Yo, I’ve a defever 44 in Spain and my uk mechanic can’t seem to get power to helm - he says :Is there a switch I’m missing to get power to the dashboard? Any suggestions ? Cheers ?

Where were these 3 yacht clubs located?

As soon as Tom retires, he can toss ALL those suits and your closet space is solved! LOL ;)

Hello❤ from Germany

Not in California. Rich people.

I stumble into your video by accident. Really nice. We used to be a Cabrillo Marina. We are currently at Coral Marina in Ensenada. If you like wine and great food come down the first week of July for the wine and food festival. Best in the world. There are several boats that come from SD and Newport. Coral Marina is great and safe. Cheers!! Jose and Martha M/V Pilar 1979 Hatteras 60

Marina have a minimun lenght for a live aboard that makes it much more restrictive for boats....

If everyone buys a boat the slip pricing will go sky high . Im just saying

A Trash Compactor is a Must Have for ne ! Had one in my condo. A stair saver 😂 !

Spit on it before you put it in the hole.

Hello! How are you? I've seen two your videos. Like the monthly expense you did. Very encouraging. I live in the lower desert. I used live in Oceanside. Really miss he coast like life. I hope to get a motor yacht by the end of the year. I wanted to know is what marina in San Diego you live in? The location and scenery looks very nice.

. hey there y’all . Capt. suspenseful, thought it was gonna be wet . Great footage .

This is crazy for people to dump hundreds of thousands of dollars on a depreciating money pit that is a boat. A $1M boat could lose half its value in 5 years vs a house that could increase in value by 50% in 5 years. I became a millionaire by investing in appreciating assets over years and I did not waste my money buying a boat. I bought an old 3bed and 2bath single family house in San Jose California for 800K in 2019. Now it is worth $1.4M and interest rates are at 7%! Unless you guys are already very wealthy, it is all fun and games until reality hits. The boating industry is always looking for suckers to buy their overprice products. There is the old saying that the happiest day for a boat owner is the day he buys the boat and the day he sells the boat.

The panic button. 😁 It looks like the boat was converted to single lever electronic throttle and shift controls and there was a cover plate made for the levers that were removed. Someone with a sense of humor decorated that plate. 👍

I agree about the BIKES!

I think that you jinxed the Whaler by complimenting it so much! On the upside I think that the ass over elbows incident makes a great Olukai flip flop spot! sponsorship opportunity?

A fuse doesn’t have a “Short”, it has an “Open”.

It looked a really lovely day out. :) Hope the Captain's elbow isn't too sore. Watching from Queensland, Australia.

Your grandson is adorable!

its been so long ! Great to see y'all back!

Good for you guys enjoy I just retired from Arizona from construction now I am thinking on getting in on a boat to live on I want to fix one up sinch I have a construction remodeling houses yes I know boats are different but I want to learn now I'm living here in San Deigo wanted to be closer to my daughter and her family I have never done anything like this before but I am Looking

Cali marinas are expensive AF. Like he said in that one video not for the faint of heart.

$18,000

So many thoughts and ideas of how we can do things differenty in our lives. You continue to be an inspiration for us. I feel like I get messages to take a leap in some direction on a continuous basis. This is another message. I hope you two are well and happy. It looks like you definitely are!!!

Hello, I happened to find your channel by researching on how to live in a boat (planning to buy one by 2026). It will be my first time, I've never lived in a boat but my husband did own one years ago. I am excited and anxious to really jump on this chance...we do not have kids, just a fur baby, Sasha and skittish newly adopted kitten, Blue. Thanks for a wonderful video!

Its a trawler.

Thanx4post

. hey there y’all . Super cute share between both gung-ho futures . Super 2 sea ya back .

So I could live in a 2 bed 2 bath 2 car garage gated community next to Malibu,ca for the same price….nice!!

Yikes. It is way more than I thought lots of upkeep. Apt would be about the same price and there would be no maintenance. I would love to live in a boat for a year though.

That wasn’t an accident. You got set up. They knew you would buy a bigger boat if you were out in a little boat at that time. It’s an illness without a cure!! 😂😂 Thanks for the story. 😊

due to inflation B.O.A.T is now spelled B.O.A.T.T. = Break out another ten thousand

You guys are my motivation....recently found a Island Gypsy 44 in Japan and it has a ton of space like your yacht. Glad to see your video! Arigoto from Japan

That's an awesome way to get into boat life. I love it. :)

What a great story! Love it! Will keep watching, my daughter is in Pacific Beach… maybe I can visit and have a sundowner with y’all!

Love this!!! We aspire to have the option to live aboard one day - at least for a weekend to a couple of weeks! Thanks for sharing your tips!!! ❤

I have just found your videos in the UTUBE. Great job U'all! Your approach to a liveboard life with the content of your videos, it is what I am looking for. At my late 60 ties, I am now starting to move to my boat, a 48' slow trawler. Jana and I are married for 47 years and just now we have time to move aboard. Thank you once more! we R really learning, confirming, and have a good time with your videos! By the way, sorry for the English, yet I bet my English is a lot better than your Portuguese!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's alwais the damn hatc to the fly bridge. Want to avoid it? Buy a boat without fly bridge!!!!

Boy they love there accessories

It’s funny you said queen bed! Our first boat we bought, 1988 Chris Craft 381 and it has a king size bed. As our 3 kids are getting older, we started looking at maybe going bigger but it’s hard to find boats with king size beds. I feel the boat is not real sporty looking, but the boat has so much comfort room aboard.

Congratulations, I'm really happy for you both. :) Watching as usual from Queensland, Australia. 😊😊 Though I've not seen your videos for awhile. Perhaps I missed something, I'm unsure, but I'm happy to se your videos again. 😊

Hi Andrea and Tom! Great info thank you. Quick question.. did you have to get on a waitlist to get approved to be liveaboards or did you get approved right away? Cheers!!

good job !

We have looked at Defever's, but I am concerned about the steep stairs to staterooms. How do you manage to get down them without falling?

Susie & I would love to meet up for a drink with you two sometime. We’re docked at Marina Cortez. 🥂
