Honestly, how sweet was it when Jack and Finn were holding each other crying and at the same time they both have their vlogging cameras pointed at themselves? I found a little bit of humor in that. But very sweet to see two brothers ( and the whole family) so tightly bonded.

Until then we will miss their presence in all your videos, you're a fantastically close family and a joy to watch and to be a part of your you tube family.

You guys are like distant family and I'm so proud to be in the Zatara family. Renee and Keith, you guys are so loving and caring. You should be proud of being such good parents and being an example and a light into the vast darkness we are surrounded every day. Thank You!

As they were rolling the reel of Jack and Kate over the years, I was shocked to realize I've been watching these kids grow up for the last 7 years! I've always thought that maybe Renee and Keith held on a little too tight to their kids but at the same time I was deeply moved by the show of emotion as they all said goodbye to one another. It's very sweet how tight this family is.

It's all so sad that they grow up and fly away and so wonderful to watch them spread their wings and become successful adults. You have a wonderful bond, something you don't see in all families. New exciting experiences to bring wonder and amazement, and a new life to mold to your liking. What more could you want in life? Safe travels Zatara crew. Still following - absolutely.

I'm crying for y'all. I'm gonna miss them so much. I know not more than you, but in a kind of weird way, y'all are my extended family. I am thankful Jack has a channel and will see Kate too and follow their adventures. It's gonna be the same for Finn. Again, my heart hurts for you all.

I reckon we're all gonna miss Kate & Jack soo bloody much! This episode was absolutely difficult ~ watching the Zatara Family go their separate ways! The Whitakers have become KZfaq's "Sailing Family!" Many of your subscribers and friends, have truly taken to you all. I'm 26-years old and me girlfriend is 24-years, and we both just leaked tears for several minutes, watching you all say "Goodbye" at the airport. Bloody hell... that was difficult to watch mate! Then when you started flashing pictures of the kids as lil' tots, growing up on Zatara....That's when the flood gates opened! My goodness, has time flown by! We pray for a safe flight and journey to Kate & Jack, as they travel to Tonga. Enjoy Tonga, more importantly, ENJOY LIFE! To the rest of Zatara, safe passage on your cruise down South! Cheers from Margaret River, Western Australia 🇦🇺.

Awe, Renee and Keith, my heart hurts for you as Jack and Kate go onto Tonga, I know you’re going to miss having them onboard just as we’re going to miss seeing the fun entertainment they always bring to the viewers! A BIG congrats too to Anna on her college graduation, it’s a humbling reminder of how quickly our children “grow up” and adventure out into this world on their own. You both have to take comfort and have full confidence in knowing you’ve raised great, responsible and caring children, now it’s time to sit back and relax, and soak up the pride as you watch them all spread their wings and fly! Mountains do exist, and they’re made to be moved, good luck to you all and please be safe. ❤️
