December 2025 Great Loop Link

If you are cruising the Great Loop during the holiday season, you might be wondering how to capture familiar traditions aboard your boat. You are away from the routines you once relied on, and your family may be gathered somewhere you are not. Your onboard space is far smaller than a house. But celebrating from the water can be wonderful when you embrace the moment rather than trying to duplicate every detail from life on land.

There are countless moments during your Loop when friends and family may want to join you onboard—cruising past the Statue of Liberty, riding across the Big Chute Marine Railway, or taking a side trip into Nashville. But no time draws loved ones more than the holiday season. The desire to gather with family doesn’t disappear just because you’re several hundred miles from home, enjoying docktails under the Florida sunshine.

We've got all the best Great Loop gifts this holiday season!
