- I have really enjoyed my single-handed Atlantic crossing. Of course, I am showing how it has gone and in addition how I have used the Garmin inReach Mini, how the power supply with the solar panels has been working and I have many other tips.
Enjoy the video!

This is just the sort of video I like watching on CZcams. Not formulaic and episode content. Just a story about crossing an ocean single handed. Bravo and thanks.
Thank you very much 😀⛵️⛵️
At 64 and with a disabled wife there’s not a cat in hells chance am I ever going to sail a boat . Listening to your vlog allows me to sail with you ? Great photography, great narrative, easy to listen to and pleased to have met you . Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot! You are always invited to join me on my cruises via the videos. Best regards😀⛵️⛵️
There is the SailAway simulation on Steam or on their web store with a large monitor and good set of current headphones like a hyperX you could well chill in that game there is a demo available on sailaway.world/
For me being landlocked its the closet I can get also reading and watching wonderful videos like this.
67, both of us disabled, but as a lifetime biker/camper, I get the purity of it watching these. Pulling a 4' trailer behind the highly modified Harley, we "sail" the highways, moor in the campgrounds or just stream or lakeside spots we can find, and set up our "galley", gear tent,main tent with extra tarps for extended vestibule (the porch"), and of course, the head is never too far off. Many camp people are really good sorts to meet, otherwise, I enjoy solitude.
I agree... 78yo here and now an invalid. my sailing days are well behind me, unfortunately. but really enjoy his narrative. He's obviously German but speaks perfect English.
Very nice
What a great smile you have Martin, I live a life currently that doesn’t give me a smile like that. You are making me rethink my priorities.
Thank you! Yes, why not 😀⛵⛵
You got this Paul. The quicker you plan and execute the happier you’ll be. Whatever it may be.
I have to compliment Martin on these unique, voyage-long, videos. They provide a kind of continuity lacking in episodic videos so common on CZcams. He give us a real feeling for the rhythm, beauty, the daily regimen and even the occasional drudgery of a long passage like this. Very well done! Cheers Martin!
Thank you, John. Yes, I did not want to split it into different episodes. I felt it would partially have destroyed it and would not be the same. Best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
The world is more beautiful with people like you.. What a great guy..
Thank you very much for the nice feedback 😀⛵⛵
You come across as a decent guy, living the dream. great to see and really enjoyable
Thanks a lot 😀⛵️⛵️
Is it only me, but what a lovely calm guy. Great achievement, enjoy
Thank you 😀⛵️⛵️
I am 86 years and sitting in our basement with my coffee ☕ at 5 am enjoying your trip across the Atlantic two yrs past.
That’s great! Have a nice day 😀⛵️⛵️
Everything about the video production seems so 80's. This is a solid plus. 👌
Thank you 😀⛵⛵
I think you did a fantastic job not only sailing the Atlantic single handed but also creating a video for those who don’t get to do this journey onboard a sailing yacht. Thank you
Thank you very much and best regards 😀⛵⛵
Most positive person i have ever seen in my life. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much 😀⛵️⛵️
You have such an easy and nice smile that someone can think that sailing across Atlantic is a piece of cake :-) but this smile and ease gave me a big pleasure watching this video. Thx
Thank you 😀⛵⛵
At last someone crossing an ocean in a sailboat without "disaster" striking EVERY singel day with oil-leaks, engine-failure, water pouring in below and electrical problems.
Your video is a proof that you don´t have to be a mechanical engineer, carpenter and an electrician to sail. Keep ut the good work.
Thanks a lot for the kind feedback! Best regards and fair winds 😀⛵⛵
Everytime I see someone single hand this kind of passage I'm in awe of their giant brass balls! Well done there, epic stuff 👌🏻⛵️
Thank you very much 😀⛵️⛵️
Everyone knows gingers can't do anything on their own lololol
And in a bavaria
At 85 I am grateful for the adventures through you. Greetings from Indianapolis Indiana USA
Thank you very much and kind regards to Indiana 😀⛵⛵
A wonderful, superb quality video. No drama or crazy antics - just a relaxing cruise full of good photography, excellent information and great company. Love it.
Thank you very much, Tracy, and best regards 😀⛵⛵
Really nice and authentic sailing video! No bollocks or rouse acting. Just a simple story which I easily can relate to without any shift in my perception.
Many thanks and kind regards 😀⛵️⛵️
Hey Martin! Congratulations on living your dream and for being kind enough to have it covered for all of us. Wishing you happy sailing all the way! Best regards from Athens Hellas!!
Thank you very much, Fotis, and kind regards to Athens 😀⛵⛵
Just watched it again Martin. Third time! It gives the whole story from Lanzarote to Quadeloupe! Never tire of it.
Thank you very much and kind regards 😀⛵⛵
Very nice, not only the passage but the narrative, I did enjoy it. Thanks so much, and congrats
Thank you very much 😀⛵️⛵️
SO MANY WHALES ! And so close to the boat too ! This must have been such a magical moment.
Yes, that was so fantastic. I nicely remember that. 😀⛵⛵
Inspirational video for me. Absolutely loved it. I retire from the Scottish fire service in a few months and want to learn to sail, then buy a boat. This confirms to me that it’s a good decision. Take care man. Look forward to watching your travels in the future.
Absolutely! Sailing is a great passion giving much more than most people think. Thanks a lot and best regards 😀⛵⛵
My dream too. Martin’s voyage is a pleasant one. I remember a Honolulu to Neah Bay, Washington passage with serious storms, but it was very exciting as well.
OMG I just found this and the 80's sitcom vibe is amazing!!!!
Thank you very much and best regards 😀⛵⛵
Thanks for sharing. Educational, enjoyable, and beautiful.
And you even make fresh bread to eat with your morning coffee while you're alone in the middle of the ocean.
That, more than anything, is a sign of real class.
Thank you very much for the kind feedback. Yes, I love having my morning coffee and looking at the wide sea. Those are always my best moments. Best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
Great attitude Martin, your light is shining.
Glory to GOD!!!
Thank you 😀⛵⛵
perfect video, he stay with within the context of exactly what he wanted to achieve, no frills just pure sailing, excellent and whish you all the best!!!!
Thank you very much and best regards 😀⛵⛵
It sure was great to sail with you Martin. Totally organic, 100% real and mellow. I cherished every minute of the crossing. Congratulations and huba huba!!!
Man thanks and best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
you are a brave man to do this trip single handed and you have a very nice vibe, hope i do something like this, greetings from Brazil!
Thank you very much and all the best 😀⛵⛵
That looked like a textbook Trade Wind crossing --- expertly sailed. I guess you did not get the memo that Bavarias are not suitable for ocean passages. I liked your 'feedback loop' with bungee cords. I tried several variations on that theme --- good enough to get home, but far from perfect. Bravo.
Thank you, Patrick. I must have overlooked that memo as usually! Yes, the bungee steering is a good emergency autopilot in a break down situation. This was the downwind solution. Upwind I just set the helm in a fixed position and it is balanced by the list and the tendency of the shipp running into the wind. Thanks a lot and best regards 😀⛵⛵
That was brilliant.
Amazing and inspirational video! Thanks Martin. That's a Bavaria 34 Holiday, right? Obviously Martin's an expert skipper but I hadn't heard that Bavaria's aren't suitable for long passages. Do I need to change my plans/dreams? :D
@Peter Rahill In French, we say something like, "Bonne nav" as the equivalent of Fair Winds. ('Fair winds' in French is mildly rude, as it is used in common speech to mean 'get lost' or 'good riddance'.)
Hey Martin , you are a really relaxed cool skipper ! Well done
Thank you very much and Merry Christmas 🎄😀⛵⛵
I just purchased a Catalina 36 and you've provided so much inspiration to me. I now know what is very achievable with the right equipment and know-how. Thank you, Martin!
Thank you very much! My pleasure. Best regards 😀⛵⛵
Your smile is contagious! A real german, beer gone in 3 sips! Lol
Wow, this is not easy, congratulations from a fellow mostly solo sailor, great achievement ! I love your calm and understated way of dealing with things.
Thank you very much and best regards 😀⛵⛵
Thanks for sharing your adventure - I really enjoyed the video! Congratulations and happy sailing.
Thank you very much 😀⛵⛵
Congratulations on the crossing, you are living the dream my friend. I get to live the dream virtually by watching your videos. Thank you !
Thank you 😀⛵⛵
Respect for your courage and commitment from Peter from Toronto, Canada
Thanks a lot 😀⛵️⛵️
Thank you for this video Martin which I much enjoyed. About 30 years ago my wife and I crossed the Atlantic from the Canaries to Antigua in our 50 foot teak ketch Mutineer. So your video brought back many memories. We had made friends with a German sailor whose name I sadly forget and he also crossed the Atlantic solo in his steel yacht at about the same time. In the middle of one night while is was sleeping, he sailed into the side of a large ship. He and his yacht were fine and the ship he ran into didn't stop or even notice what had happened. You were very wise to keep the careful watches that you did! Anyway Martin, I'm now subscribed to your channel so look forward to your further adventures and I wish you good fortune in all your travels...
Thank you very much, Robert, nice Story as well! Best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
I've watched about ten ocean crossings, on small sailboats, with one sailor, and this was the best. It was very informative, and finally, someone explained the sleeping situation, which I think is most important. I've seen Martins' sail, from Martinique to Germany, which was also good, tho left me with questions, that this video answered. Thanks
Thank you very much for the great feedback and kind regards 😀⛵⛵
What a joy your video is! I’ve sailed much larger yachts (53’-76’’) most of my life and lost much of the joy when considering the maintenance, costs and hassle. You’ve got me thinking about the possible joys of a smaller vessel. I needed this video. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much. A few years ago, I have made my decision to keep my Jambo and not going for a larger boat. The reasons are as you listed them, costs, hassle and also it can be handled easier even with higher age. At the end of the day, I miss a meter boat’s length. However, I think with every size you miss that meter. Jambo is small but sufficient for a couple. If we get visitors I would look to rent some storage space to place a few things there, whilst the visitors cruise with us. Kind regards 😀⛵⛵
I think 34’ would be somewhat of a challenge - and Biggerboatitis will always be a problem. That said, after a lifetime of tech development and sailing much larger yachts, there is a great deal of praise to be had for simpler and less complicated - in both life and boats. Many of the sailors I know with larger yacht experience eventually end up sailing much smaller boats and rave about the unfettered experience of being closer to the water. You are smiling in so many of your videos. That speaks volumes. Fair winds.
I can only dream of your lifestyle, and owning one of those dreamy Bavaria boats. One day, one day, I hope, though...
Your personality exude such a strong sense of kind, quiet peace and surety of self. Please never stop making these wonderful videos.
Will do, thanks 😀⛵⛵
Truly you are a storyteller. Fairwind........
Thank you 😀⛵⛵
Great video style, showing the charm of a long distance sail in a pure form. Thanks Martin!
Thanks a lot 😀⛵⛵
Enjoy the relaxing yet informative way you make these videos. Well done on your journey and thanks for all the hard work you put in to let us come along.
Many thanks 😀⛵⛵
You are an inspiration to many who have the same dream. Congratulations to you.
Thank you very much and best regards 😀⛵⛵
You are a courageous man to do this trip single handed. 👍👋
Thank you 😀⛵⛵
Beautiful video, commentary, and overall work. Thank you for sharing
Thank you 😀⛵⛵
The music in your video sounds like a Jan Hammer soundtrack...LOVE IT! Great vid!
Thank you very much and best regards 😀⛵⛵
For me just very relaxing to watch. I never grew up anywhere near sailing but this has given me an escape that I needed.
Thank you 😀⛵⛵
Love it. Great episode. Informative and nice. Enjoy the warm. Regards from Norway
Thank you and best regards to Norway 😀⛵⛵
Congratulations Martin....a beautiful story beautifully told. I hope to do the same next year (2021) in my 43 year old Swan 47...Walidada
Thank you very much and best regards 😀⛵⛵
Fun adventure, enjoyed the drone shots. Thanks.
Thank you 😀⛵️⛵️
That bread baking machine is genius! I have one at home, but on a sailing ship it makes much more sense 👍😀
Yes, I really like it and think, it is the best solution taking power consumption into account. Thank you 😀⛵⛵
that's such a gorgeous boat! thanks for all the great content!
Thank you very much 😀⛵⛵
Really enjoyed watching. Great to see what it is really like, thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much and best regards 😀⛵⛵
Beautiful drone video of the whales without any sound of the drone. Amazing!
Thank you very much 😀⛵️⛵️
Moin Martin. Ich liege mit nem gebrochenen Schlüsselbein nach nem schweren Fahrradunfall zuhause im Bett. Habe mit Segeln so rein gar nichts am Hut. Mein Nachbar hat n Boot, das hab ich mal mit ihm zusammen in die Bootshalle nebenan geschoben. 😀 Das wars. Mittlerweile habe ich deine Videos fast alle gesehen. Wenn ich in 20 Jahren vielleicht auch mal alleine den Atlantik überquere, werd ich dabei 100pro an dich denken müssen.
Was für ein guter, sympathischer Typ. Bleib so wie du bist, Martin. 🙂
Grüsse aus Hannover
Arne
Herzlichen Dank, Arne, und gute Besserung! 😀⛵⛵
Love your relaxed and honest videos, you’re living my dream 😀
Thank you very much 😀⛵⛵
Don't dream... Go for it!
A most enjoyable watch, thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you and best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
You've got a lot of bottle mate. Very interesting video. Well done and God speed.
Thank you and kind regards 😀⛵⛵
This was so amazing, I can't believe I watched every minute of this and wanted more.... Thank you!!!
Thank you 😀⛵⛵
Great to join you on your solo sailing, you are living a dream I could never reach. Best Wishes to you and safe sailing ⛵️
Thank you and best regards 😀⛵⛵
Course you can there's always a way 👌
Well done Martin, you are a real inspiration. Enjoyed your video immensely from my couch crossing the Atlantic. You made it to the list of solo sailors, and that’s what matters as a sailor among adventurers. Good luck with your future adventures and fair winds.
Thank you for the nice feedback. Best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
Love your video. Very inspiring, the sound track is beautiful. Please be safe.
Thank you and kind regards 😀⛵⛵
Congratulations on your crossing. Loved your video. The videoing, drone footage, and editing made for a cool and fun to watch clip. Glad you made it safely.
Thanks a lot 😀⛵⛵
So Awesome!! Glad you shared this video with us - always good to see sailors and boats on the ocean and every passage is different!!
Thanks a lot! Yes, the sea is never the same and every crossing is different. Thank you and best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
Wow, fantastic video Martin. Thank you so much. You are living my dream and watching you cross a whole ocean on your own was awesome.
I love your style, so natural and your sense of humour shines through (and I say that as an Englishman .... who says Germans have no sense of humour!!!! :D). On that note your English is amazing, I especially laughed when you used the word "knackered". Now that is a proper English word!
Lastly, I could see how good that beer tasted at the end!
Thank you so much, keep doing these videos and keep living the dream. Stay safe and good winds.
Thank you very much for the nice feedback, Steve, and kind regards 😀⛵⛵
꿈같은 요트 세일링 영상이네요.1인 항해로 대서양을 횡단 하다니 대단합니다.
항해중 자세한 설명도 좋았고요. 영상보는 내내 같이 항해하는 것 같이 즐거웠습니다~
Klasse Film! Einhand und dabei so tolle Drohnenaufnahmen! Respekt!
Herzlichen Dank 😀⛵⛵
Excellent. Big fan of your approach to the saling adventure
Thanks a lot and best regards 😀⛵⛵
Go ahead captain.all the best from portsaid Egypt 👌
Thank you and best regards to Egypt 😀⛵⛵
Thanks Martin for this great relation from Your crossing.
Your easy way to present Your daily life onboard is amazing.
Puted this on my favorits and will look on it again to enjoy moments of Your sailing
Great idee to have a drone with You
Thank you very much and kind regards 😀⛵⛵
Respect to you sir, very cool indeed and a well deserved beer at the end Cheers!
Thank you very much 😀⛵⛵
Great to see the daily life on board a sailing vessel. I hope to realize it one day, still have to gather up courage...
Thank you and best regards 😀⛵⛵
Just found you, this is the first video of yours that I watched, absolutely fantastic Martin! An incredible feat to sail that far solo and to keep such a great attitude throughout the trip (at least the parts you filmed 😁). Congratulations on documenting your voyage for all of us to enjoy, Prost! 🍻👍🏻👍🏻😊
Thank you 😀⛵⛵
Just stumbled across this video and your channel. I have to say I found it refreshingly authentic. Nice job I enjoyed watching and time permitting will explore more of your content. Your journey and ever-present smile are inspiring. Wish you all the best.
Thank you very much and best regards 😀⛵⛵
Love yor videos and the way you present everything. Keep ut the good work.
Thanks a lot 😀⛵⛵
Very good job of sharing so many aspects of real-life at sea. So many other videos don't capture the nuance of all those details! Especially the honesty! Really enjoy your videos!
Thank you very much! Best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
Absolutely amazing. atlantic crossing you make it look so easy but it's not. Great video have fun/ scot
Thank you very much 😀⛵⛵
All my congratulations to you Martin, you've showed us what kind of great sailor you are. I Hope one day to cross the ocean as you did from Spain. You gave me enough strength to start the same trip, at the beginning in my mind and, hopefully one day, sooner than later, with a sailboat. We'll see in the sea!!
Thank you very much! Great plan! Best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
Tremendous sunsets!
I love them 😀⛵⛵
I’m so inspired by your content. I’ve always wanted to learn to sail. Time to take some lessons!
Great plan 😀⛵⛵
Hi Martin, simply amazing! Thank you for sharing this lifetime experience!
Thank you and best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
Bravo! Just subscribed! You are a very courageous man sailing across the Atlantic single handed. So many hazards but you managed it well. I love your coffee maker and bread machine and cooking! Wonderful visit from the whales and the drone shots are awesome. Nevermind you caught no fish, you can't do it all but you did everything else like a hero. Pity no births available but just drop the anchor, that's the joy of sailing, your home is anywhere you need it to be! I enjoyed watching you drinking your beer. You drank it like the most expensive and well earned beer in the world!! Bon voyage and may you have many more successful trips. God bless and take care. 🍺😊👍
Thank you very much and always fair winds 😀⛵⛵
What a very nice cruise to see enjoy your stay and have nice trip as well.
Thank you and best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
You have a very easy going voice and style. Makes watching as relaxing as sailing on a nice day.
Thank you and best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
Thank you for this gift to sailing. Entertaining and informative.
Thank you very much! The English version is coming in a few weeks as well. Best regards 😀⛵⛵
Thanks for sharing your passage. Really enjoyed the genuine video. Felt like being on board. Congratulations on your journey.
Thank you very much and best regards 😀⛵⛵
Really great job 👏
Thank you 😀⛵⛵
I knew German's liked beer! But 3000 miles for a cold one LOL..good job sir!
Thank you 😀⛵️⛵️
Amazing video! It was the last straw for me to make up my decision to enroll in a Yachting course!
Thank you. Very good decison! The English version of the video is going to become available in a few weeks. Best regards 😀⛵⛵
You inspire me to make a long passage. You were very well prepared. Thank you for sharing your trip.
Thanks a lot! I am working on the English version. 😀⛵⛵
You’re never too old , only when you think you are. Cheers lads keep sailing
True words 😀⛵️⛵️
Congratulations! Excellent video quality too - job well done !
Thank you very much!
Attitude is everything and my friend you have a great attitude!
Thanks a lot for the great feedback. Best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
I enjoyed the adventure trip with you Martin with some of the problems you come across doing it, thanks so much for sharing this.
Thank you very much 😀⛵⛵
Excellent production Martin. You are an interesting and engaging personality who tells a great story. The pictures/film from the drone bring a great sense of the ocean...the whales were amazing! Thank you. Hope to do this myself soon.
I wish for you that you do it as well. It is a great adventure. Thank you 😀⛵⛵
Thank you for recording your crossing, something I would love to do :-)
My pleasure and best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
Congratulations!!! What an accomplishment.
As for getting weary on long passages and not thinking clearly: One time I was eight days out, also in the Atlantic, with my nine year old son and I looked at my digital watch and saw “MO 28. Confused, I asked my son, “Dillen, what month begins with MO?” He looked at me as if I were crazy. He said, “Dad, that means Monday.”
Thank you 😀⛵️⛵️
Completely loved your video this is my dream 1 day I will do this ...your calmness is fantastic to watch just tottally in touch with your soul ...Great personality namaste brother🙏🌏🤟
Thank you very much and best regards 😀⛵️⛵️
Your a great capt!!! I'm thinking of switching my 38 pursuit for a sail and living the rest of my time with my wonderful wife and seeing the world. Keep the show rolling, so much inspiration. Your awesome Martin!! PEACE!!!!!!
Thank you very much 😀⛵⛵
