Take the Stress Out of Provisioning • Plan, Track, and Shop with Ease

Provisioning for longer trips doesn’t have to be overwhelming. This editable spreadsheet simplifies the process, helping you determine exactly how much of each item to buy -- no guesswork or stress.

You input your preferences, and it does the math, saving you time and stress. Designed specifically for cruisers, it helps you ensure your pantry is ready for adventure, even when you’re far from a grocery store.

Perfect for pantry-style provisioning (not meal planning), this tool keeps things simple, efficient, and adaptable to your needs.

Looking for more in-depth guidance on how to choose provisions, plan meals, reduce waste, and successfully store your food? Check out our Provisioning, Meal Planning, and Food Storage course. You’ll learn how to confidently provision for your boat, shop smarter, and avoid spoiled food—so you can focus on enjoying your adventures.

What You Get • Streamline Your Provisioning

✔ Editable spreadsheet tailored for long-term cruising
✔ Detailed, step-by-step instructions (no spreadsheet skills required!)

Great way to see what you have on board

I am use to doing inventories and I do appreciate the form you have put together. There are a lot of things I may not but there are a lot of things that I hadn’t thought about. Thanks

Provisioning

I am just starting out and keen to have any information on provisioning - can’t add anything but will be great to have a list to work from when we move aboard in June 2024

have not received my spreadsheet

We sent another copy to Frank immediately when we found out! The link to download comes at checkout and also by email but sometimes the email one can end up in a spam folder.
