From a relaxing waterfront retreat in Charleston and a downtown Sarasota marina to expert underwater services in Chicago and innovative tender-lift solutions, this month’s featured businesses have something to offer Loopers at every stage of their journey. Whether you're looking for a great place to dock, a little peace of mind below the waterline, or an easier way to manage your tender, these businesses are ready to help make life on the Loop a little more enjoyable. Take a look at what they have to offer!

As the Fleet of 2026 makes its way south toward the Gulf and eventually Florida, a familiar set of questions comes up every year. From planning the Gulf crossing to understanding Florida’s registration requirements, finding a place to spend the winter, and navigating this season’s waterway closures, a little preparation can make your Florida adventure much smoother.

From Chicago comfort food to Southern soul food, Cajun flavors, and a little lagniappe along the way.

Planning a stop along the Gulf Coast? Turner Marine, a family-owned boating destination since 1962, offers full-service boatyard facilities, convenient dockage, and a laid-back welcome for Loopers. Plus, they’re serving up a little extra hospitality with a Thanksgiving lunch celebration! Find out more about this longtime AGLCA sponsor.

It’s October and the “You Make the Call” team is gearing up for another Gulf crossing season!
