Life On An Epic Sailboat In Japan
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 кві 2017
- People don't often associate Japan with life on a sail boat but the country is rich with incredible places to explore via the great ocean. Daniel Springett and his family of 5 (plus a dog) have been traveling the world on their stunning 55ft James Warram designed Catamaran but for the last couple of years have called the Inland Sea of Japan home.

i teared up a lil at the end when he was talking about "family is being together, not living in a specific place" like that's so sweet
There's a man who knows what's important in life!

Bryce, half of the charme of your videos is the professional but personal presentation you give. That's the reason, why "Living Big" stands out from the other tiny house channels on youtube.
Thanks so much! That's really nice of you to say. :)
I SOOOO AGREE! Charm is the word!
Count my vote too. :-)
Yup, agreed!
Bryce dude you and Kevin McCloud (Grand Designs) are the best presenters ever. Well done for you and your crew for such nice picture, presentation and speech in every way. I am sure when you come back to our beautiful NZ you could easily put your shows on tv (if you wanted to). I would love to see that. Kia ora bro!
The way he talks about his future ...cruising around countries all over..such freedom. I understand the whole "easy life " that he talks about!
Absolutely. I truly love the freedom that sailing life offers. The ability to pull up anchor and sail to wherever the winds will take you!
That's the part that grabbed me. Passion for the future!
For someone cruising around, it's far from easy. Boat parts need constant maintenance, whether they are used or not. Hulls need constant cleaning and at least bi-yearly haul outs for anti-fouling treatments. It's impossible to schedule anything, weather dictates all movements.
I'm not suggesting that it's not a great lifestyle, there are definite rewards. But one should be prepared for the extreme frustrations that occur and the large amount of work. It has been estimated that someone knowledgeable in many aspects of boat repair (i.e. carpentry, fiberglassing, diesel mechanics, plumbing, electrical) and can do most of their own work can live on a boat for about $12K(US) per year and my own experiences make me believe that's pretty accurate. Boats in sailing-ready conditions can be purchased for less than $50K (US), and boats that need a little care for as little as $10K(US). Our boat cost $10K, but we've had to put over $8K into her to make her seaworthy. And she's not a blue-water cruising boat, just a coastal cruiser for the eastern coast of the US. Could probably go to the Bahamas, but crossing the Atlantic would probably be un-wise for any but very seasoned sailors.
There is much maintenance, but it doesnt matter where you life, if its a house, a Camper or a boat you've to take care of your home. We lived partwise on our boat in netherlands, but sadly its not anymore.
A "huge" thank you Bryce. Tiare is now ready and waiting for you to come join us for a sail :)
Cheers mate! Can't wait! :)
Is this going to happen? I would love an update in this perspective. 👍🏽
I found this channel 2 weeks ago and including this, I've binged watch all but one small playlist. Do not ever stop this channel good sir.
haha! That's a great effort! Thanks so much for watching. Lots of great new home tours to come!
Props to the cameraman/woman behind this! so many angles, i wonder how many times you went back and forth to capture those shots.
Haha - yeah! This one was a bit trickier than normal. :)
Rasa’s work is always outstanding! Her camera work is one of the two major reasons this show is the best on tinies. The second reason of course is Bryce’s empathic and charming interview style. You two are an exceptional team-thank you for these videos!
I was saying the same thing in my mind
Big smile while addressing his future plans. Makes total sense moving the galley above deck. I love everything about this boat. She's beautiful.
There's this certain warmth and moving feeling everytime this channel presents their material. Bryce and his team/partner really had me since that Brenda, Bret and the couple with a baby with a Permaculture Design garden outside. This channel really connects with its audience so differently that you just find yourself in the end thinking on what's really important in this life in relation to one's core beliefs. Thanks Bryce.
Oh wow! What a beautiful comment. Thank-you for watching and following the journey for so long. It's my absolute privilege to share these videos with you and I'm so glad you enjoy them.
Living Big In A Tiny House . couldn't thank you enough Bryce. I let all my officemates watch your channel.
"Family is home no matter where u live in"
That's right ! 😊
This channel is so different, I can always expect to see high quality videos from here. The boat owner was also surprisingly proffesional at presenting the boat features!
Yhh
The Wharram Islander 55 shown would be my ideal family liveaboard too - if the kids hadn't all grown up and flown the nest :D
Wharrams have been described as the Landrovers of the sea due to their straightforward, rugged, low-maintenance design and construction, a 21 ft Wharram cat has circumnavigated the world.
Daniel comes across as a chap who's found what's important in life and is supremely content. Props to you Bryce for making everyone feel like they're just having a chat with a mate rather than being interviewed.
Plus one on that treefrogUK. This vid has a NHK production feel to it.
WOW, Bryce..what a beautiful place to live..I swear you have thee best job,not only do you see the most amazing tiny living structures but you get to go to the most beautiful places in the world..
love it. Definitely wasn't expecting those big bedrooms.
I now! Certainly a comfortable place to live. I think it would really come in handy with such a large family doing some of those long ocean crossings.
Is the other side of the boat symmetrical? Didn't see any footage of that part :(
Yup! The other side is just mirrored. :)
Then that's really roomy, wow!
Bryce - Considering the many lifestyles you show here, beyond what I thot possible on 1st exploration 5 yrs ago. Your site brilliant way to “expand the dream.” Thank you! 💕
A friend of mine bought a 40' cat and doing a similar thing, just getting experience cruising Australia & NZ atm...We all thought he was nuts at first..But now we're all quietly envious..Great show, one of the better cruising shows.
I couldn't help but smile through the entire video. What a wonderful way to live.
Wow, that location. Must be magical to live like that!
The location is truly magic. I absolutely loved the island of Yuge. True to so many places in Japan, the food was beyond amazing!
Something like this is exactly what I want to do. Can't wait to save up enough to buy a yacht and sail from Auckland to Japan.
Wow, really enjoyed watching your Japanese adventures Bryce! What a treat being able to catch up on your older episodes! Beautiful kids, little master sailors with a beautiful dog too!!👍🏻😄. 🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
Bryce - thanks for another lovely video! You have one of the best channels on UA-cam!
Wow!! What a lifestyle!! Travelling the world at your own leisure, the way life should be done!!
What a beautiful way to "do family" !!! Sounds exciting and SO fun!!! I absolutely LOVE your videos!!! You are the friendliest of chaps and you find such lovely homes to share with us! Your entire way of presenting always has a sunny, cheery, happy vibe and consequently, they are all very special videos! Thank you for sharing yourself and your awesome meet-ups with these cool people and their gorgeous homes!!! :)
Thanks Chellee for your lovely comment! So glad you liked this video. I'm so excited to bring out the new series of tours we have been filming here in North America. :)
Nice video... Had the pleasure to meet the owner and thats a awesome boat..
Please take him up on the offer to go back and cruise with them next year (or even sooner). What an adventure!
This was fantastic! I can only imagine how peaceful it would be to sleep on that boat at night. Aaaaaah! I would love to see future interviews with Daniel and his family.
Me too! I'd love to go for a sail with them next time I'm in Japan. Hopefully I can make that happen!
Now that's what I call "Livin the Dream"! Thank you for all the awesome videos you do, and I think you're Livin the Dream too!
Thank-you Lori! I completely agree with you. Having this channel grow and be able to provide opportunities for me to travel and meet these amazing individuals is absolutely a dream come true. I feel incredibly fortunate!
Living like that must feel so liberating. Very brave.
Wow...what a place to live.
Your videos offer so much inspiration, not just in what to live in but also the type of life to live in it. Thanks!!
They Andy! Thanks so much. Really glad you liked this one. I love Daniels spirit and I think he offers some real wisdom about what's important in life.
I feel bad that Ive only just extended my house to make a big family room with the Kitchen/dining and sofa areas in one. I feel I should be reducing my footprint not increasing it! I'll wait until the kids leave home I think!!
Don't feel bad man, you've gotta do what's right for you!
Another great video from you mate but would love to have heard stories from your guest about more challenging times living on a boat. One of my favourite videos of yours is when you tell us about what it was like to live for months in a tent and the small things that ended up making a big difference. Really great knowledge to share that can only come from living in a space through thick and thin. Anyway keep it up. I love your work mate. cheers
well found , ship shape tidy vessel, u are right about Japan sailing , dont tell anyone , still one of the most beautiful places to sail, , nice people , nice angkerages , sail on , enjoy.
Great presentation and a very appealing example of the Islander 55 - the big, big brother to our Tiki 38. Fantastic to get an insight into this little known cruising area too. Thanks very much. Stew and Zaya
Thank you for bring this tiny home option to us. Impressive filming.
Beautiful, and the interior layout is well-designed especially the kitchen's location.
I wish I was sitting there with a coffee. The view is amazing and it seems so relaxing.
Dear god, what a beautiful boat. oh fishing must be so great, oh man. she's an absolute beauty.
Love your Channel has really opened up my eyes to the Craftsmen work that you put into your home or other people's crapped my work that they put into their home I am a baby bloomer and you just don't see the Craftsman work anymore until you start seeing these tiny houses and now you starting intro the carpenter work that is put into these homes great job guys
Just fricken awsum! Hope you have a safe journey. You are living the dream, even with all the kids!
Hey, Bryce! Again, this is a fantastic video. I finally made it in Japan and I've been living here for a month now. Tsu is a beautiful and peaceful city. I've been to the beach on two separate occasions. Unfortunately, it is still too cold for swimming. Anyhow, cheers on your journeys and keep making great videos!
I love your stuff in Japan. I hope there's more to come.
The Japan trip was so amazing. The next films we have coming out are from North America, but there's certainly going to be more Japan content to come in the future. I'm hoping to be able to spend longer there next time as it's such an amazing country.
Wonderful craft. Charming atmosphere.
Very well made video and presentation of the family and their Wharram catamaran. Thank you
i remember this catamaran when she was build in Indonesia cause i am as Drafter of it (asist mr.James)...Realy Happy see her still look beauty...Wooden wastafel...2 layer Meranti timber..Aluminium Cabin...it's owner by Spanish Couple alex and anna was...
After a long time.. I am always so keen to watch everything you post. Thank You
Thanks so much! We're posting every two weeks at the moment, but we are trying to increase to weekly video posts.
Love the cool, relaxing vibes of each of your videos. Great work. Glad I subscribed
Thanks so much Aaron! Glad you're enjoying them. Lots more great stuff to come. Next from North America!
Interesting deck pods. I think the Wharram design philosophy was to not have big above deck fixtures but the curved walls of the galley make it more feasible, and I guess being a 50 footer it can take it. Full respect for being a family man and still being out there living it in style.
Shame that we didnt see tour through the whole boat, I really wanted to see how they fit 5 people there...
Bryce - you're amazing. I love your videos and thank you for bringing the world to me! Take care my friend.
Thank-you so much Charles! Cheers for watching, and for all your support.
Wow. Thanks for the great video. This is a really nice Wharram to be sure.
So good for the environment.I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT💜Deep Respect
Lovely story. Yep, 'Tiare' is a Cook Island name for flower. Sometimes I am claustrophobic in fewer air spaces. I would in the living area in an open space LOL
Totly awesome Mate nicely done luv your videos keep up the good work :-)
Bryce I would be eber so grateful if you could make videos on any tiny home communities or trailer parks you come across, especially in NZ and NA since they are the places I'm considering building in!
Thank you Bryce. Fantastic!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Living in a boat life style works well in Japan (now I think of it!).
日本でのライフスタイルに合いますね！！
This man is so right. Home is where your family is and the people you love.
family is home. what a beautiful point of view.
It truly is. I was so inspired by his story and spirit. :)
Well done interview. This family has luxury very few have. Love and fun lifestyle. ~Smile!
I like it alot.... great video
Love u Bryce..u r incredible...good wishes from the bottom of 💓
As always, great video! Thanks for sharing this :)
Thanks so much. Really hoping to be able to meet up with you two when I'm in Canada!
Very cool! Being a long time resident of Tokyo, I especially love these videos you did in Japan. Another 10! Well done!
Tokyo is an amazing place. I feel I was barely able to scratch the very surface of what the city has to offer. I'd love to go back and spend longer there some day.
Gorgeous boat in a spectacular location,.
She sure is! Thanks for watching. :)
your videos are always amaxing.
That's quite the lifestyle. Catamarans are the best.
They do make for more comfortable travel I think. That extra stability goes a long way.
Agreed. Thanks for another great interview.
What an awesome way to see western japan.
It really is! Japan is such an wonderful country to travel. I can't wait to go back and explore some more.
What a life!! It'd be like being on vacation, all the time!! Probably not so much fun when the waters are choppy, though!
Wow. Seafaring in Japan is interesting.
We are newbies we bought the boat in Australia and selling North Northwest now we're in broom the tides her enormous thank God we don't have a singlehull.
what a wonderful life ....
10/10 would live in.
Such a charismatic host!
Hey everyone did you know that you can pick a playlist with 175 episodes of this show? Just before going to bed I pull up that playlist and hit the red play button then off to bed I go lol. It automatically plays each episode one after another until it gets to the end. For those of you who still have to leave your home to go to work you can do the same during the day while you are gone lol. Basically it adds to the view count of every video lol
Hey every view counts lol
Wow it's really cool man. It would be awesome to watch kinda more same videos.
This is something I couldn't genuinely see my father enjoying, he lives for the water and being on his boat, he's always itching to do it by the end of winter
It's a great way of life, that's for sure.
travel up the ICW into the Hudson through which you can access the Erie canal then on to Buffalo NY ... the gate way to the great lakes all the way as far west as Duluth Min.
My in laws live in Mihara, about 45mins north of Hiroshima...awesome sailing.
Let’s have a look at the kitchen
Nobody:
Sailors: it’s a Galley!!!
Thumbs up. ENJOY... THE SIMPLE LIFE
Thanks Wolf! Glad you liked the vid!
I saw the beer before you mentioned it! I miss the sun rises on winter days there from northern Japan.
Yeah, it sure is beautiful there! I got as far north as Nagano Prefecture. I certainly hope to travel further north next time. :)
My sister and her husband live on their yacht, permanently moored in Hong Kong. It is absolutely stunning, have you thought of doing a video on that? It is truly amazing to wake up every morning and be on the water, they also have a sailing boat for when they want to venture out. They grew tired of living in small 5 floor condo's that were stacked on top of each other. Their yacht is gorgeous!! I never want to leave. They have built up hurricane and Tsunami walls around the area to protect them from severe weather. My sister's Husband is a pilot with Cathay Pacific and if you are interested I can give you their info. or I am sure you can find many other ppl doing the same in the area. Truly beautiful and away from the crowds of Hong Kong.
That sounds amazing! What a cool place. I'd love to travel to Hong Kong and it sounds like an wonderful tour if I do make it there! At the moment we're traveling in the USA and it may be some time before I could head to Hong Kong. :)
It is so cool, you'd love it! Enjoy your travels in the USA. I absolutely look forward to what gems you find there. :)
I totally agree
OMG that’s awesome
What a fantastic way to experience life and the beautiful world we live in! Wow the memories they have created, just incredible!! I'm just a bit jealous. :D
Me too! I seriously considered stowing away on this one. ;)
Living Big In A Tiny House I would not have blamed you one bit if you had!
I actually think a layout plan would be beneficial for this, in the absence of not actually being physically present in the boat -- I don't think you get to appreciate it fully on the video taken, at least for people who are new/not used to yachts. It sounds like an awesome experience to do, but I imagine it gets a bit getting used to in bad weather/bumpy surf!!! An awesome find to do a video on for your channel :)
Some more sailing homes dear Bryce
perfect
Wow, that Island is YUGE!
Hahaha. Nice.
Crazy! But cool for this family
I would LOVE to get a custom built Catamaran to live out of. But unlike a Tiny House where you can still have lots of property around it, a boat you only have as much walking space as the size of the boat, so I would have a huge $4 mil boat, which is way more than I can afford. But I would also have friends living on it, and maybe rent it out for events and stuff. IDK.
So interesting, we are planning to sail to Japan! Is there a website or a blog of this family? Would have been great to hear a bit more about cruising in Japan :)
Wow!
Wonderful!
Thanks!
Nice boat!
Thank you :)
That's awesome.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. :)
Are you still in the bell tent? When will we see more of your tiny house build?
Fabulous.
Thanks!
Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of this video post, Bryce!! What is the Springett family up to now?!?! 👍😊
If I show this to my husband, he's going to put our house on the market! lol
210 Euro's? I wonder if it was in good shape when he bought it or was there a lot of cost involved with moving the kitchen, repairs, etc? Boats can be money pits sometimes.
Seriously Bryce, you have the best channel and I look forward to each upload. :)
Haha - but would that be such a bad thing? :) The boat was only a few years old when they bought it, so I don't think that much would have needed to be done to it. Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
I've heard some people in the uk tent to live in boats too. Really amazing.
The narrow boats there are especially popular. I'd love to film some of those!
Hey that boat is a plans built!!
U just have to make EVERYTHING waterproofed,which isnt so hard to do. Im sure everything has its place(like in a motorhome), u dont need things flying off the selves at any time. And, if u are sea bound,of course u need the high-tech navigational systems.I really like this boat,especially if 5 people are able to like on it full time.I cant imagine the freedom and things u would see?! Just got to be careful for pirates and wave and such.
