ConnectedCruising

At ConnectedCruising, we have always believed that there is a tremendous opportunity to connect members with businesses that serve the local community. The following advertising products help us achieve this goal while generating the revenue we need to create a sustainable business.

1. Sponsored advertisements: ConnectedCruising displays sponsored content from large regional and national businesses who we believe have valuable products and services to share with ConnectedCruising members.
2. Local Sponsorships: Local service industry experts can promote their listings and advertise their expertise in their zip codes by purchasing a Local Sponsorship on ConnectedCruising.
3. Local deals: Neighborhood businesses can purchase local deals on ConnectedCruising to advertise special offers to ConnectedCruising members in their area.

As always, protecting your privacy is paramount for us. Participating businesses will not have access to your neighborhood conversations or the directory. To learn more, please see our Privacy Policy.

Our mission is to be the central hub for trusted connections and the exchange of helpful information, goods, and services between marina and yacht club members.

We want all members to feel welcome, safe, and respected when using ConnectedCruising.

The crux of our Guidelines can be boiled down to one simple statement: Please Treat Each Other With Respect.

We’ve found that ConnectedCruising portals are most useful when more members join. Here are some tips that should help in growing membership in your marina or yacht club:
Reach out to your most connected members, including:

• Marina Management
• Yacht Club Management and Board Members
• Active Committee Members
• Long Term members and other influential boaters with your marina or club

Consider sharing our introductory PDF and/or Demo Site with neighbors, so they can see the features that ResidentCentral has to offer and gain a better understanding of how your private community portal works.

ConnectedCruising  members are established by the first member of the marina or yacht club, the Founding Member. The Founding Member has the ability to define certain details of your community and invite members to join.

Log into ConnectedCruising and click ‘invite’ – located in the lower left menu. You can invite other members through individual emails or through bulk uploads.
