Gets Added

Approved destinations appear on the interactive map with a marker, popup, and destination card.

Review time: Submissions are typically reviewed within 1–2 weeks. We cannot guarantee every submission will be added — we prioritize destinations with strong sailing relevance, accurate coordinates, and useful descriptions for other sailors. Commercial submissions, pure marinas without cruising context, and duplicate entries may not be accepted.
