OUR STORY
With 25 years of experience under his belt, Matt had accumulated a wealth of knowledge that he wanted to share with others who shared his love for boating. With a vision in mind, he started My Cruiser Life to provide practical advice on boats, covering topics such as types of boats, essential boat parts, and the best gear and accessories. He wanted to help fellow boaters make informed decisions and enhance their boating experiences.
As My Cruiser Life gained traction, Matt already knew that boating was not just about the technical aspects; it was a way of life. Inspired by his own experiences of living on a boat and the incredible adventures he had while traveling, Matt decided to expand the scope of MCL. He began sharing stories of his life on a boat, the challenges and rewards it brought, and the freedom and serenity that came with being on the water.
