We’re Lucy and Matt, and we founded Boat Life Academy to give you the confidence to enjoy your first year of cruising. We're both career educators, professional pilots, avid boaters, and full-time cruising liveaboard boaters.

Boat Life Academy’s courses are designed to help new cruisers master the first year of living on a boat. The purpose is to help boaters enjoy it a little bit more.

We aim to give people a place to learn what they need to know without any BS.
