Noonsite Information-Sharing Partners

Over the years, Noonsite has built strong relationships with a wide range of organizations and individuals within the cruising community—including cruising associations, grassroots initiatives, marine-service providers, yacht rallies, tourism boards, government agencies, port authorities, and more. These trusted partners play a vital role in keeping our platform accurate and up to date.

Thanks to these collaborative efforts, Noonsite’s small team is able to stay informed about ever-changing regulations, port developments, and key news from across the globe—ensuring cruisers have access to the latest information.

We extend our sincere thanks to all our partners for their ongoing support and dedication to both Noonsite and the global cruising community.

While it’s not possible to link to every contributor, we are pleased to highlight our core partners who continue to provide reliable and timely information for cruisers worldwide.

If you’re interested in becoming an information-sharing partner and helping us keep Noonsite current with updates from your region, please reach out to Sue Richards, Editor of Noonsite, at Editor@noonsite.com.

As part of the World Cruising Club family, Noonsite benefits from direct, on-the-ground feedback provided by World Cruising Club event teams across the globe.

For many years, Noonsite has collaborated with the Caribbean Safety and Security Net to keep cruisers informed about crimes against yachts in the Caribbean basin and to share vital security reports with the cruising community.

Another valued partner in the Caribbean region is Caribbean Compass, a popular magazine among sailors. In addition to sharing news and regulatory updates relevant to visiting yachts, Noonsite contributes a monthly column focused on island formalities.

Doyle Guides provides Caribbean cruisers with detailed harbor and cruising information through their comprehensive printed guides, informative website, and user-friendly app. Noonsite greatly values its collaboration with the Doyle Guides team and appreciates their ongoing support in verifying and sharing accurate cruising intel.

The Ocean Cruising Club (OCC) has been a long-standing information-sharing partner of Noonsite, regularly passing on valuable feedback from its members and drawing on its global network of Port Officers to help address Noonsite’s queries. This relationship became even stronger during the pandemic, as cruising associations, cruiser groups, and Noonsite worked closely together to provide the cruising community with timely updates on border closures and COVID-related regulations.

The Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA) has partnered with Noonsite for over 20 years, consistently sharing valuable insights from its members and Cruising Station Hosts, along with important information about the SSCA’s Clean Wake Program. During the pandemic, SSCA played a key role in the collaborative response team—particularly in the Americas and Caribbean—helping to keep cruisers informed and supported.

The Cruising Association (CA) has supported Noonsite for a number of years, particularly through the expertise of its Regulatory & Technical Services group (RATS) and contributions to almanac updates. In 2024, Noonsite collaborated with the CA to publish a series of guidelines titled ‘How to Navigate Orca Alley’, aimed at raising awareness among cruisers planning passages around the Iberian Peninsula of the CA’s important Orca Project.

The founders of the Ocean Sailing Association of Southern Africa (OSASA) have been trusted cruiser contacts of Noonsite for many years. When OSASA was established in 2020 during the pandemic, Noonsite began working closely with the organization to help publicize its efforts in supporting cruisers navigating the oceans and coastal waters of Southern Africa. In particular, OSASA has done outstanding work in streamlining formalities for yachts visiting South Africa. They continue to provide Noonsite with the latest updates from South Africa and the Indian Ocean region.

Island Cruising NZ and Down Under Rally became close partners with Noonsite during the pandemic, although they have been sharing valuable cruiser intel from the southern hemisphere for several years. Our ongoing collaboration helps ensure that cruisers worldwide stay informed about the latest developments ‘down under’.

Richard Chesher, author of the Rocket Guides to New Caledonia and Vanuatu and a long-term liveaboard in the South Pacific, has been a steadfast supporter of Noonsite for many years. As he continues cruising and updating his guides, Richard regularly shares valuable information with Noonsite, and we greatly appreciate this close collaboration.
