Welcome to What Yacht To Do, a Great Loop Documentary. Today, Sam will walk and talk and show you some looper boats that we saw when visiting Windmill Harbor on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.
If you are planning your Great Loop Journey, use our online courses to help you: greatloopacade...
We have cruised around America's Great Loop twice and selected a 1999 Carver 504 named the Here's To Us!! as our Great Loop boat. So much goes into Great Loop planning and we share every trip with you. Welcome aboard!
Here are a few resources that we used for our trips: www.whatyachtt...
We started the Great Loop on May 15, 2019 and completed our Gold Loop journey on August 30, 2020. You can see our entire trip here: www.whatyachtt...
We started our second loop on September 2, 2020 and you can follow our route here: www.whatyachtt...

Hi guys!! We can't wait to check out that area next Spring!! Those bird sounds...so pleasant in the background 😍 ❤Great video about different boat options for the loop!

@WhatYachtToDo 8 месяцев назад

It's such a great Marina! Also, the South one is like a resort with restaurants 😎

@stevep0726 Год назад

Hilton Head great place to stop when on the loop also a great place to visit if not on the loop

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Agree totally 😎

@buckpowers4837 Год назад

Merry Christmas y"all and enjoyed the marina and the boats and the sounds that go with it. Would love the warmth right now.

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Thanks Buck, Hope yours was Merry and have a Happy New Year 🎉

I've lots of fond memories of Hilton Head: visited the island many weekends when I wanted to get away from Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. 😜

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Great place. Thanks for your service in the Marines! Sam was USAF for 23 years!

Would you consider the Hunter 50cc, with its wing keel at 5.50 draft, a reasonable boat for the Great Loop. I admire the Hunter design and the 50 cc, is perfect to the Mrs., and myself for long term cruising. We'd like to do the Great Lopp aboud the Hunter 50 cc.

@WhatYachtToDo 8 месяцев назад

The Hunter 50 CC is a fine-looking boat and very spacious. However that draft of 5 1/2 ft is going to be very very limiting. We know people who did it in boats with a 5 foot draft and they end up bumping the bottom quite a bit. The canals would be almost undoable once you get over 5 ft. Particularly parts of the Trent and Erie. We do have an online course available that will allow you to understand the journey, the boat, the crew, and living aboard. We do discuss the different types of boats to include sailboats and give examples. It's available at www.GreatLoopAcademy.com. we also have a free newsletter on that you can sign up for where we give tips and techniques about the loop. It's great to have you onboard. 😎

@strikeryachts 11 месяцев назад

I did it in 1997 took 75 days with a few delays. You really want wide side decks and easy on off at the docks.

@WhatYachtToDo 11 месяцев назад

For Sure!

Merry Christmas from western PA

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Thanks Rus, Hope yours was Merry and have a Happy New Year 🎉

@michiganengineer8621 Год назад

Merry Christmas to you and yours! I'd love something like the Aquila 36 to do the Loop in. You have the stability and maneuverability of a cat, but I believe the 36 is a narrow enough beam to fit into a standard slip.

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Thanks, Hope yours was Merry and have a Happy New Year, I have been on the 36 and it's a really nice boat!🎉

@timswope8423 Год назад

Marry Christmas!

Nice walk around. Can a boat with a 5' draft successfully navigate the northern region of the Great Loop in Canada and the NY State region (specifically the Erie, Rideau, and Trent-Severn Canals as well as Georgian Bay)? Thanks!

@WhatYachtToDo 5 месяцев назад

5' is pushing it. The Rideau will have you sign a waiver. I also believe the Trent is that way, too. Ours was 4.5 and it was dicey at times. You may want to take our courses at Great Loop Academy to learn about other restrictions. 😎 Sam and Rev www.GreatLoopAcademy.com

@Tnapvrvideo 5 месяцев назад

Thank you! I will most certainly involve myself in your courses. That was my plan at the outset. I think we will shift our attention toward a different boat on our short list. The other boat atop our list in a tie has a 4.5' draft. That will have to do. We'll carry less fuel, if necessary, to lessen the draft somewhat and add to the Air Draft which has ample space.

@rusdavies3831 Год назад

Beautiful marina, thanks for the tour. Does the lock compensate for the tide or it mostly to control access?

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

It controls the water level to keep it somewhat constant. 😎

@rusdavies3831 Год назад

That is a Cardinal calling as you walk along.

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Sweet!

@stevep0726 Год назад

Windmill Harbor another great place on Hilton Head

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Absolutely a must stop! Happy New Year 🎉

@rogergiddy2634 Год назад

Grand Banks 51 a great boat to do the loop

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Wonderful boat!

@stevep0726 Год назад

44 Swift Trawler great boat to do the loop in. Just need to decide if you want to go slow or fast

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

😎 Has a lot of flexibility for sure!

@phoenixarizona8441 Год назад

Same a awesome great loop boat 1990 harbor master 520 coastal or a 1990 Sea Ray 390 we've had both growing up Harbor Master 520 coastal was in Tennessee the Sea Ray 390 in Michigan out of south haven Michigan

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Both great boats! I've been on a 390 and also the big sister (480). Will have to look at the Harbor Master. Thanks for the heads up 🙂

@teachingrounds Год назад

Hope you both are doing well :)

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Thank you. Great to have you onboard with us! 😎

@willjames2225 Год назад

I live in Beaufort county north of the broad❤

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Beautiful country and people there!

@toddjcollins88 Год назад

We have a 61 sportfish. Can you do the great loop in a sportfish?

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

It can be done! If the draft is 5' or under, no problem. You might have some challenges in some areas with finding marinas, but DO IT!

@simon-oy6um Год назад

That pirate ship is a formosa 🤫😑

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Thanks

@ironichumorist Год назад

i lived in hilton head for a couple years. went to the parade of homes a windmill harbor. great area but it has become slightly commercialized abd greatly over priced because of yankees retiring and moving south. still a beautiful place.

@WhatYachtToDo Год назад

Ye, it's beautiful there! Hope yours was Merry and have a Happy New Year 🎉

@ATAP...AnotherTime 5 месяцев назад

The loop is a big waste of time and gas... No logical reason to do it... Shop at Walmart and drive 8 hours a day for 6 months.

@WhatYachtToDo 4 месяца назад

Bless your heart. Suggest you stop wasting your time following loop boats and journeys. Have a nice day!

Take your time and enjoy life little angry bro. 😂 you don’t have to rush it in a few months. I know people who’ve done it in a year and such. Sorry bro that you can’t afford to do it. You’re mad and angry and your first thing you brought up was fuel.
