What its like to cross the pacific

Real routes. Real sailors. One massive ocean.

There’s nothing like crossing the largest ocean on Earth to remind you how small you are—and how big your dreams can be. From first-timers to seasoned salts, SeaPeople users are out there doing the thing: sailing across the Pacific, tracking every nautical mile, and sharing their stories with the rest of us.

Here’s a peek into six awe-inspiring crossings logged in SeaPeople—each one a testament to courage, preparation, and the magic of life at sea.



Tim & Kelsey on Goose — Panama to the Marquesas

Tim and Kelsey took off from Panama and made the leap to French Polynesia aboard Goose. Their journey is packed with dreamy trade wind days, ocean wildlife, and the kind of calm confidence that only comes with great prep and deep trust in your crew. A classic crossing, beautifully done.

Christy, David & Porter the Pup on Ciao Bella — Hawaii to Alaska

This one’s different—but no less epic. Christy, David, and their seafaring dog Porter tackled the North Pacific from Hawaii to Alaska. Think fog, whales, big water, and a boatload of heart. Their journey proves you don’t have to go west to go bold.

With 3,000 miles of blue ahead, Michele and Rick set sail from the Galápagos to the Marquesas aboard In Cahoots. The result? A beautifully smooth passage, peppered with reflection, rhythm, and the kind of moments that remind you why people chase the horizon in the first place.

Lauren Landers on Soul de La Mar — Panama to Marquesas (Solo!)

A solo Pacific crossing is something special. Lauren’s journey on Soul de La Mar is raw, powerful, and poetic. Every mile is logged by her hand alone—every sail change, every squall, every sunrise. A deeply personal feat that shows just how far one sailor (and one boat) can go.

Ian on Isla — Mexico to the Marquesas

Ian’s crossing from Mexico to the Marquesas aboard Isla was a study in patience, persistence, and the purest kind of passage joy. Long days, longer nights, and that deep sense of peace you only find 1,000 miles from land. This one’s for the true bluewater romantics.
