Noonsite Information Sharing Partners

Over the years Noonsite had developed important relationships with numerous cruising associations and their members, cruiser initiatives, magazines, marine-service companies, tourist boards, government offices, port authorities and more – and all have become trusted information sharing partners.

Without these mutual relationships it would be impossible for Noonsite’s small team to stay on top of the ever-changing formalities worldwide, port updates and important news for cruisers.

We would like to thank all our partners for their long-standing commitment to Noonsite and cruisers worldwide.

It’s impossible to link to all that have assisted Noonsite with information over the years, but we include links to our main partners who continue to work with Noonsite on providing trusted information for the cruising community.

If you would like to help Noonsite with current information from your part of the world and become an information sharing partner, contact Sue Richards, Editor of Noonsite at Editor@noonsite.com.

Noonsite has worked for many years with The Caribbean Safety and Security Net to ensure that cruisers worldwide are aware of crimes against yachts in the Caribbean basin and to share important security reports.

Another valued partner in the Caribbean region is the popular magazine for all sailors Cruising Compass. As well as sharing news and changes to regulations in the region for visiting yachts, Noonsite writes a monthly column for Caribbean Compass on island formalities.

Doyle Guides work hard to provide Caribbean cruisers with detailed harbour and cruising information in their extensive printed guides and useful website and App. Noonsite values sharing intel with the Doyle Guides team and their commitment to assisting Noonsite with verifying information.

The Ocean Cruising Club (OCC) have shared information with Noonsite for many years, passing on useful feedback from their members and tapping into their worldwide net of Port Officers to assist Noonsite with queries. During the Pandemic this relationship strengthened when cruising associations, cruiser groups and Noonsite worked closely together to assist the cruising community with the latest information on border closures and Covid rules and regulations.

The Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA) have been involved with Noonsite for over 20 years and continue to share vital intel from their members and cruising station hosts plus valuable information about the SCCA Clean Wake Program. SSCA were an integral part of the Pandemic team, particularly in the Americas and Caribbean region.

The Cruising Association (CA) have assisted Noonsite for a number of years, particularly with knowledge from their Regulatory & Technical Services group (RATS) and Almanac updates. In 2024 Noonsite collaborated with the CA to publish a series of guidelines on “How to Navigate Orca Alley” to make more cruisers planning a passage around the Iberian peninsula aware of the CA’s Orca Project.

The founders of OSASA have been valued, close cruiser contacts of Noonsite for many years. When OSASA was founded during the Pandemic in 2020, Noonsite began working closely with them to publicise their work in assisting cruisers sailing around the oceans of Southern Africa and in its coastal waters and particularly their incredible work in streamlining the formalities for yachts visiting SA. OSASA continue to share the latest information coming out of SA and the Indian Ocean with Noonsite. 

Island Cruising NZ and Down Under Rally became close partners with Noonsite during the Pandemic, but have shared useful cruiser intel from the southern hemisphere for a number of years. Continued collaboration with Noonsite ensures that cruisers worldwide know what’s going on down under.
