- Weekend and seasonal cruising
- Couples and families sleeping aboard
- Lakes, rivers, ICW, and protected coastal routes
- Intermediate to experienced cruisers
Size options
- Trailerable cruisers
- 25–30 ft — weekend lake and river cruising
- Mid-size cruisers
- 31–40 ft — coastal and ICW capable
- Large cruisers
- 41 ft+ — extended cruising and liveaboard
