The Cost of Sailing

"A boat is a hole in the water you pour money into — and we wouldn't have it any other way."

Transparency is part of the adventure. This page tracks every dollar we've invested in Pier Pressure — from the moment we first shook hands on the dock to every upgrade, repair, and monthly slip fee since. Real numbers. Real sailing.
