How long does it take to complete the Great Loop?
It is hard to put a timeframe around the Great Loop. The actual length of time it takes to complete will depend upon the individuals making the trip, what type of vessel is used, how many side trips are taken, the extent of site seeing done, etc. While there are many who do the entire Loop at one time, there are also those who break the trip into stages and Loop over multiple years. Regardless, whether Looping all at once or in phases, the most common advice give by those who have completed the voyage is to “go slow.” Allow sufficient time to see and experience all the Great Loop has to offer. Remember, Looping is not a race, it’s a journey.
