We’re Josh and Kat, a couple who traded the conventional life for an adventure at sea. Aboard our 45ft Jeanneau Sun Kiss sailboat, Phoenix, we’re on a mission to explore the world’s most remote and stunning locations.
From crossing open oceans to discovering hidden anchorages, we’re embracing the challenges and rewards of life on the water. Our journey is all about freedom, connection, and living close to nature. Whether it’s surfing, spearfishing, or freediving, we’re chasing the experiences that make us feel alive.
Join us as we share the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Welcome to Seafolk Sailing-where every horizon is a new adventure.

We BOUGHT our FIRST 45ft SAILBOAT in AUSTRALIA - The JOURNEY sailing AROUND THE WORLD begins!
Welcome to our very first episode of Seafolk Sailing! In this exciting kickoff to our adventure, we fly to Darwin, Australia, to check out a potential sailboat that could become our new floating home. But, as with all great stories, things don’t go entirely to plan… From unexpected mishaps to big decisions, we take you along for the ride as we start chasing our dream of a life on the water.

It’s amazing how Delos and vaga have inspired so many. A man bun is a good start. All the best.
Having long hair means no hairdressers necessary while at sea for months and months, and bald heads aren’t for everyone 🤣
Love to see new sailing channels. It keeps me motivated to do the same one day. Happy sailing.
You can do it!
I'm looking forward to seeing your videos and adventures 🤙
Awesome! Thank you!
You should have titled it...... This is what the bottom looks like!!!!! 😎🤔😀😜
Great idea!
Great intro, can't wait to join the journey!
Awesome! Thank you!
all the best, can't wait to watch your progress with the boat
Thank you!
So good guys!! Can’t wait to keep watching 🙌🏼
@@HarrisonMorgan-p1m Cheers big ears! Hopefully get you guys onboard in the South Pacific ⛵️🏄🏼♂️
I'm Cairns based and just bought a boat and starting the same journey of fixing it up 🤠
Awesome mate! Where in cairns are you refitting? Whats her name & build?
@@SeafolkSailing it's a significantly smaller it's a 23f VDS trailer sailer, home rebuild.
3 days, you should be halfway to monetization as well. Great start for a channel.
Fingers crossed! Just got to get the watch hours up and we’ll be sweet!
@ updating is always delayed. If your average watch time is 6 minutes, that 2k hours
Best of luck guys 🤙
Just watch this video and I will be following your journey. I enjoy the beginnings of new sailors and the refitting of the boats ( Your New Home ). Be Safe & Fair Winds. 😊😊
Awesome, thank you!
Great vid looking forward to the next.
Coming soon!
Congratulations on the first videos guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks mate! Hopefully the next ones keep getting easier!
That boat is 40 year old. 40 year old problems
My boat is 60 and has done 16k+ miles in the last three years bro
@SailorJames mic drop 🤣🙏
Yeh Nah
Nah yeah?
Hi guys, just come across your channel sounds very interesting , Just subscribed and looking forward to the next adventure before dementia Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia. I’m on the big island
Thanks for supporting us, hope you enjoy what’s to come!
First video of yours that I’ve watched and straight away your into the over dramatisation. Bayview marina isn’t croc or shark infested, I live in Darwin and spend a lot of time working in the Marina’s..particularly the duck ponds. Stick to the facts!
Just going off the info we were provided but thanks for the update, now we know THE FACTS! ☺️🤙
Let’s where the”ride” goes !!! Good luck and fun. I will follow!! 🎉hit 👍 and subscribe, both done!
Awesome! Thank you!
Wish you both all the best...I hope you both enjoy this adventure and the ups and downs that go with it...I hope you took it for a real good sail and tested out the motor thoroughly before signing on the dotted line...there was no mention of the motor and its condition and the sails as well. These are the expensive things that you dont want to have to replace.!!!!! Insurance companies[the ripoffs] dont like 10 yr old rigging....Insurance is needed to enter into marinas or to go on a service jetty... Pls check rudder and keel bolts before leaving Darwin...Good Luck and Fair Winds to you both....
Congratulations, the future will be amazing.
Get, do not look back!
i am in for the journey!😀 good luck guy’s
oh you two are actually very likeable and seem like froth lords. I'll subscribe. If you can survive the sail from Darwin to Cairns, then you're good to go. she can be a bumpy ride.
I can’t wait to see how you two progress with your plans, I for one will be along for the ride vicariously from home with a coffee looking forward to each video. Best of luck with all you do, best wishes from Western Canada 🇨🇦
Davy Jones’s loves making phone calls with other people’s cell phones but due to saltwater the phones don’t last very long. Yeah it’s a 40 year old boat you are going to get to know her good bad and ugly parts.
Well done look forward to following you. Enjoy the journey
Magic😅😅
Not a sailor but a 61yr old solo land traveler. Follow many sailing channels but so looking forward to following this journey, best wishes and much ❤to you both. 😊
Awesome, thank you!
Great video guys, looking forward to following your journey. When will you set sail?
Just stumbled on this and thought “oh great , another sailing channel”, there’s hundreds of them. For some reason I kept watching, your intro is excellent, photography, editing and narration all to the point. Future plans sound exciting and you guys come across as likeable with a “let’s go attitude”. Please don’t show me you preparing dinner, cooking dinner and eating dinner, I can do that at home. Good luck guys.
@@BruceSymons thanks so much for the kind words! We’ll definitely try to keep the cooking shows out of it 🤣
Great to see the start of your channel! Aussie AF too 😂❤
Damn!? 💀💀💀
Paid actors
Definitely 🤣
No way in hell i would get in that water
Awesome guys, hopefully see you on the water somewhere!
Thank you! We hope so too! 🥳⛵️
All the best and looking forward to seeing you both on your wonderful adventures 🦘🏝️🏖️⛵️
Thanks so much! 😊
So far so good guys. You’ve hooked me.
I will follow you for a bit. I don't know why you have to play music while you are talking to us? I prefer to hear what you are saying.
Thanks we’ll keep that in mind ☺️
Dropping the phone in the water is a good start.
Accidents happen 🤣
@ be you wanted a new phone anyway, right?
Subscribed! Let’s goooo, but someone needs to get that phone back otherwise I’ll have to unsubscribe! 🐊 🦈
Haha we’ll get someone onto it asap!
You said one of the things that tells me you are off to a good start: going to replace the rigging. So many buy a boat not knowing the lifespan of rigging. I do have some questions for ya. Do you get seasick (living on a sailboat at sea and crossing oceans is a lot different than taking a dive boat out for a few hours)? Do you know how to heave-to properly? Do you know how to inspect sails? Do you know how to reef? Lastly, do you know how much boat parts cost and how short of a lifespan they have? Now to some advice: Make sure you hand clean your fuel tank before going offshore. That is the number 1 problem new sailors have besides sea sickness (I have a trick to make sure you don't get sick if you want to hear it). Make sure you test your radios and how far they can send/receive. Drop your rudder and inspect the bearings and if yours is the type that uses a packing gland, make sure that is good to go. Inspect the steering cables and pulleys and replace all cotter pins on pulleys and rigging before you go anywhere. Cotter pins are cheap but can fail and cause a disaster without any notice or show of wear and tear. Make sure the bottom is cleaned before you head out. Have backup GPS capable phones with charts on them. You've already notice how easy it is to lose one. If you aren't replacing the rigging before you go, which I really suggest you do, then at least get a professional to inspect it. Same for the sails. Your neighbor thinks like me. For years I used to carry my old anchor rode on the side of my boat in a daisy chain because I didn't have room to store it but I didn't want to get rid of it. Everybody used to comment on it saying that's a great idea to protect the hull. I'd usually just say thank you and smile knowing they didn't know the real reason it was there. I sold that boat in Fiji in 2018. I wonder if he got the idea from my old boat. BTW: Don't feel bad about not finding the phone. It's very hard to find things in the water in a marina. Usually the bottom is a thick mushy mess and as soon as you start putting your hand in it, it stirs up all the junk in the water and you can't even see your nose. Get backup phones. Actually, the word backup is something you should be talking about for most things on your boat.
Good luck on your journey and adventure.
I'm also a carpenter. After work and on the weekends, I designed and built my own home without hiring any labor and did it all debt free. With that purchase came two lots. I'm planning on building another house on that land and then selling the first home to purchase a nice boat and sail around the world.
That is awesome!
Congratulations on your first episode I’ve been watching sailing channels for about five years now and I’m really excited to see how you guys do with the next five. Good luck!
Awesome! Thank you and welcome aboard!
Great first video guys. You have an amazing adventure ahead of you. There are more great days at sea than bad, enjoy the ride.
Thanks so much!
Awesome first video. Im subbing now!
Thanks for the sub!
Wishing you happy journeys! Looks like an amazing adventure is ahead of you.
Thanks so much!
Enjoyable first episode guys. Subscribed all the way from U.K. looking forward to seeing your hard work and your channel grow! 👍🏻🎉
Awesome! Thank you!
Background music makes it more difficult to understand what you’re saying- besides most of us come here to listen to the waves 🌊 and the birds and the creeks of the boat.
Well keep that in mind for the next one thanks! ☺️
Congrats !
