1. SV Delos
Brian embarked on an around the world sailing trip and has made friends along the way.
In May 2008 Brian Trautman set off from Seattle, to embark on an around the world trip on his boat Delos (53ft Mel Super Maramu), with no intentions of becoming a YouTuber or travel blogger. He just wanted to take a trip across the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand. When he reached New Zealand he was wishing for more, so he continued to Australia — and so it began. Somewhere along the way, SV Delos (Sailing Vessel Delos) was born.
SV Delos has become a hugely popular sailing channel and blog with sailing videos, travel guides, gear reviews, merchandise, and more. Delos and its crew have travelled to over 45 countries, sailed 70,000 ocean miles, and produced over 300 YouTube videos. They also fund their adventures through Patreon and by selling sailing gear and branded merchandise.
The crew has changed over the years but Brian is still aboard with his wife Karin and their young daughter Sierra. Friends and fellow sailors have come and gone — some planned short visits that turned into years.
The Delos crew now runs contests to find new crew members and has turned the blog into a creative business with filmmakers, writers, and ocean lovers becoming part of the extended team. In 2024, they released their cinematic four-part docu-series 80 North, chronicling their expedition to the Arctic aboard Delos.

2. Swell Voyage
Liz is a Californian surfer, environmentalist, captain, and published author.
Swell Voyage is owned and captained by Liz Clark, a surfer and environmentalist from California. After studying environmental studies and competing on her college surf team, Liz worked on boats around the world before eventually setting sail solo.
She became the captain of her own 40ft sailboat, Swell, and in 2006 departed California to pursue a lifelong dream of “surf exploration.” Since then, she’s logged over 20,000 nautical miles to remote breaks around the globe. Swell is powered by wind and solar, and Liz is a passionate climate advocate — living and sailing in a way that aligns with her values.
In recent years, Liz has focused on ocean conservation, advocacy writing, and sharing lessons through her journey. Her book, published by Patagonia Books, tells the story of her adventures, challenges, and awakenings at sea. In 2024 and early 2025, she continued anchoring in the South Pacific, giving talks and focusing on education and outreach.
You can follow her inspiring journey on Instagram, read insightful sailing blogs on her site, or dive into her published work for a deeper look at sustainable living at sea.
3. Sailing La Vagabonde
Sailing La Vagabonde has over 1.5 million YouTube followers
Perhaps the most well-known sailing couple in the world, Sailing La Vagabonde is the Australian duo Riley and Elayna, joined by their young son Lennon. Since 2014, they’ve sailed and documented over 90,000 nautical miles across the Mediterranean, Atlantic, Caribbean, and Pacific oceans.
Their website offers sailing tips, a cruising guide, and branded merchandise, while Elayna also shares her original music. With over 280 videos on YouTube, the couple shares insights into boat life, sailing skills, and the joys and challenges of raising a child at sea.
In 2024 and early 2025, the family completed another Atlantic crossing aboard their electric-powered catamaran, continuing to champion ocean sustainability through their content. Their recent episodes highlight life onboard, homeschooling, and cutting-edge marine tech — all delivered with their trademark authenticity.

4. Sailing Britican
Successful CEO who gave up corporate life for a life on the ocean with her family.
Kim Brown was once a successful CEO living the corporate life when she decided to leave that all behind to buy a dream yacht and sail the world with her husband Simon and daughter Sienna.
The name Britican comes from the fact that Kim is American and her husband Simon is British. They purchased a 346 Moody named Selene and set sail from England on a world adventure. Their blog documents onboard life, destinations visited, and includes over 400 sailing articles, a membership area, videos, and an active YouTube channel.

5. Sailing Uma
A couple who live by the motto “..if you want to travel the world, don’t buy a couch”
Couple Dan and Kika are the faces of Sailing Uma. Dan was born and raised in Canada and Kika in Haiti before moving to the U.S. for university. They met while studying architecture in Atlanta, but after the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Kika decided life was too short for a desk job. They bought a 1972 Pearson 36 and set out to explore the world—engine-free.
Since then, they’ve sailed to over 22 countries and more than 18,000 nautical miles, including a full Caribbean loop and Mediterranean leg. Their motto: “Don’t buy a couch,” continues to inspire fans to choose adventure over comfort.
In 2024–2025, they completed a major refit in Portugal and resumed sailing across southern Europe. Recent YouTube episodes spotlight sustainable upgrades, silent passages without engines, and their minimalist lifestyle at sea. Their channel continues to grow with beautifully edited, thought-provoking sailing content.

6. MJ Sailing
An American couple who turned their hobby into a lifestyle.
Americans Matt and Jess discovered sailing as a hobby in 2008 and quickly became hooked. They bought their first boat, then upgraded to a Sabre 34 Targa in 2010. By 2012, they had sold their house, moved in with family, and set sail from the U.S. to explore the Bahamas, Cuba, Central America, and South America—crossing the Atlantic twice along the way.
After selling their monohull in 2020, they began designing and building their dream performance cruising catamaran, documenting every stage of the process on YouTube. Their blog includes tips, destination guides, and over 170 videos capturing their boat builds and sailing adventures.

7. Project Atticus
Jordan and Desiree are sailing around the world on a budget.
Project Atticus was born when Jordan and Desiree met working on a superyacht in 2012 and discovered their shared dream of global travel. After purchasing a 1963 Allied Seawind 30 for $5,000, they spent over three years restoring her—transforming the project into a popular video series about affordable bluewater sailing.
In recent years, they upgraded to “Atticus II” and have been exploring the South Pacific. Their channel now features gear reviews, destination guides, and weekly episodes that combine honest storytelling with a focus on life afloat on a modest budget.

8. Trio Travels
A family of three who sold almost all their belongings to live a simpler life and travel.
Trio Travels is made up of Brad, Krista, and their son Cole — a Canadian family who sold most of what they owned in 2015 to pursue a slower, more meaningful life at sea aboard their 42’ catamaran. Since then, they’ve sailed over 17,000 nautical miles and visited more than 45 countries, mostly throughout the Caribbean.
Their YouTube series documents family cruising life, complete with school-at-sea moments, boat repairs, and island explorations. Their videos are divided into themed seasons and episodes that are approachable and family-friendly, making them a favourite among parents dreaming of setting sail.
After a brief break from full-time sailing, they returned to the Caribbean in 2024 with renewed energy and fresh content focused on family dynamics, safety at sea, and remote learning aboard. Their recent episodes offer a heartfelt window into cruising with kids in tow.

9. Sailing Zingaro
A young couple rebuilding and voyaging after storm damage.
Sailing Zingaro is led by James and Kim, a dynamic couple sailing a 1984 Crowther Spindrift 38 catamaran, originally home-built in Canada. Known for their no-nonsense approach and technical deep dives, they’ve covered over 25,000 miles across the Pacific, South America, and Central America while documenting it all on YouTube.
Their channel stands out for detailed sailing systems breakdowns, refit content, and raw, honest storytelling — often including the gritty realities of life aboard. In 2023, they suffered significant storm damage but spent much of 2024 rebuilding and upgrading Zingaro themselves.
Now back at sea, James and Kim are sharing a new wave of content focused on autonomy, self-reliance, and tech gear for cruisers. Their recent videos are a goldmine for sailors seeking serious insight into catamaran living off-grid.

Australian couple sailing Southeast Asia and raising a family at sea.
Sailing Nandji follows Bonita, Yosh, and their son Malaky, an Australian family who swapped land life for full-time sailing aboard their 40ft yacht, Nandji. Since departing in 2016, they’ve sailed tens of thousands of nautical miles across the Pacific, Indonesia, and Southeast Asia.
In recent years, their YouTube channel has grown rapidly, documenting life onboard with a toddler, navigating remote archipelagos, and tackling boat maintenance in far-flung locations. With over 200 videos, their channel is a mix of family life, cruising adventure, and resourceful living off-grid.

11. Sailing Tranquilo
A family of three embracing a slower, sustainable cruising lifestyle.
Sailing Tranquilo is made up of Fi, El, and their son Aiden, who set off in 2017 on a 20,000NM journey around the world. Sailing aboard their 46-foot yacht, they’ve chronicled their family adventures through detailed blogs, stunning photos, and a growing YouTube presence.
While earlier years saw them moving quickly through international waters, 2024–2025 has been a season of slowing down. They’ve been anchored in the South Pacific, focusing on sustainability, local engagement, and mindful living. Their updates reflect this shift, offering inspiration for cruisers exploring deeper connections with place and community.
Their content is calm, thoughtful, and beautifully crafted — ideal for readers interested in the quieter, intentional side of sailing life with family.

12. Sailing Ruby Rose
Sailors, creators, and storytellers with a passion for design and adventure.
Nick and Terysa met on a tour of India and Nepal in 2009 and bonded over a shared love of travel and the sea. After years of sailing aboard their Southerly 38, they set their sights on something new: designing a modern cruising catamaran from the ground up.
In 2023, they launched their new boat—Ruby Rose 2—and began sailing her across Europe, sharing the full journey with their audience. Their blog and YouTube channel are a rich mix of technical reviews, sailing lifestyle content, and insights into yacht ownership.

13. Gone With The Wynns
Off-grid sailors exploring French Polynesia and living sustainably at sea.
In 2011, Jason and Nikki Wynn swapped their conventional life for a journey of exploration, starting with RV travel across North America before transitioning to ocean cruising aboard S/V Curiosity, a Leopard 43 catamaran. Their adventures evolved into Gone With The Wynns, a well-loved blog and YouTube channel that showcases sustainable living and full-time travel.
In 2024–2025, they remained based in French Polynesia, focusing on remote island exploration and upgrading their catamaran’s off-grid capabilities. From solar arrays to watermakers, their content is a valuable resource for anyone seeking independence at sea. Their storytelling blends technical know-how with cinematic flair, inspiring thousands to rethink how they live and travel.

The BALI 4.6 is recognizable at first glance thanks to the new design of its hulls with fine arches and its new very elegant lines drawn by Xavier Fäy and Samer Lasta. The BALI 4.6 benefits from all the innovations signed by CatanaGroup that make up the DNA of the BALI:
Did we mention the Bali 4.6? Love to hear more though!
