Yes, there's a container on top of it. Hurricane Beryl smashed it against the hull and blew it on top of it. It's a Maxim 380, 38 ft Catamaran.

Man I have been watching you for a while and this journey just keeps getting better and better, congratulations on having the foresight to get out there after the hurricane and find you the dream boat you always wanted. You bought it and now it's yours that's awesome, keep moving forward.
Thank you Jayson!
I don't usually comment anything on UA-cam... But! I'm So happy for you guys, that's a dream. I was watching the video and feeling as excited as you were for sure haha.
I've been watching your videos since your roadtrips in the middle East. You are one of my favourite channels on UA-cam, thanks for sharing your life experiences.
Keep it up! 😊
This video was very emotional for us to watch. We are so so happy for you!!!! I'm picturing speed, comfortable anchoring and lots of deck space. You only get 4 or 5 great opportunities handed to you in your life and you took it, good job on this momentous decision.
Yes, this is definitely one of those opportunities!
I'm so happy for you Huub and Daniela! Limonada II is amazing! What a big difference in the quality of your lives. I am sad about the devestation there, but glad you both are happy and healthy. Big Hugs. Sun Noble.❤
Congratulations Huub and Daniela. Daniela habla mas en español ,habemos millones de personas que queremos oirte, lo estas haciendo muy bien. Un gran habrazo para ambos.
yes would really add a dimension to the program. excellent suggestion. excellent.
I love seeing young people living their dream....
Huub and Daniela: Amazing, you two are in for a magnificent future. Congratulation's and wishing you both a lifetime of Happiness!
This made my day❤❤❤ I am so happy for you guys. Daniela, se debe sentir como una mansión! Me da más alegría por vos!!! ❤ los quiero.
Que nota parce ! Me alegra por el parcero yo lo veo a el desde que estava haciendo una casa por alla metido en el monte con un perro 😂, y luego cuando compro el bote y Ahora verlo en esta nota con una paisana! que vacano! Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to this new chapter in such a beautiful boat!
If anyone deserves this upgrade you do I have not been getting your videos lately but just found you again love your videos you are so hard word working hope all your dreams come true good luck for future you so deserve it
I appreciate it Sharon!
Congratulations HUUB you way too much deserved this in your life , right partner right energy and right results . Well done my friend
Congrats Huub! You made a great decision on the path of life! I follow you for many years but this is the biggest step forward! RESPECT! 🤩😍🤗
Really cool Huub, you bought a pretty rough old sailboat years ago and had a few female companions that diddy last long and now you have met the perfect woman and have gotten yourselves a great new sailboat
I Am Happy For Both Of You, Finally You Got The Bigger Boat And Safety At Best With This One Now.
You two will have so much more room in the new sailboat. Also you two make a great pair and your videos are enjoyable. Take care Ernest
Wishing you both all the very best with your new boat . Huub the day you met Daniela was the luckiest day of your life, she is such a beautiful, young, genuine woman . Be kind to each other always, you got this 😊
A new chapter opens on your journey.
I'm happy to see, how well you two get along with each other.
Next challenges will come, but together you will deal with it.
Happy day and good luck!
Thank you!
"I've been following your journey since you first started fixing up your boat to sail. It's been amazing to watch your progress, and I'm thrilled to see you with a bigger boat now. Congratulations!" So happy for you
We are SO proud of you & so happy for you, way to go. If anyone can pull this off, it's you two! - Adventureman Dan's parents
Hi Adventureman Dan's parents, I really appreciate your comment! Thank you!
Wow, that was one of the most heart stopping starts to a video ever. Awesome work capturing it on film. Really looking forward to this project.
No wayyyyy dude! So happy for you, anything would be better than your current boat! This one looks way newer and nice. Once fixed properly, I am certain you won't run into constant issues like on ur current boat! You truly deserves it bro! Keep up the good work!
Have been following you since the start. Was so happy when you met your girlfriend and she started with you. The videos got better and better. So much information and so much seeing the two of you growing together. I am disappointed that in this video however, you did not tell us how this all came about, how you discovered the catamaran and why the owner wanted to unload her. This is what makes it impressive more, is the history. We went from Trinidad and Tobago to a boat yard where the hurricane hit. If you do not want to share the story, then that is ok. Take your time on this boat and do it right. Get her ready first for going back in the water, and after you have her on anchor or mooring ball you can do cosmetic work slowly and the right way and save yard costs. Just do it right so she will last you both many years to come and you can finally leave the Caribbean and travel the world in more comfort and much more room and safer conditions. Much love from Switzerland.
I'm so glad for you guys I wish you the best of luck God bless you both looking forward to seeing that thing and with wind in the sails
I'm so glad i found your guys channel! Inspiring seeing the development and growth while living your dreams 😊 Congratulations on making it happen
Huub I have been watching you since Kazakhstan days, Finally good things are happening, I am really happy for you guys, naming this Catamaran Beryl would be ideal.
what a dream boat! gorgeous in and out! I cannot wait to see you two customize both, I hope for a name that you choose together, and omg what a space on the inside! I see this being a reliable home adventure companion for many years to come!
*I'm so happy for you Huub…you finally got the girl and boat of your dreams!! All that hard work and heartbreak was a lot and you deserve all the best. Happy Birthday!* 💙🙏💙
Daniela wish come true!!! She gets a toilet with a door!!! Whaoooooo good luck with the repairs and I will stay tuned for all the videos and can’t wait to see you both sailing away!!!
So cool! Removing that tank was stressful to watch.
Haha yes,!
@@HuubVlogs do you know if there are other damaged boat for sell and do you have any idea who I have to contact ? Thank You !
Wow, that's awesome. Congratulations on your new boat. I look forward to seeing your dreams all come together. Keep up the good work 💪. SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿
Congrats Hub & Daniela, I am glad you were able to seize an opportunity to buy the boat. I did the same thing when I bought my HF ham radio. 73 old boys. 73 is ham radio talk.
I’m genuinely happy for you. The stars are aligned for you ! Take advantage of that positive light shining on you guys !
Thanks a lot Mandy!
Did not think this would be possible within one month. This is a life-changing moment & you're in the right place at the right time. Congrats on the huge level-up!
Let the itching, I mean refit begin! Super stoked for you both - every episode you prove what is possible with a positive attitude and graciously accepting what life offers you. Hope the structural stuff is minimal and you get to sail off on your new boat soon 🤞
Wow that is going to be a very nice and comfortable boat when it is all fixed up, way to go guys good buy!
You’ve worked your ass off to get to this point. You don’t deserve it, you earned it. Congrats, can’t wait to see where this takes you.
We have been watching for a long time and this news made us so proud of you. The new boat is gorgeous and a huge upgrade. You're going to love it. Congratulations guys!!
🎉😊 Terrific news! I'm happy for you! I remember a while back talking about maybe one day to work towards a Catamaran sailboat, but this happened quick! So good the fuel cell didn't take her out. One day soon you'll be doing 9 and 10 knots, "No problem"!! 👍👍
Thank you Scott!
Well done Huub and Daniela. What an unbelievable find. We are really looking forward to your refit videos. You will be living in the lap of luxury. So excited for you both.
I’ve been following you since you were in Spain, building your house on your own. I’m so happy to see you have gotten a catamaran! Even though it needs work, it’s nothing you can’t fix! Congratulations!!
Hello, it is a pleasant surprise to see you acquire this beautiful catamaran, you made a good choice I think, more spacious, easier to maneuver. Daniela's smiling face shows how satisfied she is with her new home.😀
What a crazy situation! The power in those winds! And so sad to see that warzone of damaged boats. I wish you all the very best for your next steps and adventures! Go for it! ❤
Wow, great news Hub and Daniela! May there be less repairs than expected, and may you make this catamaran your beloved new home quickly! Looking forward what you will do, all the best from Sweden!
Congrats I’m SUPER EXCITED for the both of you!!!! Looking forward to seeing the both of you build your dreams together and travel the world ❤
Congratulations to both of you. It’s been a joy to follow Huub’s journey that led to this moment. Daniela you are wonderful!🎉❤
We are so happy for you both, you really deserve it after all you went through with the cabin you built, the deck work and all the other crap you went through. And if anybody can do it, it’s you.
Thank you Adam, appreciate it!
Congratulations on the new boat!!! I can't wait to see it turn into "your" boat!!! Don't dwell on the worries, and concentrate on the excitement!!!
Very excited for both of you. It was nice to see you start making it your home. Time to have plan that will get you off the hard and where you can complete those tasks that do not require you be on land. I’m sure you will do a great repair job. Best wishes.
I am very happy for you and Daniela. May this be an incredible next chapter in your life together. Congratulations on your "African Dream".
Wow she is super smart looking forward to seeing what she is what needs doing and how you tackle the work, what an opportunity well done.
Congratulations Huub and Daniela! I really enjoy your videos each week and now I'm even more excited. Good luck with the repairs and can't wait to watch you sail it!
Wow, what a courageous decision! Congratulations for this beautiful boat ! If there are no structural damages, this is probably one of the best purchases of your life. All the rest is only a matter of efforts and smart work....!
Wow congratulations from India🎉
We are watching you when you are building your hoom
Your journey is inspiration for us.
Thank you very much for coming along!
I'm so EXCITED to watch your new adventures in your new boat!❤🥰
This really. Is exciting - can’t wait to see your adventures on this. It looks like a real step up in comfort for you!
This is awesome news for you both. Congrats, I can't wait you see you two fixing it up.
Thank you!
Keeps getting better, with Daniela fast becoming the star of the show :)
Congratulations 🎉🎉!!!!
This is like moving into the rich neighborhood! You guys can get lost with that much space. Can't wait to see you splash it. Good luck, and best wishes.
Me too Stephen!
So glad for you reaching your dream, Huub! I'm sure Daniela will enjoy it as well. 🎉
Congratulations on your purchase I love what I am seeing out of guys hard works and dedication❤
The very best of luck to you both. After watching many youtube videos about this kind of thing you could have a very long road ahead of you. Again, very best of luck.
I’m so excited for you guys. I was so thinking you two needed a bigger boat. Welcome to the big boys club now
Huub, I've been watching your vlogs since you were building the beautiful log cabin in Europe. Maybe falling into this deal will make up for having to abandon your nearly complete cabin, and find a home for your dog. Happy birthday, and I'm happy for you and Daniela. Just be diligent with your repairs and remember that another set of eyes from some of your sailing friends going over the new craft couldn't hurt.
Congratulations Huub and Daniela! Wow, what a wonderful upgrade! I remember when you bought your first boat. So cool.
This boat.. yes there is much work, but really, it's in fairly good shape compared to some,, There, are no giant holes and water damage that I can see ... maybe one good season of repairs and then the world is yours to visit.. I'm very happy for you. Best wishes and........ Cheers
i agree! Thank you!
Happy for you! Congratulations! Your channel has grown pretty fast. Now that you are doing a refit on an awesome boat, it will continue to grow, probably even faster. Good luck to you!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Happy b/day Huub 🎂
Oooh this is gonna be great since you talked about getting a catamaran i patiantly waited how it is gonna unfold and walla everything happened so fast 🛥
You and Dani is gonna enjoy your new project

Huub, that Cat looks like a great find! As is Daniela who is a real trouper! Best of everything for the two of you!
Congratulations! With the work you will put into it it's going to be great for you both! I look forward to see the future you have on this CAT!
Happy birthday 🎂 I'm so proud of you,very inspirational and beautiful people,I wish you all the luck in the world.congratulations.🎉
I am so happy for you! love seeing you move up to a better boat!
Cleaning a boat is one of the best ways to learn and bond with her ❤
I have been watching your channel for a while . Congratulations on your new to you vessel. Can’t wait to see the progress you guys make .
now i don't have to worry about your boat randomly tacoing on you guys from those deck repairs on the old lemonada that didn't look like they had enough overlapping fiberglass. will be an interesting build. (i like rebuilding videos more then sailing ones)
Great job guys. Always exciting find a great deal on something you always wanted. One of my favorite channels on UA-cam. Nice mix of content you both create.
Congratulations. Looking forward to new content of your new vessel.
Congratulations Huub and Daniela. Wishing you both all the best with this new project.
Congrat's on the new boat!!! It will be a lot of work but the rewards from it will make it so much better!!!! Can't wait to see the upcoming projects you have..
I am so happy for you both, really enjoy your videos. Can’t wait to see what you have to do to get the boat ready to put in the water.
Congratulations Huub🍻🥂🍾 You deserve it. Alot of hard work for you and Daniela👍⛵♥️
I should have waited until the end of the video to comment. I was just really upset at the way the yard workers were mistreating your new boat. Then I watched the two of you meticulously cleaning her. She will be beautiful when she is done and the two of you will enjoy many years with her. I've had fun watching your channel for several months. You are a lucky man. Please let me know if Daniela has an older sister. She is a gem. Have fun fixing her.
Happy birthday Huub. I am excited for you both on this new opportunity. I am sure it will be nice to have a bigger boat that will hopefully be able to take you farther, more safely and in a bit more comfort. Your journeys are often fun. Good luck on the purchase and transfer to Luminata II.
Huub en Daniela, heel erg gefeliciteerd met die prachtige cat! Hele goede move. Dat wordt jullie nieuwe huis op het water.
Danny, you have a beautiful smile! Keep smiling !!!!!
Congrats on the new boat. A Cat is a much nicer live aboard. I know Daniela will enjoy having more room (privacy) and you will love it not rocking as much as a monohull. Can't wait to see more videos of you guys fixing it up and getting underway. Enjoy
Amazing! Very happy about the new boat. Good winds always
Wow so great decision. Wish you all the best and a lot of fun refitting this great cat.
Wow! What a surprise. Congratulations on getting a "new" boat. Your 15 minute video does not do justice to the time that you spent helping the previous owner get his stuff out and then all of the time that you and Daniela spent cleaning your boat.
I was very impressed that the yard crew was able to remove the tank without scratching the side of your boat. Looking forward to lots of boat maintenance videos in the future.
This is like watching a novel unfold in real life.. Good on Ya guys. ❤
Wow. So exciting. Hope everything goes well.
Good luck, hope it comes out great
That's so fantastic!!! Hell yeah! You guys are going to do her up right! ⛵
Happy birthday and happy cat day, you bought it, now playtime, enjoy life❤
Huub, the boat looks to be in decent shape for surviving what it did. I am excited for you both! Enjoy the journey.
Hi guys. That was absolutely heartbreaking to see mother nature can be cruel and kind. Can't wait to see how this progresses. 😊
Nice going guys. New project new Cat life. Let the work begin. Good luck get that thing tied down in case of more Hurricanes.
Hell yeah brother !!!!! Can’t wait to see the process of fixing this bad boy up super stoked for you brother !
Happy for you, I know you can do it 👏
Congrats Huub. You have worked hard to deserve this!
You were at the right place, right time ,good luck with the work to be done .Looking forward to see future videos
Good luck with your purchase. We can see the Dream in your eyes. Just remember to move her to a safe place before the next hurricane. Aruba is less than 500 nautical miles away and not on the path of hurricanes.
Aruba is losing a lot because of Venezuelan attackers.
