- After 23 days of offshore sailing we are very ready to arrive. But we need to arrive in daylight to anchor safely which means pushing Florence to sail fast on this last leg of our voyage to Seychelles. Our tiredness brings out the emotion of the moment as we close in on land after sailing 3044 miles non-stop across the Indian Ocean.
We have been sailing around the world for over 5 years after setting off from England in 2016 on board our 37ft sail boat Florence. Join us as we share the highs and lows of travelling around the world by boat, Sailing offshore across the Oceans and exploring remote locations with our own little tiny house. Boat life out at sea on the ocean and off the grid.

Sailing Yacht Florence is by far the best SAILING channel on CZcams. Super stoked for the two of you!
You guys are the most underrated sailing Chanel on CZcams. You embody the true sailing experience, keep up the amazing job.
Your excitement was contagious; I am happy for you.
Amy, I love that you have a little bow in your hair; it’s so prissy/girly. I love that you two can laugh at Matt’s efforts in the galley. Laughter is, indeed, the best medicine when bone weary…as is good rest, heh, heh. The ability to laser focus on the good, rather than the bad doesn’t hurt. “LAND HO”!!! How excited you sounded. Amy sounded giddy when she talked with you (even being very tired) after seeing the land. You two are prime examples of how we should behave. We love you for that. Thank you for sharing your lives. Texas
Wow. I can not tell you how pleased I am for you guys. Some impressive stats as well. 16 hours motoring and only 32 litres of diesel is a phenomenal achievement. You should both feel super proud.
I hope you get some well earned rest and a few beers drank.
Stay tuned for more of "Matt and Amy's Extreme Kitchen Workouts while at Sea! Not for beginners." In all seriousness, congratulations on a schieving such an enormous goal. Your dedication to seamanship, Florence and to each other is amazing! So Proud of you both.
Hiya guys. What more can anyone say apart from WELL DONE👍👍👍 Yet another ocean in the log. 3 down with 2 to go.This is what sailing is all about. Dump those engines and rig the sails and fly. You’ve got a real lady with Florence. Taking care of her really pays dividends. She sails well and looks good. Long may she carry both towards your horizons together. Fair winds and following seas my friends.
Can't imagine two people that deserve to be together than you two! Your adventures are what dreams are made of! Much love to you guys! 💘 😻 💜
Thank you for having the patience to properly dispose of the plastics. That meal looked great.
Hi Matt and Amy! Congratulations on your successful crossing of the Indian Ocean. You are a free spirited, adventurous couple, taking risks, going places you haven’t gone and living life on your own terms.👍 We all have one life and one chance to live it. Good to see the two of you exploring the world on your boat and having fun. The memories you are acquiring along the way will be awesome.👍
Brilliant. Thank you for letting us share this adventure with you.
I just love your channel.. It demonstrates very well what real sailing is all about.. Thanks for sharing and I also admire both your positive "can do" approach...
Wow! Congratulations on your crossing, such an amazing feat, not many people can say they have accomplished.
Hope you guys got some much deserved rest and food!
It is amazing how much skill and expertise is required to sail across an ocean. It has been fascinating watching you fix things and solve problems.
It was great to kind of "be with you" trough this passage and at arrival. Hope Seychelles is/was a destiny nice enough to make up to the challenge you both brilliantly overcame. Super cheers!
Watched this after a sleep over on board my Dehler 37 in Carrickfergus Marina, Northern Ireland, with my 10 week old Cockapoo puppy, Bobby.
Felt every bit of Matt’s excitement as he came to terms with your 3,000 mile crossing and 23 days at sea. Feel so privileged to share the detail of your experience and just inspired to want to do this myself one day.
I am consistently impressed by the two of you. The ability to remain "on task" in the face of exhaustion is an ability reserved for those who achieve great things in this life. Congratulations!!!!
Having never done a long passage like that I can only imagine how I would feel at the end of it but the video gives a great impression of how you two felt !
Well done guys, I'm so pleased for you ! 👍
Am I the first to congrat you on the perfect nail paintjob!? Love the effort to keep some civilization on a wilderniss adventure!
fantstic acheivement for both of you and florence well done !!!
Absolutely amazing…I just love your videos and this one represents the extraordinary achievement you have completed, not “just” in sailing across the Indian Ocean but in getting to that point of being able to in the first place. I am in awe. You guys…incredible! So well done!. And all on a 37 ft boat ….albeit a solid and beautiful one. My only complaint is that your videos are not long enough! I need a feature film! Film producers…take note please.
Fantastic effort from both of you! Huge congratulations
Just discovered your channel. Five years of catching up now! You two are just delightful to watch.
Now that's what it's all about ! thanks for reminding me what it's like to be offshore on it Sloop. What a cheery and highly skilled sailing couple.
20:43 that look of accomplishment, pride and relief…. Brilliant! Well done
I've been following your channel for quite some time and your crossing of the Indian Ocean was epic! After 23.5 days at sea you were really elated at making landfall and your video conveys your joy quite clearly. Looking forward to your exploration of the Seychelles and hope you have been getting some well-deserved rest in a calm tropical harbor. So many CZcams sailing channels are mostly exercises in hedonism , focusing partying in tropical paradise. While there is a time for that, you are such accomplished sailors and with your natural curiosity of the places you have visited you have created a masterful story and adventure for us armchair travelers. Kind regards from Wisconsin, USA.
Wow! Great you guys made it safe across the Indian ocean. Must have been a strange feeling to walk the first couple of steps on dry land after 23 days rolling about. Looking forward to your next episode! Now have some fun and relax. ;)
You all are so inspiring! We have lived aboard for the last 5 years, and have done short passages. Watching you sail keeps us hopeful, that we might do more one day! Good work, both of you, and thanks for all that you are sharing with us! Judi and Brent
A taxing crossing and yet you pulled it off with smiles and earned a good sleep.
We all focus on defining moments and 'words of wisdom' that exemplify the markers of lifetime memories, and I took special note of Amy's line about how long passage, two handed sailing is actually as demanding and solitary as two people simply doing single handed. For lesser sailors, one quickly begins feeling that this is not what you signed up for, it is truly grueling. Hats off to the both of you.
That comment stood out to me as well.
I loved sailing with you on your 3000 plus mile journey across the Indian Ocean. I couldn't have been happier for you when Matt called out "land Ho". Stay well ans safe and enjoy your new short term home.
Congratulations to Amy and Matt!. There is no feeling in the world like completing an ocean passage.
No feeling like it after a long passage, the first sight of land. Hot showers a supermarket, restaurant meal to celebrate. Well done guys great passage.
Breakfeast these past few days have just been a delight watching you guys cross the Indian ocean. What an accomplishment and excellent sailing vlog!
Matt and Amy, congratulations on your successful crossing. I can see you're both very proud of it and rightly so. Matt's pasta cooking in rough seas and it's inherent danger of scalds from upset boiling water, which could be horrendous at sea miles from nowhere, reminded me of a similar incident on another sailing Chanel. A USA cooking show host saw it and prepared a video for them. A safe way to cook pasta, no boiling water. They took a large piece of tin foil folded it 2/3 times and made a pouch by rolling over and folding down tightly 2 sides. They then put in the ingredients along with the dry pasta and then the water. They folded the last side tightly and put the pouches in a tray in the oven at 360 for about half an hour. The results looked great. relatively easy and very safe. You never know, you just might fancy pasta in a gale one day and will have no worries with cooking.
Synopsis: Amy the fisherwoman and Matt the chef have fun at sea. And there is also a lot of great sailing. A+ viewing.
WOW! What a magnificent achievement! You guys are truly inspirational. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to share in your experience. Can't wait to cast the lines and sail to new horizons. 😁👍
That comedy sketch (well, it WAS to us!) in the galley was priceless. Thank you for the "real time sailing experience".
Bravo Zulu guys. As a fellow mariner, great to watch this journey. The feeling of sighting land after weeks at sea is one of best - no matter what vessel you are on or how many times you’ve done it. Hope you enjoyed the long awaited sleep.
Land Ho!!! He leads me to calm waters.
Congratulations, you guys are an awesome sailing partnership. Great seamanship and upbeat vibes. Really a model we can all try and aspire to . Enjoy the Seychelles, they are fab! Have a well earned rest :0) thankyou for sharing
Your editing skills are next to none! I enjoyed every episode. Excited for you seeing a new country at last. You hung in there through COVID-19 better than most.
Congratulations you two! A feat that is a test of two against the sea! You have won this one. Well done!
Wow! Great accomplishment indeed! I loved watching the racers in you groove out to the big blue and then return again for the final push. That was one beautifully set triple reefed main! You are fortunate to have each other for such an adventure. Thank you for sharing it! Looking forward to more! Until then, fair winds and following seas!
I've been watching you two for a while now and Florence seems to be so easy to sail compared to other's I've watched,, Stay safe ,,
They are both very competent sailors and dinghy racers, and know their boat well. It's a good boat and they make it look easy.
Awesome effort guys, sailing two handed is tough especially for 23 days, just missed you in NZ and then again in Fiji, we’ve sold Manihiki and I do miss it, surprisingly I miss the night watches with good weather of course, it just seems so peaceful and the moon skipping across the ocean, just magic. Have decided I’m definitely going to crew some voyages with the sailors we met whilst in the islands, once again I take my hat off to you, fantastic effort and congratulations to both of you. ⛵️🏆
If I didn't know otherwise I'd say Matt was seriously inebriated and the camera was co-ordinated.
A huge achievement, 23 days at sea and 3,000 miles. I hope you both write you own thoughts about it now, great to treasure. Such achievements, memories and experiences are precious, video can only capture so much, even at an angle.
A fantastic achievement. Your attention to detail and pre-trip planning shows how a well prepared crossing can achieve your goals without tearing everything apart. I also like the completely candid, and without exaggeration, description of life aboard while crossing.
It's a massive achievement, you guys are massive! GPS makes navigation easier, but you know the will it takes to sail a small boat such a long way. You, rightly, will remember this for the rest of your life. Congratulations and many best wishes.
Thank you Matt and Amy for sharing your adventures with us. This channel is absolutely by far the superior sailing channel enjoyed by so many. You take us on such a wonderful adventure every episode. I cannot wait for the next video. Again thank you. You are such a lovely couple. Cheers from Australia
Well done Matt and Amy. Keep up the real life entertainment. Producing these videos and sailing must be a real mission, well done.
Fantastic planning and executing! and maybe a little luck as well. After several years ya'll are still our favorite. Thank you so much. Dee and Deb Chesapeake Bay Virginia
Awesome passage , enjoy your well deserved fish (Bonito? Some other small Tuna?) and recovery sleep.
A skip jack tuna we think, we had just enough energy to eat it before we fell asleep!
Jealous jealous jealous! I’m glad you 2 are safe and well. Sailing and the Seychelles are 2
Items that would make a wonderful life even more so. At this time I’ll live and enjoy through your eyes. Thank you for sharing! Cheers!
Congrats on a safe passage,you guys are awesome,not to mention so brave,thanks for sharing your adventures 😃 great job on filming,when everything is bouncing around,,wow!!!I'm laying in bed,and can feel the excitement,so cool!
Your smiles at the end gave me joy! Great video and the two of you tell a great story!
I was grinning from ear to ear. Well done.
Your families must be stoked.
Many congratulations. Loved the sailing footage. Since you know what, there hasn't been a great deal of it. Sailing Uma showed some and now you showed loads. All the other footage is great but the sailing is what I like.
Thank you for documenting your experiences and being honest in your day to day endeavors. The trueness of the challenges you face seem to come across well from my perspective. It is appreciated.
Congratulations for this great milestone! You both did so well... best long-time sailing channel on YT, keep up the great work!
Tremendous achievement and fantastic Sailing. A lovely video .
Fantastic stuff.
Congrats.
Locked down here in NZ , finally allowed to sail but not anchor overnight so feels like a prison sentence.
Watch this at my marina , beer in hand .
You are helping me maintain my sanity.
Cheers.
You two are very special people it is a pleasure to watch you at the task of sailing your Florence.
Well done Florence
Congratulations for the lovely filming along the way
You are an inspiration for all of us forced into various lockdowns and crazy mandates!
Cheers
Congratulations on a well executed crossing, beautifully filmed. A timely reminder of the fact that great oceans can be crossed in relatively simple robust boats👍
This is such an accomplishment... thank you for sharing it with us!!! Great job, really great teamwork and as always a really great video! 😀😊😀
Congrats and thank you I was able to “come along” on this adventure! I hope you keep on sailing and explore more islands and countries you haven’t visited yet!
I had the luck to work in Seychelles for over 4 years, and met my wife there, so it has a special place in my heart. I must admit a hint of a tear in my eyes as I saw Mahe coming over the horizon. Hope you are having a great time: it has great beaches but also fantastic hiking trails over the mountains. Not to mention the islands of Praslin and La Digue amongst the many others to explore. Hope you enjoy that very special part of the world!
What a feat Matt and Amy! i'm so happy that you have reached Seychelles after Indian ocean crossing. All the best to you 👍
Congratulations what an accomplishment!! Thank you for bringing us along. It was a absolute pleasure watching the both of you working together. I learnt the most about blue water sailing and crossing oceans after watching these episodes. Beautiful narrated and compiled to create something magical. 👍
You rock. Such an epic video and so good to see you safely in the Seychelles! Can't wait for the next series of episodes as you explore ultimate paradise!
I was just thinking about you two. I checked AIS and saw that you are making good progress. Well done on the crossing. Thanks for sharing!
How can you find them on AIS? Couldnt see them listed.
found them
Congratulations. An amazing achievement. You are a great team.
This was such a joy to watch, thank you so much for sharing this experience! I am so happy for you guys and this has really made my day, congratulations 👏
Well done Matt ! Well done Amy ! Loved following this epic journey. Thank you for sharing all this with us.
Glad to see that you have arrived safely. I so enjoy your adventures, you cheer me up in these covid times. Thank you for all of your grand videos. Talush in Atlantic Canada
Huge congrats! Even if you arrived weeks ago in real time, I'm sure you're both still very proud of that passage.
Disposing of waste wrappers: I believe it was the Free Range Sailing channel that shared the idea of using large plastic bottles, after the contents are gone, and rolling the wrappers into a long thin spill and poking them into the empty bottle. They hold a surprisingly large amount of waste.
It's been a marathon,but you've arrived safe and sound like a pair of legends 👍🙂
Congratulations on this passage! And thank you for taking us along as we have to crane our boats out of the water. Bon Voyage!
Absolutely brilliant you two! Well done, not only fantastic professional seamanship but to be able to produce really well made films as well, you must be very tired.
Have really enjoined all your voyages and now looking forward to the next chapter!
Enjoy the rum👍
What an amazing accomplishment, hats off to you both, a very proud moment. Thanks for sharing with us along the way! 🎉🥳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You two are great. Congratulations! An amazing accomplishment. Looking forward to more wonderful videos.
Congratulation on your arrival in the Seychelles after 23.5 day passage across the Indian Ocean. Great job.
Hi! We are So much happy that you " ve got the shore without any damage. You've managed it! Congratulations!
😭😭😭
Florence is a bad ass and so are the two of you! Nicely done! Cheers!
Excellent sailing! Well done to you both. Glad you’re there. I’ve binge watched all your journey over the time. Looking forward to new adventures. Thank you for what you do.
You sailed the Indian Ocean! What an achievement, congratulations!
You guys are rock stars, what an awesome achievement, a very emotional video to watch, brilliant filming in challenging conditions and superb editing and story telling. Looking forward to seeing your down time adventures in the Seychelles
Congratulations Matt and Amy! So glad to see your smiles and relief at the end of the crossing!
I'm from the Seychelles n currently living in Scotland. It is 3 degrees outside with snow on the ground.
Watching you arriving n dropping anchor in Mahe Harbour brought a tear to my eye... I miss home.
Good to see you Amy and Matt ! You have made it ! I have watched this episode 3 times already. Just brilliant ! Beautifully shot with the sound of the waves and it made me feel like I am on the boat. The best part of all your videos is your voice over. With out a doubt it's probably one of the best sailing videos on CZcams.....if not the best 😀
Best channel on CZcams. Glad you're safe and well.
So happy you arrived safely! Thanks for showing how rolly it is while trying to cook supper. Matt did a great job, I thought! Can’t wait to see your upcoming adventures.
Well done you guys, what a joy eh to reach land. Have a great time. Prayed for your safety, good to see you have arrived😎
That looks like a lot of work, and yet even MORE fun.
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, I have thoroughly enjoyed living aboard vicariously with you, and I am looking forward to joining you on your next passage as well.
Wishing you smooth seas and full sails!
A tiresome couple of sailors have just arrived to the capital of the Seychelles, onboard of an ocean worthy yacht Florence.
It was the passage of over 3,000 miles lasting 23.5 days across the Indian Ocean; from the island of the Indonesian Archipelago to the Seychelles.
Congratulations Matt and Amy! To be honest, I hoped to see you walking in the Victoria capital along the streets of the city. 14 days to wait for the next episode is too long to wait for news. Well, nothing can be done about it.
Oh my goodness!!!! What a journey! I felt like I was travelling with you. Needless to say I was looking forward to this moment as you reach the Seychelles, just like you guys. Wow! Well done! You are a true inspiration!!!
Congratulations you guys!! 23.5 days and still smiling.
Such an amazing adventure guys! I have so enjoyed following your trip. Stay safe and enjoy the Seychelles!
