Can the average person afford to cruise a small boat? Everyone is talking about inflation, but is the cost of cruising going up? We take a close look at the numbers with our annual expenditures. We dive deep into everything from boat insurance to health insurance, provisioning, land travel, fuel expenses, etc.

If you have a really strong equity position and a high rent area, that can work but otherwise there are other investment instruments that far outperform real estate. If we were going to have a small land base of some sort, which would be nice I suppose, we wouldn't rent it.

Smaller boat/Monohull with some comfort and coffee is $$, and small boat, no water/fridge/ac and reusing the coffee bags multiple times is $. Got it. I have heard some countries in the pacific are requiring proof of funds in an account equal to the cost of you purchasing an airline ticket home because of issues with people coming over on nothing and trying to live for free in these areas.

The bigger the boat and the more systems onboard, the higher the expenses. At one end is Sam Holmes sailing a 22 foot Ranger from Los Angeles to Hawaii and sailing around Hawaii with a gimbled sterno for a galley and a bucket for a head. At the other end is Delos, who is continuously upgrading. You almost have to do a 20 year cycle to get a good yearly average. Over that time, multiple upgrades and refits would be averaged in.

@tomriley5790 2 жыл бұрын

I don't think Delos has upgraded much - apart from their internet that they got for free, most of their stuff is fixing things that have broken.

@TheOKellys 2 жыл бұрын

@lowellmccormick6991 2 жыл бұрын

@@tomriley5790 There is a pretty long list of upgrades on Delos starting with their excellent dingy (sponsored). They've replaced their rigging themselves ($10.000+/_), electronics at least once, upgraded their solar system (the Victron 3K inverter in Madagascar was paid for with cash), installed a new 8K generator (sponsored) in South Africa, new air conditioning unit(s), new washing machine, new sails, bottom jobs, stills (2nd one sponsored), cameras, drones & laptops. Those are the items off the top of my head. Granted, Brian does a lot of the work himself and saves lots of money but the average cruiser won't have the sponsorships and maybe not have the ability to fix things themselves. I think Brian mentioned during one of his talks that his yearly costs were about 10-15% of the value of the boat. That was years ago. More systems, more money.

@tomriley5790 2 жыл бұрын

@@lowellmccormick6991 Most of that isn't upgrades - it's requried maintenace or to replace stuff breaking. Dinghy - necessary (old one would have fallen apart by now probably), Electronics - you can count that as an upgrade - previously it was a Pc screen with I suspect a program Brian had written, they never went into the original but yep B&G helped them. New Generator - upgrade, I don't recall them replacing the AC so not sure if it was an upgrade or the old system falling apart. Washing machine was to replace the old one that had failled. Sails, bottom jobs are all necessary boat maintenace, Sam has to do this too. The most major upgrade I can recall is their internet connection and solar. Cameras drones laptops are all part of being a youtube chanel at sea - technologgy moves on salt water kills electronics and drones crash - more systems more money yes but that's reflected in necesary maintance of those systems rather than upgrades.

@LoanwordEggcorn 2 жыл бұрын

@@tomriley5790 Agree a majority of those are maintenance items and not upgrades. And 10-15% per year in maintenance costs is in line with what others have mentioned for full time cruisers. That said, it helps that Delos can do most of the work themselves. That seems to be nearly a requirement for successful cruising, for example when you physically can't pay someone else to fix it because you're in the middle of the ocean, and/or to make it relatively affordable. So it kind of self-selects for people who can do much of the work themselves, or are wealthy enough to pay others to do it in port. Probably most are a balance between those.

If you're American, you can generally obtain the "Three months' of medications (Atorvastatins, Insulin, Elequis, etc) for the price of two" through your insurance company (with or without co-pay), and have it shipped to the closest port. The shipping can run up a bit, but you'll have your meds and peace of mind. From what some Canadian friends have told me, who winter down in San Felipe, Baja California, it runs about US $45 to ship down their meds, if they've run out during the trip.

great vid as usual, it would have been nice to have other cruisers to share and compare their expenses, (not everyone would do that), in the music intro, was that you on the guitar...thank you for sharing your lives, always inspirational.

I wish....that was a sample. But I am working on it. It's a tough instrument.

I got way behind on your videos working on some projects. Trying to catch up now. My question is are you able to write off any of the money you spend as business expense's since you run a KZfaq channel? Good luck with the new boat. I haven't got to that video yet. 🙂 Thanks for the video. Sail On!

If only I could figure out how to purchase the boat, the rest of the expenses, even maintenance would be doable. Have you ever considered investing in solar cookers? With just the two of you, I bet you could cut your propane costs by 80+ percent.

I'm hoping you see this question.... I'm wondering what your Vaccine status is and if that has been an issue with the places you have visited. I'm looking to jump onto a boat and get started on a 3yr journey.

Thanks! Naturally, you should be pointing out how living vicariously thru your channel, you are saving us viewers THOUSANDS of dollars and YEARS of time. Now it's time to pay up!
