Not everyone could pull this off like you two. You are young, attractive, personable, energetic, and you keep your viewers with much respect. I sure there are many times when you just don’t feel like filming, narrating, splicing, uploading, etc. However, I for one, thanks you!
I started watching your vids back in the Trawler days and an impressed with how much you have both grown. I followed a similar path as I started out with an old 30 foot sea ray then moved on to a 40 year old Hatteras 37C then on to a 1972 Hatteras 45C. Each was bought for around $25K and needed upgrades. You hit on it. Budget and prioritize repairs and upgrades.
You guys are lucky you are young and doing it right. You can do much of the work yourselves. Saves a ton. I'm now retired and spending most of my time on my 45 in Ensenada Mexico. Labor is so reasonable I don't have to do it myself.
Love the channel, wish you well and stay safe.
Mike
I think you young people are doing everything right. Your responsible your learning more every year. Oh yes the big one you have a strong work ethic.
Great video guys! I see a lot of full time CZcams sailors do "how much does it cost" videos, but almost none do any "how we earn our money" vids. This is the real barrier to most people who want to live this lifestyle and could be even more helpful to viewers looking to live their sailing dreams. Most people can probably figure out how to adjust a budget to their needs, but most probably can't figure out how to consistently make money while sailing full time. Thanks again!
Hey guys. Don't pay attention to the negative people. You guys are living the dream. There will always be the jealous people out there wanting to make themselves feel better by talking bad about others. I am hoping to transition over to doing something similar to you guys in a couple years. Only difference is I will be about 30 years older with no experience (I watch to learn from you). Keep up the good work and keep living your dream.
Dean Kilroy same here 👍🏼
A boat isn’t a financial investment, it’s a depreciating financial asset. You’re doing everything right by maintaining her well and improving her continually. Nevertheless, she’s a liability, not an asset. Don’t fool yourselves and you’ll be good to go. Nicely done.
So Basically $3,600/mo just for Insurance, loan payment and repairs. Not even including gas or anything else! Props for figuring out how to make the money to pay for all of this via alternative income! 🙌 Thank you for posting this! Shy of being a Millionaire or being a successful CZcamsr, this seems impossible for regular people.
for your wash, while you're cruising, you can put your laundry, a few pieces at a time, in a nylon mesh bag and tow it behind you, and the oxygen in the water will naturally clean it, then you can hang it from your rigging in a stiff breeze, and it will shake all the salt out of it while it dries.
Thank you, for continuing to be the REAL cruisers that comes across in all your videos. Your honesty helps all us, soon to be cruisers realistically prepare for departure. Your positive upbeat attitudes, diy, podcasts and videos are all growing your business and skill set. Very inspiring...🤗
Really nice to see a couple sharing instead of bragging
You guys will never starve... and proud of your lifestyle and success
Thanks for the financial breakdown and your honesty. I love the fact that all of your videos are not boat repair videos like a lot of channels are, ya’ll have action and adventure which makes for interesting content.
You two are genuine examples of the “can do” spirit. Thanks for all you show us.
I just don't get how anyone could have anything negative to say about this video. I appreciate your honesty and willingness to share your personal story. If I was your age, I would love to be doing what the two of you are doing. You will never forget this time of your life. Enjoy it and keep up the good work!
You can get an orange onion bag and drag it behind your boat in the wake where’s there’s bubbling water and no soap that will clean your clothes and after 20-30 minutes pull it back in and just pour some fabric softener on them and dunk them in fresh water and your clothes will feel and smell like they have been machine washed. I know this works because I used to do this when I was long line tuna fishing and was in my teens and had just started working so had no money to machine wash them. Hopefully this can save you even more money.
Greetings , and congratulations on your new boat!. Regarding your inboard diesels, I have crewed for 10 years on a 43 ' Gary Lidgard performance cruiser cat, mostly in Pacific Mexico. Owner built, the engine compartments are isolated by watertight bulkheads with all mechanical penetrations welll above the waterline near the top of compartments. The builder initially installed a pair of used 3-CYL Yanmars with saildrives. After a few years, trouble with one shift linkage required a rebuild. This is where his planning paid off. I assisted in hoisting the motor off its bed, unbolting the big sail drive gasket, and pulling the sail drive up on deck through the compartment. The skipper did dive to remove the prop. But the whole job was done with the Boat in the water. Of course, the Compartment was flooded, but the motor stayed dry up against the ceiling . There was a little fish swimming around inside for a while.
Sailing is better than sanding.

Thanks for sharing this information. It is really a huge benefit to us "cruising dreamers" trying to figure out how to live this life. I think y'all are pretty frugal. It would be easy to spend twice as much.
Thank you for talking about what no one wants to, but what every live-aboard wannabe needs to know!
I only watch 2 sailboat channels and 1 is taking a break right now. Billy i started watching you because you always try and do the work on your boats. You guys are fun to watch and really appreciate your viewers. Keep up the good work and Billy put a ring on it young man.
I'm thinking a repower only because one of your motors has gone bad this year. I hope the wind is always to your back and smooth sailing ahead.
Going electric?
Great video guys! You’ve encouraged us to also share more about costs as it’s always so enlightening. Also we have to admit we were relieved to hear we’re not the only ones who get the occasional comment about being a “trust fund kid!” This is hard work!
FYI...if you ever come to Seattle we’d love to take you out on Freedom for some whale watching or crabbing 👍
Sad that jealous people have to call people names. Hope you didn't let that get you down! Keep up the great work!
I am proud of you kids don't mind the mean people 😕
Great video! I truly love to watch your adventures and am so grateful for the free content. You're always going to have a few jokers who are bizarrely angry that you make money on youtube and assume you're rolling in six figures a year. I never can understand why others resent someone doing well for themselves. It doesn't matter what you say, they'll judge. Knowing someone involved in social media, while there are some nice perks, it's a LOT of work. Just recording the content and getting good shots and several angles is a lot of work and time consuming. The equipment is costly too. Not to mention the time spent editing! People can't know what they don't know... what are you gonna do? But you two are always positive and grateful and it shows! And I honestly hope you are well paid for your hard work. I love watching and and it's FREE for me! I'm landlocked now, and I'd never get to see or enjoy this beautiful Earth and her gorgeous waterways were it not for youtuber's who take the time to share their adventures. Enjoy yourselves and your lives. You're good people. That goodness will return to you in so many ways. Remember this if you can. Some people will love you, and some people will hate you, and NONE of it, will have anything to do with you. People are in their own head, with their own ideas, and judging the world through their own lens/experience. Be true to yourselves and you will have great success. I'm sending love to you kids and wishes for safety and ease in your travels!✌🏻💕
Those expenses that were boat repairs ,are one time costs. Next year , you'll be set ! P.s. Sierra. Order the peddle tumbler style, manual washing machine. It's lightweight , plastic , and simple.
Why Sierra only, doesn't Billy gets his pants dirty?
If you think boat repairs are a "one time cost", you've never owned a boat.😄
@@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs what the comment meant was : they're not a monthly expenses ,and if they were : YOUR ABILITY TO DO A JOB CORRECTLY ,IS SERIOUSLY LACKING. A JOB WORTH DOING , IS WORTH DOING RIGHT.
For insurance, have you looked into DiverDan insurance? It's good for emergencies. We had a friend while crossing from South America to Australia, the husband had a medical emergency. Because they had DiverDan, they came out to the middle of the ocean, picked him up, took him to Australia. His wife stayed with the boat because they didn't want to loose the boat. She sail single handed the rest of the way, but had people on the radio keeping her company. Without DiverDan, he would have died out there. Just a suggestion.
Some of best information I have seen in a long time I am 3 years from doing this.
This sounds like a very reasonable and honest budget. Well done. Live every day.
I remember when the first video I saw from your channel was the one talking about the cost of living on a boat when you were on Neverland. So glad I clicked on it.
Thanks for sharing your budget with us. I like to hear this as I am trying to figure this out before we retire to determine what we can afford. I think you can live cheap, but boats can be expensive for sure. You guys should be proud of yourselves, and ignore the negative comments from people. We all know those people and why they say mean hateful things.. Great video guys!!
As far as making money on a boat, we decided to work through the travel. Chris has so many skills...he can do all boat projects!
Tony & Susan here, This was a great video , thank you so much for the info. We hope to see you out there in 30 months. Now go out there and make difference , no pressure .
Wow, what an inspirational story. Thank you, guys, for letting us living the American nautical dream vicariously through you two! Really exciting!
A really good video guys. Budget is really the way to go. CZcams just does not make you money but it is a key to other income. DIY is the way to go on boat maintenance. Buying local and what the locals eat is a top tip. We did a video on the first season costs with the two pooches. This last season was more expensive. However, $14k a year is doable without the internet high speed that you guys need. Hence we posted less and at lower res.... But its not our main income as we are semi retired and share for others not income. As always good to watch and informative. BTW What happened with the sick engine? Sorted?
Sail Safe guys. Ant, Cid and the pooch crew.
I feel like this is a good life for you. You both look great! You are very likeable and give good information. Thanks for this video.
You sure have WORKED your way up! I'm retired military (with a 2nd career) and was impressed from the beginning because, as a young man, your work ethic and positive attitude were admirable. People worry about the future of our country but it is in good hands with people like Billy and Sierra. If you have children you will pass these traits along. You guys have so much to be proud of! On another note, it does cost money to run a business. I hope you are writing off all your business expenses and with your jobs almost EVERYTHING you do is a business expense. Don't be shy with your taxes.
That's funny, I totally assumed you somehow had heaps of cash and bought everything in working order. I didn't ever feel like I needed to write you something mean, but it's awesome you pulled yourselves up with sweat equity. Respect!
Based on this, these guys could sure use more Patreons, if you are a subscriber and could spare a cup of coffee per month please consider sponsoring them. I am a contributor and challenge the viewers here to get these guys in a solid place where they can do more and provide more content for us. As you can see from this video the funds are all going to good use. DO IT FOR JETTY if nothing else. Great video and thank you for the detailed explanation.
*_ Not to Piss on your parade Wes but this channel has become a bit of "Same ole Same ole Same" and every other channel has suddenly ALSO come up with the EXACT "What does it cost to live on a boat" and as far as PATREON money goes, well there's the new Dinghy and all that luxury Sh!t etc. These two should start getting away from this Aqua-Marine Pond and go do some REAL Sailing far beyond like REAL SAILORS ... OR go do some work and earn their own money!! Basically, they're Glorified GYPSIES! but at least Gypsies earned their keep by doing work around everywhere they stopped. _*
@@liongod1000 Why are you here Robert. Sounds like you should practice some Social Distancing. #SocialDistancing
@@liongod1000 Sounds like someone is jealous!
Every channel needs the Jackass Troll, I guess that's you Robert...
No doubt living in your parents basement...lol
I've watched/loved your videos from the beginning and the openness and honesty is much appreciated. In response to Wes' post and Robert the troll's response below I've become a Patreon. Love you guys!
@@liongod1000 : #1 - These two are the youngest out there doing this - and do a far better job of videography and sailing than most, imo... #2 - I have unsubscribed to almost every other "sailing" channel I used to watch (Nahoa, GWTW's, Zatara, Uma, SRR, etc...) because of their recent Lack of sailing, and seemingly having resolved to just showing their stupid travels to deplorable places (only still sub to Tula and O'Kelly's anymore)... #3 - They are just cool "kids", living a life that they created from scratch... that very few others, at ANY age would even attempt to do... So - There!
Very interesting! I wish I could get my wife to get on a boat!! LOL!! Thank you for sharing your adventures!!
You three deserve all the success that comes your way! Stay yourselves and keep living on your terms.
Thanks for the info: most practical one I have watched so far. Not so scared about sailboat now 🙂
Thank you! Makes a ton of sense. Sailing blogs consistency say to expect to spend 10-20% of boat value .....will be spent on boat repairs or upgrades each year. So I didn't think the 31k was too high.....and to your point....it increases value of your boat! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent talk on expenses. Word to the wise, have a lot of liability /umbrella coverage. G*d forbid you cause someone to be injured...
I loved your talk about the dog and the dogs on the island. You found some friendly ones! Very well done on food expenses.
Awesome video.... Poo poo the nay-sayers out there... 😁 My stepfather (the most brilliant and helpful financial advisor I ever had) told me the same thing you said, 'don't take out a loan, only buy it if you have the money'... Never get caught in that trap!! Cheers you two..
I'm proud of y'all! You are living the American dream. You found what you wanted to do and went for it. You figured it out as you went. That's great! Keep going!
Here is a tip to save you a few bucks I saw it on Wind Hippy Sailing. Use crappy wifi to upload your videos to Dropbox 2GB for free. The thing about Dropbox is that it will auto resume if the connection drops. Then have a trusted person at home who can access your Dropbox and post it to CZcams.
I know I'll never have the courage to do this 😭. But still watched the entire video
Thanks for the update guys been living on my boat with my gf and dog for 2 years now takes every penny but it's worth every penny
Just another old guy checking in. I would love to do what you are doing but my wife doesn't like boats so as soon as we can sell our house we're getting a land yacht, and it will cost considerably more than $50,000. That said, I've had this dream for most of my 65 years and I need to do it while I'm still able. What I'm hearing is that you are spending about $3,000 a month living and $2,500 fixing up your boat. Hopefully fixing up your boat will end soon, I know that maintenance won't, but new rigging and so forth are not annual expenses. Keep living the dream and never look back.
For laundry get a washboard and the heavy duty dish gloves. Washboards work quick but protect your hands.

Great to watch you guys.and the work you've put in to the boat.keep it up.i love it.maybe I'll see you.when I get my boat.🙃😁🐟
The joy of living on the pick, the holding of chain comes at a cost, abrasive sea bed grinds off galvanising really quick.
We also live on a trawler. We have spent so much staying in a marina... looking forward to anchoring
Looking for my first trailer sailer, but have thought about ‘getting away from it all’ and found your vid. I will be following as I am able, but had a thought. When I was much younger and even now, I make my own syrup or srup...how ever you spell it (haha). Next time you’re in the states, or check amazon for a small bottle of imitation maple flavor. I boil one cup of water and dissolve completely two cups of sugar and add one capful of maple flavor. It’s a little thinner than store bought syrup but stores without refrigeration for about 6 months. If all the sugar is not completely dissolved, it may re- crystallize in time but it’s still perfectly usable.
Happy sailing
Great information, I didn't know the cost of living on a boat. Unfortunately, I can't be a patron, but does watching the ads before your video help bit? Stay safe and happy!
Give that beautiful pup a kiss for me!! 😊❤🌏⛵🏝☀️
Another viewer shared her search on the subject with me and found this -
I guess I'll be watching for 30 seconds, when I can stand it, from now on. Or, I'll just click on the ad and go to the advertiser's page and then jump back to the video. That might be faster and I think they get their best money for clicks.If it's something I don't desire to support, at all, I won’t click.
Anyway, the search revealed this info for CZcams creators:
It is important to remember, however, that you are not going to earn money simply because the ads are there. How many times have you clicked on straight past an ad when watching a video yourself. Viewers have to actively interact in some way with an ad for it to earn you money.
Your ad options are:
Display ads beside your video - you will be paid either when a viewer sees or clicks on the ad, at the advertiser’s discretion
Overlay ads (small ads at the bottom of a video) - you only get paid if a viewer clicks on the ad to expand it
Skippable video ads (ads at the start of a video that a viewer can skip after five seconds) - you get paid if a viewer watches the whole ad (or at least 30 seconds if it’s longer). These are the most common type of CZcams ad.
Non-skippable video ads (ads at the start which viewers can’t skip over) and Bumper ads (short ads at the start of a video on mobile) - you get paid if a viewer watches an entire ad
Mid-roll ads (ads in the middle of a longer video) - payment depends, but usually, a viewer has to watch an entire ad for at least 30 seconds)
Be careful if you are tempted to use non-skippable ads. You need to have built up a dedicated audience who love you first. Most people do not have the patience to sit through a non-skippable ad unless they have a real desire to see the video.
An important point to remember.
You won’t get paid just because you have ads on your videos. Your viewers have to actively watch your ads! BUT, most viewers skip ads! So you need high numbers of viewers first, to have enough of them bothering to click on your ads.
I always enjoy listening to good hearted people thanks so much
I just like the fact that every time Billy looked at the computer, Sierra looked right into my eyes! The connection was great! Lol.
Impressed with your adventure and thank you for sharing details of anticipated costs. Bravo to you both for your work ethic and following your dream
GREAT CHANNEL I just found your channel and I love it. I’m not sure if you covered this in a video already but. What was your cost of electronics on the vessel ? Like the Navigation equip, vhf radios Did you have to buy or upgrade any of that type stuff? I noticed you guys are using an iPad for navigation, is that an app? What brand of navigation equipment are you currently running? Are you running radar? Thanks Rich
I'm a year late, but still love you guys 😂 thanks
Medi-share or a similar health share group would work great for you guys. When mom was dealing with cancer we were extremely pleased with the level of service. And there were a lot of bills... I do believe you pay up front for services and they reimburse, but the payout if very quick and efficient. Low rates too. Definitely worth looking at. Love the vids
You are beautiful people. I truly love you guys. What an extraordinary life. Very inspired. Respect...
Very informative. I have always wanted to live on a live aboard. Something always keeps me from my goal. The house thing is just getting to be a drag with the cost of everything never ending. I want less and my goal is to go back to the beach life. I miss that the most. I'll be watching you on your epic journeys and for now live life through your eyes. And yes I would defentely suport your channel.
Thank you for this video and the breakdown of costings. I've been thinking about this as an alternative way of living. Great example for me to show my near 19 year old son as a different way of living and travelling.
Seems like a good deal on that catamaran. The dingy engine was outright theft over $3k and only 20hp! You can buy a brand new small block chevy for that!
Thanks for giving us a look at a very personal part of your life. Without this info most wouldn't have a clue what it costs and the work/skills required to live this life. But, it certainly looks like its worth it, especially with what's going on in the world these days.
Thanks for sharing! Even though I am not an ocean guy and prefer the mountains, I really enjoy watching your videos as you are clearly working hard to create a life that is fun for you!
That was a great video it was very helpful. I have been boating for 40 years but day boating. I don't ever seeing me living on a boat but could see sailing in S Florida for a week or two. Thank you for sharing and safe sailing.
A boat is a depreciating asset that will consume 80% of your time and $$ repairing, upgrading, replacing, stripping, sanding, painting, electronics, solar, batteries, repower, sails, and whatever is left is spent sailing and having fun. The old adage is true. A boat is a hole in the water you throw money and time into.
Being a retired Firefight, and a cruising catamaran sailor. I think you would make a great firefighter. Good video too.
Hope all that hard work you put into Tula payed off. You guys busted your butts making Tula what she was.
Another great vid .. 👋 bye
I think Tula was the first boat, the current boat is "Adrenaline"...
DPL 26 your right, I was speaking on all the work they put into Tula , that started them off on this journey. I’ve been watching since they 1st started off. The sweat equity from Tula made their next purchase easier ( that was my hope) . Thanks DpL26, nice to meet you
@@jfraney6002 After reading a second time I got it... I'm sure whatever equity they had in Tula was quickly absorbed by everything to date, boats one EXPENSIVE proposition for sure..
One of my favorite channels! So nice to see them living their best lives!
You guys are cute. Thank you for sharing. It’s awesome to see youngsters (sorry) leaning forward in great hope and fear of the unknown. Proud of you guys, fair sails and excellent adventures.
Billy/Sierra....well done...you are making your own way in the world & doing it with a smile & humility.....Stay Safe.....cheers from Cairns, Australia
Great video. We (I) watch every one, by every sailor to learn. And it's needed. The fun videos the last decade are what attracts, the educational reality is what makes the goal available. In the next decade, the pioneers have already made the mistakes and gained the experience. That makes anyone with future plans safer, and that goal more attainable. Big thanks to you and all that paid their dues and sacrificed to help the rest of us. Tip my hat to you.
Syrup is cheap and easy to make.
Thanks for giving us your numbers. I've been looking into buying a boat myself. After 30 years of traveling the US it's about time to travel the world.
Glad I found this video, I'm seriously considering life on a boat.
two thumbs up...you are working for yourself, making a living, and enjoying it.
You kids are awesome! I’ve been pondering selling selling my home buy a boat and live on it to get away from all this crap going on in today’s world!
You are not alone in that thought.
Thank you for the candid insight. I've always wondered how much it costs to live in a boat. This video was awesome! Keep up the great work!!!
I have nothing to say, I’m just supporting you leaving a comment :)
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for the honest and real info! Very helpful.
THANK you for sharing this. You two are such an inspiration..such hard workers, you deserve everything good that comes your way. Given the current situation in the world it is so nice to just watch your videos and get away from it all. THANK YOU BOTH, and thanks to your parents for raising two great people right!
Awesome attitude guys, it’s great to see you are living life. People mostly regret what they haven't done...
My guess is hauling out your old engines and re-powering your boat! (If not- you should! 😉)
Anybody out there that call you trust fund babies haven't watched all your videos. The two of you have to be the hardest working sailors on YT. If there was anyone that has EARNED what they have- it is the two (or three, Hi Jetty!) of you. You bought right, put sweat equity into each step of the way and were rewarded for your hard work. I predict you will have 200+K subscribers by the end of the year. You deserve it.
Stay safe out there!
I know you two are living very efficiently and still living your dream!!
So happy you put this video out. So few CZcams channels share what their expenses are/were. Great info and yes, I subtracted the high dollar upgrades from you annual total since they most likely won't be yearly. Thanks again. Great job.
Very helpful info!!! Newest subscriber! Thank you 😎
This is really informative. Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes!
I sure appreciate all your info, it's "real data", and that's the best kind of education! Love the videos and thank you both for all you do! Jim.
Nick from Ruby Rose just called.. Please and few more hundred dollars to the budget to get Billy's nails done at the salon! Apparently when he climbed into nicks bed at the Annapolis Boat show he left claw marks! LOL! Be safe Stay Safe and stay away from the Corona Beer Virus! Cheers from the States!
New Engine.. Great show as always.
Thanks for sharing, we appreciate the realness of the content of this video.
Nice job guys, tbh considering this as a lifestyle change - this was really helpful
Thanks for the honest complete realistic breakdown. Greetings from Wisconsin
Great informational video, thanks! Keep living the good life
New sub here.............13:00 you drove right by the total for phone/internet......I had to replay!!! Great content and quality,will be watching often. Stay safe.
This is an insightful video! You two gave a lot of very personal financial information. Really good information! It was pretty interesting. You two have done videos like this before, I think. My memory is so bad. I could be wrong. Sailing and having a life like yours is a dream for a lot of us. I know you two put a lot of hard work into it. I know that it's not all pleasure. I've been following your channel for about 2 years now and seen some of the crazy hard work you guys put into your boat. Plus, I done some binge watching of your older videos from years ago, and your more recent historical videos that you put out. I love these videos and they give me an escape from the craziness of life, especially now with the Covid-19 outbreak. I took a few days off from work because some of my coworkers are acting up with fear of contracting this virus. It was more than I could stand so I'm home right now for a couple extra days. I'm a government worker required to continue working. I was suppose to transfer and move to the Palm Beach area, but this virus has put a hold on this plan. Anyways, Love your adventures and seeing Jetty! Hopefully, Sierra, you can get back to Adrenaline soon. I can't imagine Billy sailing her on his own to the US Virgin Islands. Please stay safe, Billy! Keep Jetty safe, too! All the best, you 3!
Thank you so so much for the honesty and senserity in this video. It really helped me personally. I have no intention of starting a CZcams channel, but I recently put my house up for sale (last Wednesday) and when it sells I'm moving aboard my 50 year old trawler. I am also planing on living on the hook. Although from what I'm hearing it's becoming more and more difficult in areas like Florida, Georgia and the Carolina's. But I'm still going to try. My motto it's easier to apoligize for making a mistake then ask permission and be denied! Thanks Billy & Sierra truly a great video!
Appreciate you sharing this amount of detailed information, it really helps me understand what I can expect.
You two are such nice people. You may not hear this enough but Thanks for being so awsome❣️🙏
