The fleet

Free entry, same spirit

Puddle Jumpers are adventurous sailors from around the world, drawn together by a love of the ocean and a spirit of exploration.

With free entry in 2027, the fleet is open to every crew. Crews introduce themselves, share departure plans and swap advice in the PPJ Facebook group, the fastest way to find buddy boats. Or let us introduce you directly to crews with the same plans.
