We think it's important to share why we’re so passionate about teaching you what we've learned about sailing. See, we teach it because we live it. It wasn’t too long ago that we were trying to figure out how to chart our journey and set sail. We did all the research, watched the YouTube videos, and read thousands of articles and blog posts. Everyone was saying something different! It was overwhelming and made the decision to start our adventure even harder. Quite frankly, we were nearly terrified... But we didn't give up on our dream life. Through trial and error we found what works, and more importantly, what doesn’t work. Over the last few years, we’ve been able to help change thousands of people’s lives by sharing our experiences.

Who is this class for?

  • Aspiring sailors who want to turn their world sailing dreams into reality
  • ​Families who want the freedom to explore the world and share a life-changing adventure.
  • ​Individuals who want to retire early or take a sabbatical and embark on a multi-year world cruise on their yacht.

What Will I Learn?

So here's the plan for the online class. We want to help you build confidence as a sailor, eliminate self-doubt, and know you are ready, even if you have no experience and have never sailed before. We'll be sharing everything we can fit into 90 minutes with you.

We will be covering topics from finances to boat selection and the purchase process. The only real constraint to going bluewater cruising is health. Many people believe it’s money. We’re going to walk you through exactly what the sailing lifestyle you want to live will cost and leave you with a tangible number you can make real-life decisions around. Most aspiring cruisers have never purchased a boat before in their lives, or if they have it’s not been a boat they are going to go full-time on. Boat buying can be exciting, and it can be stressful. As a result, many people spend much more than they need to when they buy their first boat. We’re going to help you get crystal clear on what you need and what you don’t need to live the quality of life you want out on the water.
