Training ends at the dock. The sailing doesn't.

Most courses hand you a certificate and a wave goodbye. The MOS Family is what happens after - a community of sailors who keep going, keep learning, and keep each other honest about what's out there.

From your first free NauticEd lesson to your tenth charter, you belong here.

The Orca doesn't hunt alone

MOS stands for My Own Sailboat. But what it means is something else - a pod of sailors who chose the water over the ordinary, and who don't disappear when the course ends.

What you get when you are part of the pod.

The MOS Family is sailors at every stage - beginners asking their first questions, experienced skippers planning their next passage, people somewhere in between figuring out whether Greece or Croatia makes more sense for June.

Captain Mike is in here too.

What membership means:

Someone to ask when you are not sure - before, during, or after a trip Honest advice on destinations, boats, and timing Flotilla invitations when they come together Seasonal updates from Beautiful BC and the Sea of Cortez. Monthly seamanship insights from the nav table. A community of people doing exactly what you are doing.

The support doesn't stop at the dock.

Training gives you the foundation. What you do with it is the rest of your life.

The MOS Family keeps you moving - new destinations, new certifications, new trips with people you trust. When you are not sure about a routing decision at 2am, or you want a second opinion on whether conditions are right, you have somewhere to turn.

Help choosing your next destination honestly Flotilla options for small-group travel Weather and planning explained in plain language Guidance before, during, and after every trip SLC renewal support if you need it

You are never out there alone. That is the point.

Where the MOS Family sails.

MOS sailors are out there right now - bareboat chartering through the BVI, anchored in the Sea of Cortez, sailing the Croatian coast, exploring the Greek islands, working their way through the Pacific.

Some are on their first charter. Some are on their tenth. Some left their careers behind and are living the cruising lifestyle full-time.

Beautiful BC - where most of us learned to read the water Sea of Cortez - our winter home Greece, Croatia, Italy - Mediterranean summer circuits BVI, Bahamas, Caribbean - warm water, steady winds Thailand, Seychelles - for sailors who keep going

Gear for the MOS Community

The Orca Series is made for the same water we sail in. Designed and sourced in BC - built for real conditions, not trade show floors.
