Our crew
Hosts, skippers and storytellers
Making Friends Tour is run by a small group of people who spend as much time on or near the water as they can. Between us we cover the three things guests ask about most: what a boat is really like, where to take it and how to look after it.
Everyone on the team shares the same habit — we ask a lot of questions at boat shows and marinas, and then write down the useful answers so you don't have to start from scratch.

How the team works for you
Walkthrough hosts
Hosts lead small groups around boats at shows and owner meet-ups, explaining layouts, systems and handling in plain language. See how walkthroughs work.
Destination scouts
Scouts research harbours, anchorages and seasons, and keep our list of boating travel destinations honest about who each place suits.
Writers & editors
Our writers turn conversations at the dock into guides on safety, maintenance and events.
