Adjective

seafaring (comparative more seafaring, superlative most seafaring)

1. Living one's life at sea.
   • 1918, Edgar Rice Burroughs, The Land That Time Forgot Chapter IV

     There was absolutely nothing about the body to suggest that it might possibly in life have known a maritime experience. It was the body of a low type of man or a high type of beast. In neither instance would it have been of a seafaring race. Therefore I deduced that it was native to Caprona--that it lived inland, and that it had fallen or been hurled from the cliffs above.

2. Fit to travel on the sea; seagoing.
   • A rowing boat is not a seafaring craft.
