews written by other Captains, helping you to select one that will best meet your needs. You can write your own review, add a new point of interest, or correct inaccurate information. You add to the content and benefit from the content provided by others.
Communications
It's clear that the content is valuable. But without the ability to access the content when and where you need to, it is of little value. ActiveCaptain will also offer information and access to products you need to ensure you can communicate with the ActiveCaptain community wherever you are. This will include basic to advanced how-to information, suggestions and experiences of other Captains, and information on available commercial products. Let ActiveCaptain help you to "Go Mobile" whether you're cruising on your boat, planning a future trip, or dreaming about your next adventure.
Community
The sharing of your knowledge and information creates an online community of fellow boaters. People from around the country or even around the world will share in your love of the water and will provide information, opinions and insight. Registration on the ActiveCaptain web site is free. We feel this is critical to building the community. We also feel that it is important to acknowledge the contributions of our Captains in making this community successful.
So I hope that you will become a part of the ActiveCaptain community. And I'll keep a watch out for you along the waterways!
