This is life,
not retirement.
Who We Are
YCA is a global tribe of young cruisers, salty vagabonds, and barefoot renegades choosing adventure now—not someday.
We are sailors, dreamers, doers, and modern-day pirates building a life on the water before the world says it makes sense. Through regattas, raft-ups, stories, and community, YCA connects the ones bold enough to trade convention for freedom.
Young Cruiser's Association (YCA) is a collective of young*, salty vagabonds that have found and formed a community of the sea. Whether you are actively seafaring, wayfaring, or daydreaming of such things, there is a place (and a barstool) for you in the YCA. With the young coming together as the YCA, we amp the fun factor, dare each other to take the path less traveled, upset the norm, and fight for important things in the cruising realm.
*young (by YCA definition): those who don’t wait for retirement to start living
