How we afford to Sail Around the World - Full time sailing on a Budget - Ep.79
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 сер 2020
- How we fund our dream and what it took to start out sailing around the world. After 4 years of full time travel sailing around the world, we explain how we fund this dream life now in our 30's rather than waiting until retirement. We break down how much it cost us to sail around the world over the last year, where than money was spent and where the money comes from. Answering is one of the questions we are asked most often. How do we make our money as digital nomads off grid full time sailing on a budget.
We are a British couple who set off from England in 2016 to fulfil our dream of sailing around the world on our 37ft sail boat, Florence. Along the way we share the live aboard lifestyle with the highs and lows of travelling around the world by boat, our own little tiny house. Boat life out at sea on the ocean.

One of the most humble and enjoyable sailing channels I watch. Keep living the dream, you guys are awesome!
You probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Deacon Kameron instablaster =)
@Deandre Parker I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Deandre Parker It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account !
@Deacon Kameron you are welcome =)
What a brilliant video. When I say I hope you never come back, I mean it in the best possible way! How could you settle down into a regular life after the adventures you have had? It is a terrible thing to have had the best years of your life before you are half way through.
You are inspirational, I look forward to your vids, and wish you all the best with your adventures.
"In hope of inspiring others." This evening, I'm putting a deposit down on a bluewater cruising boat just a hair bigger than Florence, which has an awful lot of my refit list work already done on it. Thanks for sharing your videos! They've been a big highlight, and a push.
...and now it's done. Alea iacta est!
Awesome, best of luck to you!
Good luck Susan.
Susan i hope you have some video of it.
I'm a latino who grew up in LA. I know nothing about boats and maybe have been on three boats my whole life. This channel is inspiring to me and you two are some of the most genuine people. I love watching your videos and getting updates. Live in the dream as much as you can!
This is why I appreciate you guys so much. Your comment about the trust fund is the way that I tried to raise my kids too. You know the meaning of life. I figured you two out the first time I saw your videos. I wish the World was full of people like you.
You may just end up rich & famous. Absolutely love your work. By far the best sailing channel out there and I watch them all. Other channels pale in comparison. Another informative, beautifully shot & edited vid. You inspire my husband & I to keep working towards our goal to be out on the water. Keep up the magnificent work. ❤️
Too often in modern times we think of education and growth in terms of school and textbooks, but you two have enriched your knowledge and skill sets beyond measure. Your photography, videos, music, story-telling and on-camera charisma will carry you in good stead throughout your life's adventures. I am so impressed by your planning, discipline, thrift, and genuine values -- somewhere your parents must be incredibly proud.
“Well that’s mostly down to you, but how does that work?”
*Advert begins*
Well played
I remember the indecision, the jumping off from a land living life, the jumping into the love of sailing you were both so fond of...your ability to not only express details in a fun and entertaining way and give recognition to the uncertainty of the future has been refreshing, but the job of doing this work and editing the “good life” has been a joy to watch! It’s your story and it’s still playing out. The work of filming and editing is no easy task to make it both entertaining and a document to your years in the present. Your film techniques, the eloquence written to the areas visited have educated and inspired many for sure and improved vastly from the early you tube releases. Again I remember the first few releases and wasn’t sure if the story line would hold my interest, but each time I returned, I saw the format improve, the visual become awesome, the story continuing and the wish to see more of what tomorrow would bring. Changing the beginning music and intro was huge! It created anticipation of new and fresh adventures... I know these things don’t go on forever, but it’s been a joy to watch you share what you have and share your spirit for an adventure few of us will ever experience. Cheers 🥂 take care...
Well done, I hope you can keep on cruising for as long as you want to

Awesome job guys! Been binge watching your videos. Love your work, so informative and inspirational. Watching these really makes me want to buy another boat. I live in NZ now but from Plymouth originally where I used to teach school kids sailing during the summer holidays whilst at college. Itching to get back out there again, thanks again to you both!
That was an honest and succinct video. Thankyou. You sure are making the most of your trust fund!
Great video! Made me think that maybe even my husband and I could do this some day. Maybe 😊. Enjoy and safe travels!
I really really love your channel! Your videos are so well scripted, filmed, and edited! Definitely my new favorite sailing channel 😊
I am moved, touched and inspired by you🌟
My god you guys are so humble! I love it. Safe travels.
Well done👍👍
grea job.... nice planing and good living.
I love this video guys! We discovered your channel after a friend mentioned it (our friend used to work with Matt!) and have been loving it ever since. We are following FIRE, and are hoping to go sailing in fewer than 10 years with our babies. :-) I love your mindset and frugality and showing how things can be done simply and wonderfully! xx
Amy Matt thank yo for your video. Simply I learn a lot by listening to your weekly stories. I am impressed by your life choices, your honesty. The best thing is that you look like you love each other more and more. If it is so, you are winners! Congratulations!
Thanks for the hard work of filming, editing and sharing.
Kind regards.
@Jeremy Boatright In episode 3 I asked them where the first two videos were, as soon as I read the answer, subscribed, felt politeness and respect, this video is all that. This is my second youtube account (the first one I deleted, and the comment was deleted, otherwise the comment would have been 3 years old!) There are many channels of "boats" at least 70% are charlatans, they are not able to cross an ocean, without professionals on board (la vagabunde is one of them) these kids, have crossed two oceans, and will continue to cross oceans, I hope they go up the Atlantic to England.
You guys make the best sailing adventure videos on you tube we love your ethos and hope you NEVER stop making videos or lose your humble approach to life
Absolutely the very best explaination of cost and income. Thank you for sharing.
Great break down... Makes me think it is possible!
You deserve your success!!
I just love to hear that You are able to continue living the cruising life and share it with us. I, and I think many others, is sitting in our own boats dreaming Your dream. Simply love it.
