- Today I'm going to go into detail on my lifestyle and explain to you guys why I chose to purchase A boat over buying A house! In this video I run you through every detail about my boat! Including all the features on the upper deck and lower deck. My Hunter 301 Is 31Ft long and has 2 nice sized cabins on board. It also has tons of hidden compartments and storage space. Later in the video we're going to take it out sailing in the open Pacific Ocean, also anchor and do some backflips in the harbor. I also have two dogs Maui, and Kiki who are the best boat dogs ever and join in on all my adventures. I'm located in sunny California! Hope you all enjoy the video!! Comment if you made it through the entire description! I will make sure to respond to you.

Nice set up. I noticed the well stocked supply of wine.. : )
Can't wait for more videos much love 😍
My wife and I did this for 3 years. SV Living At The Coast. This is doable and a cheaper way to live. Young people just have a hard time in So Cal. 31 foot is great for Christa. For two people I would go for 38 to 40 ft min. Note that Christa`s boat is newer and does not have bright work. (wood). This is good for lower maintenance. If you have never sailed, go get some lessons. You will see if this is for you. The price of the slip usually includes water and power.
How fun! I love my boat, it is the perfect size! Thank you for the support!
Congrats and good luck with the new boat. It's great to see you really know your stuff ... let the adventure continue!
Thank you!! Adventure awaits ⛵️🌊
Congrats on your new boat
Im looking forward to more awesome content like this💯💯
Thank you! More coming soon!
That was actually really awesome! I am subscribed to a lot of sailing channels but I like you fresh perspective.
Thank you so much! Wow I really appreciate the support 🙌🏼⛵️
You are one of the first sailing channels that I have came across that really does step by step visual instructions on certain aspects of getting underway! Very cool
That’s awesome!! Thank you so much for the comment! I’m glad you enjoy it!!
So good 😊
I'm thinking about the Hunter 31 as a great loop boat. Your information here here is priceless to me. Thank you. Subbed
Awesome that you are doing this! I just subscribed and hope to see you grow as a sailor.
Thank you for the support! More videos to come! ⛵️⛵️🙌🏼
Good for you! Wishing you many safe voyages in the future. Love The Gone Sailing Sign!
Thank you!! I appreciate the support ⛵️🙌🏼
@@CaptainChrista Sure, we're in the same boat over here on the east coast. Boston, New York Real Estate and rents keep going up. During covid, many young families-people left the city and moved out to the country.. I wish I could afford the lifestyle of a Boston apt and a small boat. It is nice to have the convenience and flexability of both. Check out Nomads w/ cabin so cute.
Great video!! Thank you!!
Thank you!!! 😊
Captain Christa you have a beautiful boat. Your positive energy is so enjoyable to watch. It’s your journey to master would say it’s off to a real exciting and enjoyable one at that. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! I appreciate your kind comment! Thank you for the support!
What an excellent, rapid fire tour of your boat. Everything was mentioned, and well explained.
I too find the cost of living a bit much, and the allure of the ocean far more appealing then land life.
Thank you
Thank you for the support! My goal eventually is to be on the hook full time 😎
Love your boat! Enjoy 😊
Thank you!! Me too!!
Congrats on your new home 👍
From one pirate to another, "wherever we want to go, we'll go"
Awesome backflips btw 👍 I 😎
Yes we will 😎 and thank you!!! I appreciate the support 😊⛵️
At first I didn’t want to watch this video. Just a Bikini girl and clicks, blah blah.
Turns out, Captain Christa is a fun and competent ambassador for sailing. We need more of you to promote sailing to the younger generation.
I’m a sucker for a good Hunter. Used to own a 1976 Hunter 30. I think my “dream” boat would be the Passage 42
Keep it up Capt’n
Great video and all the best for your future adventures. I'm in the UK and the same situation as you were, can't get a house so going for a motor cruiser at some point in the next year. Looking forward to seeing how you get on, bon voyage(s)!
Thank you!! More coming soon 😊 so excited for you to get a motor cruiser!
@@CaptainChrista Thank you!
Looks like an awesome life!!
It is so far! Thank you 🙌🏼
Congratulations, nice sailboat ⛵️
Greetings from the garden island Kauai, Hawaii !
Thank you! Wow what a beautiful place! I hope to visit there one day!
The sailing lifestyle is like nothing else. See you out there, my fellow pirate!
It’s amazing! Hopefully our paths will cross! I love meeting fellow pirates 🏴☠️😎
I like that she took time to show how the table transformed into the bed. Very cool video.
Thank you!
Also very beautiful boat, awesome new home.
Thank you!!
Captain C. I stumbled on your ch am glad I did. While I’m not into boating, I like to learn the sailing / motoring aspects. I watch Sailing Uma, MV Freedom, NautiStyles etc all to learn the tech aspects of boating. I like the fact you share what it takes to sail. Hope you can continue. Perhaps you can share more about your sailing history etc. stay well and safe.
Thank you for the support! I definitely plan to continue! Thanks again you too!
Living the dream ✊🏻🏴
😊😊😊
Lovely Capt; ❤️👍🏼💪⚓⛵❤️
Thank you!
That’s awesome and so are you! I just picked up a 1997 Hunter Passage 450 at a lien sale for $30,000.00 because the previous owner abandoned the boat at a boatyard in California. I’m currently in La Paz Mexico with the boat by myself.
What an awesome boat for an incredible price! Sounds like you are on an adventure of your own! So cool!! 😎🌊⛵️
Congrats young girl. It's great. Nice freedom and chalange. All the best. You have beautiful energies, you're on good path.
thank you!
Nice. You'll do fine. Wishing you the best, all the way from France.
Oh wow all the way from France! Thank you!!
@@CaptainChrista - I also bought a boat to save all the $$$ on buying a house. But also to get the hell out of Brexit UK. :)
Oh wow how exciting!!! What kind of boat did you get? :)
Congrats!!! Hunter 310 is a lot of boat for the size and $. I know it because I have one slipped in San Pedro. I am still trying to figure out how to put a dive compressor on it along with the power required. Enjoy your boat. Also, I have the same epropulsion electric motor.
It really is, the lay out Is incredible! that dove compressor would take so much power you’d definitely need a generator and solar I think! I’m
Not an expert though! Electric motors are the best I love how quiet and light they are!
Great video 📸😎
thank you!
Nice job Captain!
Thank you!!
@@CaptainChrista you are most welcome! I am going to watch many more of your videos!
Wow beautiful sunset Yep here watching, this is a year later I’m watching just subscribed. Appreciate you sharing I’ll be watching more 👍👍😎
Thank you!! More coming soon! I appreciate the support 😊
Read it all. Watched it all. Good video. Thanks
Thank you!! 🙌🏼
Cool channel. I just stumbled upon it while scrolling shorts. Hi from Australia.
Thank you! Hello wow Australia how cool!
WOW! I think that is fantastic in what you have done. You're like the real "Sonny Crockett" of Miami Vice only female. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE what you did and want to wish you the best of luck and you have discovered the best of both worlds! Happy Sailing!⛵⚓⛵⚓ The best part...NO LAWN TO CUT!!!
Hahah thank you so much!! I appreciate your support and I’ll have to watch some sonny Crockett clips! 🙌🏼🌊⛵️
@@CaptainChrista St. Vitus Dance was the name of his sailboat. Watched every episode from day one. My wife and I have many, many, many beautiful memories of being in Fort Lauderdale back in the 70’s when we were in our 20’s. Now we’re in our 70’s and married 38 years. Met her when my wife was just 19 and I was 21. Man, where do the years go? I think you would really like the show though. Nothing can compare to the scenes, music and the intense facial expressions that Don Johnson who plays Sonny Crockett. Glad I found your site. Ciao!
Christa looks like a lot of fun.
It is 😊
Hi christa, beautiful sea worthy boat, 700 a month is pretty cheap compared to a house for shure, pups look soooo happy to be there to , safe travels God bless
Thank you!! It’s definitely an awesome lifestyle I am enjoying!
Dana Point Harbor!! Lol
I used to live in Mission Viejo and had our Catalina 27’ right there near your slip!! 🙌🏻
Actually right by that office building in the background.
Got tired of the long track we had to do to get out of the marina so we ended up moving to the other side of the bridge which made it very easy to get out of the marina! 👍🏻
How cool! Do you still have your boat in the harbor? thank you for your support!
@@CaptainChrista hi Christa! I sold her back in ‘97 or so (yeah, long time ago 😅)
She is still there…….or at least she was about a year ago!! I think she’s either on dock B or C on the East Basin side.
Great memories of the marina and sailing to Catalina and Newport often!! 😇
I now have a Hans Christian 33’ in Puerto Rico 👍🏻
I really love your videos, mostly because I did mostly solo sailing also.
Thank you! It’s pretty fun solo sailing!
I solo sail also. Went with a Caliber 40 LRC and carry 212 gal of fuel and 175 gal of water with a water maker. From the pacific NW and go to Alaska summer and and to Sea of Cortez in winter. Retired so speed is not an issue
A good friend from Colombia wants to go with me. Which would fun as she much younger and from a large city.
Great boat
Thank you!
Genoa, not Jib. Cold start, not choke. haha. Ok Ill stop being a smart ass 😂. Boat life is the best! Good on ya for getting into it and make sure you keep getting the house out of the marina! The anchor is home, the dock is for repairs lol.
Hahah you are technically correct! 😊 I completely agree it’s the best life! I love that motto the anchor is home the dock is for repairs🙌🏼
We did the same. Boatlife is the best life ❤❤
Definitely ⛵️⛵️😎
One of the best boat tours I've watched. It caters to a certain demographic.
Thank you! 🙌🏼
I got my boat this month the one in the picture August 3rd 2022 on the police auction for a dollar it's exit good shape shape
That’s amazing! What great deal!
you are awsome, also very nice boat I can see your proud of it and you should be . jeff sonnichsen (sonic sen) wishing you fair winds
I am! Thank you so much for your support!
No shoes nation! ❤🎉
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck
Thank you!
your very welcome
Just stumbled upon your channel. Really cool and interesting! I will follow. Also noticed your (what I guess is a blood-sugar device on your arm?) Diabetic perhaps? I am, So I give you a fist-bump from one happy diabetic in Sweden. Keep up your sailing girl!
Nice boat!
Thankyou!!
@@CaptainChrista Do you have any big trips planned?
Dana Point? Not sure but asking. My Dad sailed out of there for years if that’s where you are. Great video!
Yes Dana point is beautiful! I love it. Thank you for the support 🙌🏼
I love 😍 video
Thank you 🙌🏼
Hi Christa,
I love what you have done with your boat! How do you keep your phone from going dead on longer sails using navionics?
portable chargers and i can plug it into the boat to charge as well!
Yanmar great engine. Our last boat the Yanmar 4jh2dte had done 10,000 hours and still ours like a kitten
Love my engine!
@CaptainChrista just change the oil every 100 to 150 hours and it will run for ever
Good luck on your youtube journey! Do you have any socials set up?
Thank you! Yes all the socials are captainchrista!
Just FYI. Diesels dont have chokes. Probably shutoff to fuel pump! Love your boat and videos, pretty lady!
yes true!
Great tour. What breed is Maui? She looks like my pup, he is a MalShi.
Happy sailing.
maltipoo! thank you :)
We have been full time cruisers for 4 years on an Endeavour 40. Loving your videos. Question… what is the brand or head faucet/shower? We want the high arch.
I got it off Amazon! Tohlar gold kitchen faucet for the galley amzn.to/3XoEdUw
In The head I use this one!
amzn.to/3ACOPW7
I installed them myself super easy!
Lovely boat 🚤 perfect size for 1.
I have a Maltese and she loves to travel with me but I think she might get sick on a monohull maybe a catamaran would be better to start with.
What was the white thing on your back near your arm?
thank you!
Hello Captain Christa , how far have you sailed her and how's her handling in rough weather ? I've considered buying that model and would love a first hand review from the owner and I thoroughly enjoy your channel . Be careful of mice getting aboard also .
She does okay in rough weather she has reefs but doesn’t drain as much as I’d like! I need a dodger for sure. Also I wouldn’t cruise her off shore so definitely not a blue water boat! But she’s great for coastal cruising my area! Eventually I’m going to sell her for a blue water boat!
I am happy to watch this video, appreciate it. I am wondering if you can always handle a boat alone.
Thank you! I guess we will find out!
@@CaptainChrista Thank you! Actually, I've been thinking to learn to sail and purchase a boat. But I am afraid I have to form a team or at least two persons to handle it. So I have not made it. Your video encouraged me to consider that again.
Perhaps I missed it but how much is the slip per month, night or year? Or do you off grid anchor most of the time?
Oh this is a good video idea! I’ll probably make a video about all of this in the future!
A new owner can change the name of a Boat, without receiving bad luck!
Agreed 😎
It's more fun living on the water, I did it for 5years on my 44ft ketch
There’s nothing better 🙌🏼
@@CaptainChrista your video's are an inspiration for all that either live on the water or those that are thinking about it.
Thank you!! That’s honestly my goal is to encourage more people to enjoy the ocean!
I think I saw your boat for sale did you sale it cuz I think it was renamed
You can change the name but you must pay hommage to king neptune.
Gerard.
Yes agreed!
0:47 good cameraman
Agreed
@@CaptainChrista haha...better editing
Sounds like that is 2 cylinder Diesel engine, should be cheap operating.
At least it sounded like that or something is wrong but if it don’t shake it isn’t missing..
Could be I am listening on here. But I had a 2 cylinder diesel tractor sounded almost the same.
It is a yanmar diesel! Definitely inexpensive which is awesome even though fuel costs a lot now a days!
@@CaptainChrista Yammer is a Japanese engine builder that has been around since 1912 they have built 2 cylinder 3 cyl.4 cyl. Industrial Engines it should last you a long time. They build tractor engines and equipment engines also.
You’re an absolutely amazing woman and if you’re ever taking applications for cameraman I’m your man. 😊
Do you get seasick?
@@CaptainChrista lol no I do not. I love for the water. Avid fisherman.
Christa yes I am F Dock Cove 👍
How cool!! What size boat? I’ll be moving soon!
@@CaptainChrista Moving slips or new harbor ? lol I have a 27 Catalina super clean fast sailing ⛵️
Slips with the harbor remodel. I had a Catalina 30 and loved it, great boat!! I sailed it to Catalina a few times!
One of my goals is to plan a day (a month after Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day) and get as many boaters to sail out and get balloons 🎈 from the ocean! I’ll keep you in mind if you’d be interested!
@@CaptainChrista Absolutely will do that just need 48 hr notice I’m out of town working sometimes is all where are you guys currently island side or where ?
She is absolutely great! A bit messy, but hey, she's a girl! And though new to her she knows her boat inside out! Congratulations young lady!
Thank you for your support!⛵️
Living in CA you just want to be at the beach on the water anyway so why not live on a boat! We are wanting to do the same thing. Moved from CA to TN to have a baby and find more affordable homes, but there’s not beach here 😭😭😭
Oh wow! Yeah I love going to the beach it’s my happy place, I’m working towards traveling full time on the boat! Good luck with the baby, what a blessing! 🥰
Where do the dogs use the head?
i have a grass pad for them on the boat! otherwise normal places dogs go!
So why did you switch from a Catalina 30 to a Hunter 31?
The layout is better and the upgrades were significantly better, radar, swim step, 6’4 headroom, queen size bed, spinnaker, ect..
Don't change the name super cool if you do let me know I'll take it
👍🎣⛵🌊💯
🙌🏼🌊⛵️
What make is the fridge 🤔
Ahhh I will do my best to look next time I’m at the boat!
This is not what I meant when I said "Show us your puppies" but okay, nevermind. Not disappointed either way. They're cute.
-Dom
Maui and Kiki!
Pay cash for boat or finance?
A diesel motor does not have a choke.
Agreed!
I have to ask. Is that dvic on your belly for stomach issues oe diabetes?
thank you!
Your boat doesn’t have a choke it’s a fuel shut off chokes are for gas motors . Your boat is sweat by the way
true thank you!
S.S. Christa II
Haha that would be a good name I like it!
Is that $700 dock fee per year or per month?
That’s cheap, it costs us €150 20 €220 per night in a marina here in the Mediterranean. So we hardly ever go into a marina
The Mediterranean is beautiful! I want to sail there one day!
@@CaptainChrista you should definitely
Crazy train, you don't like Ozzy Osbourne?
I am not a fan of the name! The song is fine!
@@CaptainChrista All aboard ha ha ha ha
Thats such a con, I have been drinking out of my water tank for years, on problems. Just give it a clean. If you are living on the boat it will be replaced with clean water regularly. Living on a boat is a great lifestyle.
Completely agree!
Love your vids, but it's not a choke. No such thing on a diesel engine.
agreed!
Yeah I bought my sailboat for the police auction for a dollar
Your smile is contagious... wearing a mask would be obnoxious...
Thank you for watching!
Your welcome to sail with me anytime
Thanks for the support!
@@CaptainChrista welcome as you keep it real . I just sold a big yacht to buy a 35 footer as only me and my dog . Less is more trust me . Especially in these f times . Stay free and hopefully unjabbed
It is cheap living I put my boat on anchor and I don't have no bills this my cell phone bill and car insurance and boat insurance and just my groceries that's it cheap way to live
That’s so awesome! it’s such a great way to live especially in the modern day where everything is so expensive! And vacations are included lol
You didn't have Maui yet
I’ve had Maui for 9 years 😊
@@CaptainChrista cute my daughter has one him smart dog
I just stumbled on your channel as a father of two girls it's so nice to see a young woman so confident and independent like you great videos
A 28 ft sailboat for a $1
Wow what an amazing deal!
One of the reasons for less viewers perhaps is because you might be changing the name of the boat. It's a bad omen.
Thanks for watching!
nice boat , annoying voice .....
I think Captain Krista should hook up with my man Gus from @intoodeep #intoodeep
Christa my friend 😊
