Coastal Passage Cruising (CPC) is TGL’s advanced, next-step cruising course—designed for those ready to move beyond day trips and into true passage-making. These multi-day, liveaboard classes feature several itinerary options, each shaped by its own conditions and weather influences. Across 4 to 7 days aboard vessels up to 58 feet, you’ll sit in the helm seat, manage the planning, and make the decisions that define real extended-cruising experience. 

As 2026 comes into view, the CPC course is nearing completion—and it’s shaping up to be something special. Offered across the entire TGL fleet, with several itinerary routes to choose from, CPC is the natural next step for many of our TGL trawler school graduates. Taught and certified by our US Powerboating Certified Instructors, these on-the-water travel classes depart from our Traverse City docks and are designed to build on everything you learned in BPC, IPC, and NOE. Not a Trawler School graduate yet?
