America’s Great Loop Packing List (Editable + Printable)
Getting ready to move aboard and start your Great Loop adventure? This editable Google Doc takes the guesswork out of what to bring for a full year of life on the water... from the Great Lakes to the Gulf and beyond.
Created by a Looper who’s done it, this checklist covers everything you actually need aboard (and nothing you don’t). Organized by category (galley gear, clothing, safety, first aid, electronics, and more), it’s designed for cruisers preparing for all four seasons.
Easily edit it in Google Docs to fit your own boat and lifestyle, or print it out and check things off as you go.
What’s inside:
-
6 fully editable pages organized by category
- Galley, safety, first aid, and comfort essentials
-
Designed for a one-year Loop season
- Adult and child packing suggestions
-
Based on real experience from 9,000+ nautical miles afloat
Perfect for:

Cruisers planning America’s Great Loop

Anyone who wants to feel prepared before departure
