The Complete Atlantic Sailing Crew Guide: How to Catch a Ride & Contribute to a Healthier Ocean.
It started with a book
After years and years of hitchhiking 30.000 nautical miles on +/-50 different sailing boats the ocean stole my heart and the drive was there to help other experience ocean magic and lifestyle for themselves. This started with a book called Ocean Nomad. Then the Ocean Nomads community gradually came about connecting readers with vessels, resources and opportunities to get out there. I got my captain license. So I could rent boats, invite people to come sailing and share the magic. Over the years, different sailing trips and meet-ups have been organized and co-organized. And after each event the same conclusion, we got to do more of this! And we got to surround ourselves more with people like this. Gradually Ocean Nomads has been organically growing into a global network of ocean adventurers and changemakers where more and more members take each other out there, team-up, and meet-up for ocean impact and adventure, accelerating dreams and missions. Together. Join the Tribe!

Testimonials
I want all my crew to read Suzanne's book before jumping on board with me.
Keith RileyRetired RYA Instructor Trainer and Sailing School Owner, Liveaboard for +20 years 
"As someone who has no boat, no budget, and no sailing experience, but loves to travel and have a good adventure, this book provided everything the author promises and more. While readers can use this as "guide book" to get a boat and plot an adventure crossing an ocean, it also gives readers an in-depth look at the deteriorating state of our oceans and ways both boaters and sailors and the "landlocked" citizens of earth to improve the quality of our waters.
Brian van DongenAspring Crew 
“A highly organized and helpful book with routes, ports, websites, and even some of the bars you should hang-out or go duckwalking to find your ride. Clear thinking and attention to details make Ocean Nomad useful to any captain or crew for an ocean passage. Her passion for conservation and sustainability offers insight into a ‘vagabond’ lifestyle that is also socially responsible.”
Yachting WorldSailing Magazine 
Suzanne is extremely knowledgable and experienced in all things sailing the Med and Caribbean. She lives her passion to save the ocean everyday. I know this because I sailed with her and lived with her in a house recently where she demonstrated what it means to live a truly sustainable lifestyle that has positive effects towards cleaning up our ocean. Her generosity and enthusiasm is infectious as she provides me with the best advice for helping me in my sailing journey. I will be forever greatful to have met and learnt with this amazing human.

“I can only imagine the amount of time and energy put into gathering the information and writing this book. Full of great photos and heads up calls, plus tons of information for becoming an ocean nomad (or upping your game if you’re already one) … this book is an invaluable resource! It even has a chapter “What to tell mom?” if you’re worried that loved ones might not agree with your plans.
