Start with what you know

What kind of boat are you looking for?

B-Atlas is a community-powered boat knowledge and research resource. Compare cruising boat models, understand specifications and trade-offs, and use reviewed owner knowledge to make better buying decisions. Start by working out what you need, or go directly to the boats if you already have a good idea.

Plan your boating

Understand what you want from a boat

Work through the questions before searching. Firm requirements remove known poor fits; preferences improve ranking; unknown information remains visible.

Step 1 of 6

Where do you expect to cruise?

Broad cruising areas help you think about weather, range, shelter and local boating style. They do not remove models. Select the closest match, or choose Other to continue without using this choice as a filter.

Great LakesLarge open water, changing weather and a need for capable, comfortable cruising. Local lakesShorter trips, nearby shelter and easier access to fuel, docks and service. Pacific NorthwestCool-weather cruising, tides, currents, protected passages and longer distances. CaribbeanWarm weather, ventilation, sun protection, anchoring and open-water passages. New England & North AtlanticCooler water, fog, exposed coastlines, tides and variable sea conditions. Other / not sureNo filtering. Continue learning without committing to a cruising area.

Specific waterways with hard limits Optional

Select these only when you expect the model to use that waterway. Bridge clearance, locks, draft or range may exclude known poor fits.
