Top 5 Anchoring Videos

A Cruiser’s favorite four letter F word is free and our Ask Captain Chris YouTube Channel is another free way to learn. Every day we post a short, unedited video of real-world cruising information. Sometimes it’s just a two minute clip showing a beautiful boat underway,  an engine room tour or a look at what went right during a docking maneuver. In other instances we show you what not to do or point out neglected equipment for you to learn more about.

If you are new to our YouTube channel then you may want to poke around a bit and check out our Playlist videos that are grouped together in similar topics. Feel like watching others Dock? are you considering traveling with Pets Aboard? Or maybe you want to learn more about all the Below Deck Systems?  If you do, we have hundreds, yes hundreds of mini-movies for you to learn more about your boating adventure.
