#SailingZataraSeason2
It's easy to tell that these are some top-tier parents based on the behavior and demeanor of the kids.
The kids are calm yet energetic, brave yet humble. But most important of all, their happiness radiates!
Truly inspirational!
Its Hump Day June 12, 2024, and I felt led to go back and watch the adventure of buying the Catamaran again. It's been really amazing watching your family grow up out there on the water, and I hope your new endeavors keep growing on.... Love your channel from southern Indiana USA.
I LOVE how everyone (kids) are helping to clean and repair. This is how families should be bonding!
I would just like to thank you for allowing us to spend time with your Lovely Family, My 3 children are all grown and out in the world creating their own family memories to look back on in years to come, I unfortunately was in a bad Motorcycle accident in 2012 ( The driver of the van coming the other way at us was texting while driving a full size van ) I lost a leg and shattered 4 vertebra in my spine leaving me with very limited walking abilities and just not a great life for an active person like me. My wife Passed away from cancer just 18 months ago ,so I spend my time living and traveling like we used to do with kind people like you and your family. it makes all the difference in the world as far as a life of complete depression and one where I smile and chuckle a lot watching people like you, Thanks again, Please be safe and I'll be watching . . . . Ed from Shirley Long Island, N.Y.
What an amazing experience you're giving your family. Something your children will remember forever. You two are awesome parents.
It's cool that you're talking openly about your budget. Most people would be too scared of internet backlash to do it. I think it's actually useful information as it kind of helps to let you know what the possibilities are
billiondollardan I think the difference comes if people are relying on income from patreon and UA-cam. If the boaters are independently wealthy and not “e-begging” people don’t really care.
This is exactly the type of insane comment people get when they talk about money. Thanks for sharing.
wow. dude you need to go see someone. this is not healthy.
Agreed but I know where it's coming from. The US in particular has their worst wealth disparity for 100 years. It leads to the kind of resentment that can lead to worse. We can all shake our heads at a few internet trolls but there is a very serious problem and every solution gets calls socialism by right wingers.
John, I grew up poor - in the 50s. Being poor today is nothing like being poor was in the 50s. So, basically, I've been there, done that, couldn't afford the t-shirt. I have no real sympathy for people who complain they're poor today when they would have been rich in the time and place I grew up.
Best education the kids could ever get!! Hands on and traveling the world!! God bless you all!!
Very lucky kids!
I found your channel a week ago and have been binge watching when i have the chance. I'm up to episode 38 and had to jump ahead to see your cat. Beautiful boat! Such a wonderful opportunity for your kids to see the world and its great to see them appreciating the cruising life more. Your improvement as sailors is remarkable after only a year. I'm sure the new Zatara will keep you safe and happy for the many sails to come. Fair winds and fun times!
Super interesting. Didn’t realize that boat buying can be an international search. Good for you enjoying an adventure with your family!
I didn’t either. It seems like there are *so many* boats! But I feel like I understand the process a lot better after watching your journey. When you live it and figure out what you really want, that narrows the field dramatically. So interesting to see how you worked through it.
It’s crazy how much the kids have grown since then! ❤️
So wonderful to see such a beautiful family "living the life." Lots of genuine smiles and a healthy approach to life. I'm sure it's not all wine and roses 24/7, but you guys are doing it! Thanks for sharing.
Having a family I'm jealous!! What fun to live like this everyday with your family!!!!
Paradise. With the family, a beautiful cat, in a beautiful country.
No beautiful cat..
@@ryandoe11 i think they meant the boat not Zuko
@@rebeccahansen3643 no, their cat recently passed
Rebecca Hansen hahah I think u may be right!!
You guys are my inspiration! I'm from Texas as well and have been working remotely for the last few years. I definitely want to do this in a few years when I no longer have to work ....I"ll be following you guys just got yourself a subscriber
My wife and I have been building our farm, orchard, vineyard with sawmill for the last 12 years. We have an adventure every day. I’ve been watching you guys for a long time because even though I do not sail, it cleanses my soul and clears my head to see others chasing their dreams too. There is so much more to life than working to pay bills to pay for stuff you really don’t need. I wish everyone could wake up every morning and do what they love, like we do. It can be done, you just have to make a plan, save your money and then go for it with everything you have. Excellent job guys. L.Wilson, U.S. Army, Ret.
Very wise words!! Thanks for watching our show! ~Renee
Just got turned onto y’all recently and love watching your journey. I’m in North Richland Hills, so feel like I can relate. Had a heart attack in January and recovered nicely, praise God, but ever since I’ve been pulled to wanting a boat to live aboard with my family. Appreciate your videos, they make me feel this life I’m being pulled towards is actually possible. 😎❤️🙏🏼
That’s just right near our old stomping grounds! We’ve got family in Keller and Denton! Thanks for watching our show! ~Renee
@@SailingZatara what’s the place you recommend for sailing lessons in Grapevine?
My family and I are working on sailing around the world. We enjoy watching your videos to keep us motivated and also educational. thank you.
Kid shaving his head out of practicality earned my thumbs up.
I’m a monohull girl, but I adore your family so I’m forgiving the cat 😂. Seriously that boat will fit your family so much better and my guess is you’re going to see everyone chill out easier with all that extra space!
the luckiest kids ever, awesome parents, congratulations!
Wow-what a small world iI know this cat from Kos , kefalols , Greece. My family is from there and use to see this boat ever year. Great to see the love you guys have put into it, all the best
Lucky kids, your parents provide you good lives and memorable childhoods.
7:22....The invisible hair flip! Lmao!!!
I know countless young ladies are devastated at this point in the video, my wife included...the gasp she made sucked all the oxygen out of our house!
Y’all have come so far. Thanks for sharing your buying experience. You didn’t say the final price you paid including the new standing rigging, but if you got it for $500k I’d consider that a darn good deal. Absolutely beautiful family and the boats not bad either😉 Cheers! Ted
I think he stated the owners paid for the new rigging? Could be wrong. Yes, it wasn't made very clear. Nice boat either way for that price.
Good because I thought that it was just me and I’d somehow missed him telling the price...
I would really like to know...
I have watched every episode 3 or 4 times now. They never have said what they paid other than saying it was more than what they wanted to spend. I am betting it was between 7 and 800k. I have looked at them for over a year and have not found one under 800k.
😊Yes, I like your openness regarding expenses and costs. I think your patience was very impressive regarding waiting for the right boat and issues with the rigging and licensing. You are to be commended!❤
Way to go Z-crew! Patience paying off. You inspire the rest of us for sure. Thanks for taking us along.
Keith & Renee - your channel is far and away the best sailing channel on YT, as you are a real family, not the young couple and their dog, so you get to experience real life situations. Yes, I'm biased because we have 6 kids too, and they absolutely make our day. Oh and the sailing is just great to see....can't wait to see you sailing the new boat. Thanks.
Jim McDonald Sailing La Vagabonde start at episode 1, it's the best content on youtube!!!
Keith, we find your videos informative and entertaining. Thank you for the efforts and for the lack of “fakeness”. Keep up the good work and we all hope things with the new boat work out. We are awaiting delivery of our Leopard 50 and will be following our own dream soon. Until then we enjoy watching your adventures with the family!
Jake cool my uncle has a leporad 40 it’s really cool he has a 2008!!
Hi guys, I am from Romania, a country where we do not even dare to dream of a life like yours. I am very happy to have found you in a world of viral nonsense and I want to tell you that your films are food for my soul hungry for life. You have the most beautiful family a man can hope for in a lifetime, thank you for sharing your precious moments with us. I don't want to end this comment before I tell you that I'm so sorry Jack got a haircut. I'm sorry for my poor English.
You guys are definitely putting dreams in our heads!! This is so exciting love what you guys are doing as a family!! 💙!!
You guys live a lifestyle that we can only dream of. I hope you all truly appreciate the wonderful opportunity all of you have.
Why not you? It’s your life man go for it
Thank you so much for the honest and transparent video. It's a breath of fresh air. Very excited to have found your channel. Looking forward to following your adventures. The time and effort put into the the filming and editing is top notch. I can appreciate the long hours and commitment. Please keep up the great work.
Man I love watching this family enjoying life and having the better things in life and I want to sail but it's a little discouraging because everything seems so insanely expensive. But I'm glad this family is having a great life. Have fun guys. 🤗
Long time viewer and love the videos. Thanks for sharing your life with the world. Stay safe Z.
Your son's haircut was SOOOOOOO brave. Good for him. Beautiful boat. With the size of your family this really looks like the best choice. Good luck going forward.
Renee & Keith are SO much kinder here than I would be! People suggesting they are trust fund babies and that's how they make this work? It's sad that nobody assumes it's from hard work, big risks, and successful business decisions (because that's how they made this possible). I know there's always trolls but KUDOS to Keith & Renee for rising above it. You're a bigger man/woman than I could be on the regular!
Glad you found a boat you like. Anyone with nasty comments about your budget needs to chill out. It's the reward for having a successful career and I'm sure a lot of hard work. My boss from my last job retired and sold her restaurant. She was 75 and had worked her butt off her whole life. Usually out in 80-100 hours a week and waited tables and bartended at her own bar. Best boss I've ever had and I'm 51. Her ex husband had died and she met a really nice guy that had his own money and his own Trimaran.. she bought a catamaran about 50 ft and they have been sailing all over the Caribbean and Bahamas ever since. They take a break in winter and live at his house in the Daytona beach area
U guys r awesome and your kids are very lucky wish that I could have grown up with parents like you guys.....
This is my dream! I am also from Montana. My dad took me sailing when I was a teenager and I have been dreaming of sailing around the world ever since. Maybe one day my family (husband and 4 kids!) will follow in your foot steps…or wake, as the case may be.
Who else is watching this is 2020 during the caronavirse
Caleb S I watched most episodes. You'll enjoy it and it will keep you sane 💁🏻♂️🌏
lol ya, I'm rewatching this in 2022....ohh the days
2022
Watching in 2022 during war in my Ukraine
Hope you did ok during the
pandemic, Caleb S.
Living a dream. Keith, you should be thankful for having a supportive wife. Truely the other half of you. God bless team zatara!
Guys, I meant to say DYFORM Rigging, It is Stainless Steel. My mind was on the Running rigging which i need to replace. Sorry for the confusion.
Gordy, you honestly have no clue
Gordy, the store is run by our teenagers, and instead of requesting donations via Patreon etc, we wish to offer you merchandise for your goodwill towards our video production efforts. To reply to your other comment about "trust funders," Keith has explained in Episode 8 (ua-cam.com/video/-0lGD1uCSDw/v-deo.html) how he worked very hard and saved for many years in order to live out this dream.
Why not do something more productive with your day than bash this family who has worked hard for years and are able to reap the rewards of hard work, big risks, and smart business decisions? As far as me living on food stamps and welfare? That gave me a good laugh and I'm sure gave Renee a good giggle too. hahaha. FWIW, I've purchased a ZGear tshirt and hat and have more cute things on my wish list. I love that the kids run the shop and are learning real world business skills. Nobody is forcing you to buy any ZGear... you can still watch and complain for free!
I shouldn't be, but this posting is living proof the internet has brought out the worst the USA and other countries have to offer. I was enjoying the video until I decided to check out some comments. What a bunch of ugly and failure in life people that hang out just to pounce on the keys since they have nothing else going on in their miserable lives. Anyway, thanks for the transparency in buying the boat, as my dad once told me, having a range of boats in his lifetime, the famous saying, " a boat is a hole in the water you throw money into", or something along those lines. It's just a matter of perception if the returns in life experiences were worth the investment and hassle, I think in this case it will be worth it. I can say that being removed from what you folks had to go through in the beginning, but I get it. Looking forward to your further adventures.
Sailing Zatara great experience
Omg!! My father was born in Samos, Greece!! We have a beautiful beach house there! I just discovered your sons TikTok and now your family UA-cam channel…such an amazing life you are living with your children! What a dream! Stay safe and I look forward to watching more videos!!!
Having a great family and being successful/lucky (lottery) can make life such an amazing experience. I hope one day I can have both and/or one of these. Life is so hard now but it is good to see someone happy.
Hey! Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do. Check out Keith’s Z-Log about money (2 was ago), it explains how we can afford to buy the boat. Cheers!

@@SailingZatara Hi there, could you possibly post a link to Keith's Z-Log about money, mentioned above? It would be most helpful, thanks in advance and I love your channel!
@@nicbel4583 ua-cam.com/video/Jyh-ntB4z60/v-deo.html
Seen how a family change, now is 2023 and this video Jack look like Finn now. It nice see how was everything when Anna was in boat. Hope see you many year to come.
This was the first video that came up in my suggestions, and the first one I watched. I've now binge watched all of them. SV Seeker got me watching boat building videos, and from there I'm watching all the major building channels (Life on the mold BTW, if you want to see a cat being built). I've been waiting for any of those guys to get a boat in the water to see what it's like after the build. I feel like you guys have filled that void for me. Excellent production value, so much that I think some of my more picky family would enjoy your videos similar (but better) to how they watch HGTV (ugh).
It's sad to reach the end of the current supply of videos, but I'm looking forward to having another channel that I have to catch up on as soon as they are released. I could go on, but I'll just say thanks for all the hard work and keep it up!
Try Salt & Tar , Tally Ho
@@garycourter3738 Already in my list!
I'm so jealous of your lifestyle and think it's great that your family has decided that family relationships and closeness is more important than the normal dad and mom going to their 9-5 jobs and missing out on the kids lives. Before you know it life has passed you by and you are left shaking your head wondering where it all went. My prayers are with you all and I'm excited to see where the winds will take you all in the future...God speed and God bless!!!
Wow...Renee... You have become such a good video producer...I guess it helps to have such a great story to tell. Continued best wishes for blue skies and following seas. Let it float away 🤙
Thank you!

You guys are awesome. Honest and kind people
The kid on the sled at 3:54 caught some serious air!!
I saw that too.. an was thinking of saying the same thing...lol * nice catch an thumbs up ...the look on his face says it all...!!!
I have done a lot of boating in my life but never on a sailboat. You guys are making me want to sail. Thanks for the wonderful videos! Best channel on UA-cam!
That Salon area is awesome, that and the beds for the kids will make the world of difference for them.
You are giving your children an experience most families o my dream of! Your amazing parents just amazing!
Congratulations. Its nice to see the kids happy, everyone smiling!
Life could be so wonderful, yet for the majority, it somehow slips thru their finger not knowing where did they go wrong. Kudos for your good direction and your nice family that made it happen. We all should live like this on this beautiful planet.
Such an awesome video and family! Sounds like the other offer owner pushed you away to a better boat.
You all are living life the way it should be. Thanks for all the great videos
I'm glad this is finally coming together for you guys.....must have been very stressful for everyone, especially for Renee and Keith. You've found a great family vessel and you all seem to like her.....I know I surely do.....
This was the first episode I've watched. What a beautiful family!!! Can't wait to go back and watch the earlier episodes and looking forward to future episodes. My wife and I plan to someday make the move to live on a boat. I'll just live vicariously through you guys for now....lol Great Job!! Thank You!!!
When I'm buying a used catamaran, I'm definitely contacting you! for help and tricks :)
i have been bed ridden for 2 years youre videos make me feel i was there with you . you dont know the joy it brings me . god bless you and may all youre sailing be joyous be ware of vaccines they are maiming alot of children .
Wow, living the dream. You need my wife and I. I speak pretty good Greek, she is a RN, we both have merchant mariners license, lol congratulations 🎈 on your beautiful cat.
Yes indeed, thumbs up to that. Great to see you back, now have better understanding of the delay in acquiring the new boat, a great video folks and your candid comments on the finances and details over purchase a fascinating insight, looking forward to the next one!
''is taking a while'' ....Welcome to Greece ;)
hahaha just been bingeing on your documentaries- what a lifestyle! Jack doing the hair flip funniest thing hahaha. Good on you guys, enjoy every moment!
I cannot wait for next episode.. i got huge smile on my face.. wow.. congratulation on ur new boat.. its worthed wait this long.. does the name never change?
The name remains the same!
...
drx1 xym, Led Zeppelin....The Song Remains the Same (as does the name)!
just had a boat surveyed and go back to florida oct 1st 2020 to close on our 2004 hunter so we can see you on the water!!! came back to this video to help understand the buying process. love the videos and keep it up!!
If I had the money I would definitely be living on a boat right now
It's possible to do it for free - or even get paid for it, as long as you're willing to learn how to sail and be the crew.
I watched your first several videos then petered out around the Dominican Republic. I checked in several months later and got the wind knocked out of my sails when Kieth whipped out a 50 cal. machine gun and started going on about rightwing/ libertarian political views that I generally don't agree with.
I came back to your channel when you switched boats just out of curiosity and was actually impressed..
Political views that I don't agree with aside, you guys are actually nice down to earth people. Nice down to earth people who are intelligent, hard working, sensitive and empathetic. I appreciate that. We live in a county that stands for the rights of its citizens to express their individual differences without censorship or political persecution. That's kinda what's great about America and why so many people around the world still flock here to enjoy "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" regardless of "race, creed or color."
"O say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
These comments are coming to you from Baltimore, Maryland USA where those famous lines were penned so many years ago.
On a side note. I like Jack's new hair cut. When's he going in the Marines?
Great episode...terrific overview of search and buying process (wouldn't mind your frequent flyer points). Look fwd to the next installment 👍

I wish there was more discussion about running costs once a vessel is purchased, everything from factoring in a realistic yearly depreciation amount to the super freak storm damage even though it almost never happens.
Ongoing costs would be very useful to those doing their homework for a “sea change”. Cheers
"Enjoyed" the cold weather, lol
What a slice of heaven. That boat is beautiful and really spacious for everyone.
Looking good! I hope and think that she'll treat you well.
Thanks for giving us a real picture of buying a big boat and what you experienced....
Still waiting on the vid about boat brokers.
The corn will be popped for that one!
🔶Jack Re 7:07 use a detangler brush, hold your hair from the top and start brush out from the bottom to upwards. Once the hair is smooth, which happens quickly then you can brush or comb it out. I have experience and yours is better quality looking than mine.
🔷Another thought: You can get a stylist to cut it in a way that you can keep it long, but so that it falls into place without bothering you no matter if you comb, brush, or run your fingers through it
The fullcut baldness was ruinous, but you do look like one of those varsity swimmers after that.
Just found this page and am flabbergasted you don't have more subs. Felt like I was watching a cable tv show. Will be going back and watching old episodes to catch up!
I noticed on your video for the Atlantic crossing you had the stars and strips on the boat. Did I miss the video where you explained how you finally got the deal closed and changed the boat from a Greek flagged to a US flagged. I do enjoy how honestly you cover subjects such as this. Great sailing !
At what point in the video do you actually discuss the costs involved? I cannot find it amidst all the heart-warming family moments...
Don't know how you make your money but I'm glad to see how things go during looking and purchasing such a nice boat. it's great. Running my business while raising my two daughters through college took a good chunk of money.. Glad to see how someone can do it, sailing is a wonderful way to experience life. Good luck!
Unfortunately, some European "deals" are NOT as represented, additionally, the complexities and additional costs can easily eat up any savings...
Beautiful boat. I swear before I die ima learn to sail
New to your channel - love your show! We are in the process of buying a Lagoon 440 - with Solomon drives(!!) - and will hopefully connect one day with you. Our channel will be up (we hope) in August. Fair winds, new friends!
Nice! I have added your channel to my list as we speak. I just love all those sailing channels......especially the catamaran channels. :)
Love!!! You are our first real subscriber - taking your name down to give you some props when we get our channel going. Guess what? We put the offer in today for the Cat. Our fingers, toes, and paws (well, the paws belong to Sparky, our dog) are crossed that the offer is accepted. THANK YOU FOR SUBBING!!
Just loved your family and what you all did together to find and achieve your new boat. Fantastic video, thanks!! Aussie
10:57 aaron paul still breaking bad
I'm green with envy. Beautiful boat, beautiful life, beautiful family!
So how much was the boat? I couldnt sit through any more.
Wow, a great fun and learning adventure for the entire family. I'll bet it was a great experience. God bless you and thank you for sharing. What kind of work does mom and dad do? Love the hair cut scene. What a great group of youngsters. Great children from awesome parents. Incredible way to learn about boats and the world around you. This is how a family makes memories.
Z Crew, So happy for you guys. Prediction: VAT tax in USA in the next 10 years to fund single payer health system. I hope I am wrong but as a retired politician I think the writing is on the wall. VAT tax in Bahamas actually decreased some revenue. The governments answer was to raise the Vat tax even higher. Any way enough of that. Really excited for the next adventure to begin. GOD bless this beautiful family. JC
Politicians always promise a gullible public that they'l gouge the rich to pay for public welfare projects. What they never say is that there aren't enough rich people out there - even if you confiscated everything they have - to pay for a lifetime of free cake and circuses.
I clicked the link thinking "Hey what an interesting UA-cam show, oh these are yachts?"
And in the comments of course there's rich people talking about taxes like a disaster and comparing giving poor Americans access to lifesaving healthcare as "cake and circuses."
Check out the costs of the current US health care system vs proposed single payer solutions. Guess what... The single payer solutions are actually, believe it or not, cheaper.www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/7/23/1682312/-Universal-health-care-would-save-17-trillion
JCAJCA3 glad you’re retired, the American people deserve a single payer system.
So true. Too bad the children below believe their public school leftist progressive indoctrination over using some critical thinking. It isn't enough that Marxists have killed millions and millions of people in multiple tries for utopia.
At first I thought what are you doing chopping his hair off! But he act suits a short cut..
Love this channel, thanks for sharing these adventures and in particular for being so honest about costings etc. Many of us follow these channels with the dream of one day doing something similar but very few of these channels cover costs etc. Keep up the great work, awesome family!
What’s best boat for starters if to sail internationaly?
You seems to know how to stick handle your way through a variety of details in the buying process. There is no shortage of these. I commend you on your patience in dealing with these hurdles.
great info on the rust in rigging. thx.
At least you guys were together as a family through all that, and were able to fix the boat up.
Please, please. Get more in depth on VAT issues, and what you expect to pay to transfer owner ship to the states. How did verify a clean title?

You guys Rock I’m jealous!what a cool adventure with your family.
Awesome content!!!

Congratulations..
Great to see you back. Wishing you the best great times in the future. What a wonderful experience for your kids.
