About Us
Made by sailors, for sailors.
Sail Crossings was founded by Eric and Mika — avid sailors and cruisers — after completing a one-year sailing adventure with their two young children. Their journey began in Sweden and ended in the United States, with thousands of nautical miles and an unforgettable Atlantic crossing in between.
Like many before them, they started their planning with big dreams and a long list of questions. But finding clear, reliable, and consolidated information about ocean crossings turned out to be harder than expected. Details were scattered across forums, blogs, and outdated guides — often inconsistent and rarely in one place.
There's also a deeper motivation behind it. A certain human instinct. When you complete a passage like this, you want it to matter — to leave a mark. Almost like carving your route into a piece of rock, so it stays there long after you've sailed on.
Short of getting matching tattoos (which was briefly considered), there wasn't really a natural way to do that.
So they decided to build what they themselves had been looking for.
Sail Crossings is designed as a shared knowledge base — whether you're planning your first passage or your twentieth, or simply curious to learn more about offshore sailing from the safety of your own home. The goal is simple: to make ocean crossing information easier to access, easier to compare, and grounded in real experiences — while also giving sailors a way to document and recognize their own crossings, so each achievement can be remembered long after the journey is complete.
