Make boatersbox.com your personal start page!

What appears first when you connect to the Internet? Probably your service provider's page, full of information you don't want and links you don't need.

You can change this in a minute or two. Just follow the simple steps below. When you're finished, boaters box.com will appear automatically each time you connect to the Internet -- and you'll get a one-stop quick scan of conditions in your area.

You'll get instant access to the stuff skippers need most -- current winds, seas, tides and weather forecasts in your area, plus local charts for quick reference.  And, of course, handy search tools to help you find virtually anything else on the Internet.

Scroll down to find the Internet browser version you use, then follow the steps below it. (It may help to print this page before you begin.)
