Who’s behind this

Our story →
Built by Martin & Mandy — a cruising couple from Blackpool
We’re not a faceless content farm. We cruise ourselves, and we built this guide the way we wished one existed: honest, practical, no brochure fluff. Every port combines AI-assisted research with what we’ve learned at sea and feedback from a small group of cruising friends — with plans to open it up to a wider community as we grow.
