As you said no one budget fits all, I would hazard that if YOU compared each year that you sailed they would vary massively. Also because you will get your hands dirty, you can reduce a lot of expenses in most categories...I came across your channel when you bunked with "ODD" and "Expedition Evens" at the Boat Show, slowly catching up to your current location and content. Take care, stay safe and sail on.

We don’t really have health insurance as such....so we have been caught out a couple of times...having an emergency and just having to pay the big bucks! But thankfully....touch wood it only happens once in a blue moon! 😀thanks for watching 😍see you next week

I'm thinking if you get an aluminum boat than the maintenance will be much less to take care of the hull.

You're living on the 'cheap'. My wife and I live in Florida, house, cars paid for. We don't pay interest to anybody and yet our monthly expenses are $3,ooo plus. We haven't gone anywhere in the last 5 years (unlike you). That does not include a new roof every 15 years @$15,000 or A/C @ $8,000 or pool renewal @ 10,000. Just trying to make you feel better. You're doing alright! Also noticed your constant vlog improvements over the last 96 episodes. Becoming more and more "entertaining and watchable" (is that a new word?).

$1,102 total.. you forgot to show a total... More importantly HOW do you pay for it.. What's the income stream???

@ston3kill3r 2 жыл бұрын

So the cruising life really cost about the same as having and running a house , with insurance , maintenance and cost of living (depending on your lifestyle) but you have the bonus of being able to move to a new neighbourhood when ever you want

So how do have the equivalent money coming in to support yourself? Is it all out of a savings? Or do you earn as you go somehow? I’d gladly take this up full time but I don’t have $2000/month to stay afloat

@Shrouded_reaper 10 ай бұрын

It definitely doesn't need to be this expensive. Frugal sailors on small boats are running a couple hundred a month.

The lady (aka first mate?) was dressed in such Paco Rabane style that would justify minimum half of that grand per annum whatever figure! Am sitting at zero $ anchorage at Hiva Oa and looking fwd to a very expensive wine party w you folks when you get over here (look out for SV "Single Malt"). Yep, Galapagos was a disappointment.

@lutomson3496 2 жыл бұрын

The one cost no one wants to talk about is opportunity cost and or o lack therof..living a nomadic lifestyle can be cheap you are exchanging that lifestyle instead of working time working saving for when you are older you are losing out on that cost can never be recovered as investing young pays volumes when you are older. ask me how I know this it happened to me....enjoy your channel a lot and journeys!

What category and how much did you spend over the past 12 months on propane for cooking etc? Keep up the videos, great viewing.

We put it in the other category. And we use very little over 3 months. E.g - 1 bottle at a cost of 6-10$ for 3 months.

"How much does it really cost to live on a Sailboat?" In reality, everything you have. If you are smart 10% of your income goes into investments that grow faster than the rate of inflation. This gives you an "emergency fund". And obviously smaller boats cost less than larger boats. Remember this is always measured by displacement not length. Food seems to cost about the same regardless of boat size.
