The CompassInner Circle

The ultimate supporter experience. Compass members receive everything from previous tiers, plus direct access to the crew through monthly live Q&A sessions where you can ask anything and get real answers in real-time. Every quarter, you'll receive an exclusive 15-20 minute mini-documentary diving deep into topics we can't cover publicly—technical boat work, extended crew interviews, expedition planning, and our most memorable moments.

Best for: Dedicated supporters who want direct crew interaction and premium exclusive content.

What You Get

Here's everything included with your The Compass subscription:

Access to supporter newsletter

Receive our exclusive monthly newsletter delivered straight to your inbox. Each edition includes personal updates from the crew, candid photos from daily life aboard, upcoming voyage plans, and reflections on the challenges and triumphs of building and sailing a boat together. You'll be the first to know about major milestones, port arrivals, and the stories that don't make it to social media.

Name on supporter wall

Your name will be permanently displayed on our digital Supporter Wall—a living tribute to everyone who helped make this voyage possible. Visible on our website for all to see, your contribution becomes part of the project's history. You'll also receive a personalised digital certificate acknowledging your support, perfect for framing or sharing.

Early access to films & journals

Get exclusive early access to our documentary footage, video diaries, and written journals before they're released to the public—typically 2-4 weeks ahead. Watch rough cuts of our films and provide feedback that shapes the final edit. Read unfiltered crew journals documenting everything from navigation challenges to unexpected encounters. This is your window into the authentic, unpolished reality of life at sea.

Invite to private live Q&A streams

Join our intimate monthly live Q&A sessions broadcast exclusively for premium supporters. Connect directly with the crew in real-time as we answer your questions about boat life, our destinations, technical sailing topics, or anything else on your mind. These sessions are limited to keep them personal—you'll have genuine conversations, not just a face in a crowd. Sessions are recorded for those who can't attend live.

Quarterly behind-the-scenes mini-docs

Every three months, receive an exclusive 15-20 minute documentary short crafted just for our top-tier supporters. These mini-docs dive deep into topics we can't cover elsewhere: the technical intricacies of boat maintenance, extended crew interviews sharing personal stories and motivations, detailed expedition planning sessions, and intimate moments from our most memorable experiences. This is premium content that captures the soul of the project.
