What makes the list
Selections favor clear sailing context, route or vessel storytelling, and channels that balance adventure with practical detail.
Channels are selected for helping viewers understand the journey, boat, conditions, and decisions behind each passage.
The guide favors sources that include useful context about sailing, maintenance, cruising, or life aboard.
Featured channels offer more than scenery by giving viewers a reason to follow the ongoing voyage.
