Did he just casually mention sailing around the Mediterranean in a 420 dinghy at the start. That thing is not meant to be lived on, let alone toured. Sounds like he would have some seriously fascinating stories to tell just from that experience!
Yup. Wow.
Probably camping tour?
He didnt say he lived on it but did sail it. A 420 has a centre board not a keel which means he can land on any beach and as travers114 suggested camp. Its 4.2m and really needs 2 people to sail right, but 1 could do it very carefully but not recommended. Its a fairly high preformance boat.
Even just coast hop camping that route is a pretty serious accomplishment in my view.
I had to rewind for that 😂.. he just inspired me for a sail/camping trip on the hobie bravo.. o.o
after hundred of hours watching boat owners show off their vessels this is the most comfortable looking home I have ever seen. You have my jealousy.
My thoughts as well. While the newer fancy boats are indeed nice, older boats just have that charm. I grew up in a very old house with actual handmade woodworking everything was solid wood no composites, and all of our vehicles were old. That boat is beautiful it may not have the latest gadgets or high tech composite construction but in my eyes it is perfect and just seeing it brings me peace.
same here.
And my axe!
i love sailboats and i’ve never seen one i want more
A boat this big requires a lot of skills operate and to maintain in working order nevermind the initial cost to purchase...like he said start small..I have lived comfortably in a 26 foot cabin cruiser until the marina sold out to a condo development and I had to sell the boat and live on land..the boat lifestyle is not for everyone there's a lot of work but it is satisfying and peaceful
A boat is NOT a low maintenance home. I have to applaud his skills at keeping this so nice for 12 years
Well, if you live on a boat, what else are you going to do but work on it... and relax. I doubt live-aboards spend too much time in malls or at the opera!
An understatement! A wooden boat that big is almost a full time job. The sea is destructive!
I have a 7 meter 60 years old wooden boat. And trust me it's hard to maintain. Every year you need to take it out and paint it over again(with special paints), then replace any boards that might be rotten(if you paint it well this happens every 10ish years) and replacing those boards is hard tbh and you need a lot of knowladge for it. For my boat i spend arond €1500 a year
Let alone it being a wood boat. You gotta rich to afford to maintain that. And good luck insuring it..
@@mirothemighty4054 1.500 euros a year is nothing.
Some people pay this by month to live in shit apartments in shit cities haha
"This cabin is for one, unless they're really in love, it can be for two" 🤣🥰 , love this guy
Lol. I was waiting for this comment
2:34 read the book cover while going downstairs. LOL.
PRICELESS.
I was just about to comment on it. 😂😂😂
Guess the guy likes cats.
@@mypronounismaster4450 Good one.
(The Book in this Vid ) Jacobson Howard Pussy. A provocatively entertaining, savagely funny satire on Donald Trump by Britain's greatest comic novelist. Pussy is the story of Prince Fracassus, heir presumptive to the Duchy of Origen, famed for its golden-gated skyscrapers and casinos, who passes his boyhood watching reality shows on TV, imagining himself to be the Roman Emperor Nero, and fantasizing about hookers. He is idle, boastful, thin-skinned and egotistic; has no manners, no curiosity, no knowledge, no idea and no words in which to express them. Could he, in that case, be the very leader to make the country great again?
@@africantwin173 wot
God bless the people who live life their own way
It still takes money.
If I had that much money I'd do something pretty similar..More like a cabin in the woods, though...
Just think about what hurdles they have to overcome and how much freedom has been cut in the last years. For everything you need a license nowadays and first you pay fees.
50 years ago you could live from one dollar a day on your boat. That’s long gone.
Today you need so much passive income for a liveaboard, you need to have a truly unique idea to achieve some serious money at young age , to get there or you use other people’s money per youtube.
But then you are constantly forced to produce content until all the fun is gone.
So basically it’s becoming more and more impossible and that is exactly what the rich people in power want. And I’m not criticizing capitalism here. Rather the opposite is the case.
Communism camouflaged as socialism is on the rise and with it comes regulations and surveillance.
Amen
Couldn't agree more. There are so many ways to live a good life. Cheers to those bold enough to break the 9-5 mold we've all been sold.
This is the real deal screw the super yachts
agreed! i'd take one of these ships or a trimarin over a super yacht ANY day.
@@jamesdick2580 I can't imagine ever living on a boat--too small and cramped, too hot--and what are you doing with the, uh, waste? But if I HAD to live on a boat, this would be one to choose, I think. It's BIG and looks comfy. It's got to be a bear to sail, but it's a classic.
@@richardernsberger5692 The poop goes in the pond.p
@@jamesdick2580 this! or a trimaran?
Absolutely!!
This boat has so much character, by far my favourite boat in the whole word .
You're basically a full-time maintenance man when you live on an old sailboat. He doesn't sound like he's burned out or worn out! It sounds like he's got it all figured out.
I mean that’s what I am at my house, but I’m not on the ocean haha
We have a 50ft sailboat from the 60s and a house. I'm a full maintenance man period. If it's the cars, engine repair, furniture, electrical, water, boat, fiberglass, paint, welding aluminum, I do it all. Saves you great amounts of money and is a good feeling because you can do stuff. Most people can't even maintain their own body and have to pay for everything. Not what I call being a man...
Yeah he probably invites people to stay onboard and take them sailing only to have them do most of the work soon as they leave harbour , I live on boat and see this type of situation all the bloody time the people that live on old sail boats even newer ones expect everything for nothing especially people's labour .
@@aussieguy3689 way to assume something about someone you've never met.
Coolest Sailboat ever! If the boat could talk I bet it would have a great story to tell!

If the boat could talk, that WOULD be a great story.
@Al Morrison Guess I'm the 3rd cynic then? Lucky they didn't use a UV light!!! Gross...
Stunning vessel.. You never actually own such a piece of history.. You've signed on to take care of her as long as you can. The captain probably dreams maintenance, lives eats and sleeps maintenance and his holidays are spent doing maintenance! All the while with love in his heart.
I had 30 footer wooden one. Couldnt keep up with her maintainence. This one here, ough. You're a slave, and she needs to work, just to keep her like that. Kudos to her Captain.
The problem is that people tend to think of maintenance as a chore you mustn't like. It's not.
You maintain things you have, like your own body, so it stays in good condition and you don't have to buy new. It's respecting and honoring the value of things. In modern times people don't know anything and hence throw away their things, if the powercable of the TV is broken. Scale that further and you end up dissecting your engine, changing the headgasket and install new navionics.
Hope you're a sadist because...
Keel bolts that you coulda swore was there is now a fresh leak.
GOOD MORNING VIETNAM
I just love the sound the boat makes when he's walking around showing the different sleeping quarters. The creaking of the wood,
Lol its less pleasant at night watching horror movies alone 😂 Took a while for me to get used to on mine. The creaking kept sounding like someone had stepped onto my deck.
@@HaleyStark. Do you know what country is the flagg from on his vessel? Besides that, would you recomend a wooden boat as a live a board? I am thinking about buying a boat over the next few months and am looking for opinions if a wooden boat is ok. They are much cheaper and my budget is limited. I would like to sail after refiting her around the world with it.
@@davecopp9356 sorry Im too busy to watch the vid again and check the flag. Im also not great with flags.
Wooden boats arent the best. They need a LOT of maitenance. Fibreglass is the best imo. If you can travel look in different areas. Mine cost 5k. In florida and similar places you could probably find a fixer upper almost free.
@@HaleyStark. Thank you very much. All the best and happy sailing. I am looking at an Albin Vega at the moment. It is a bid small but very cheap.
@@davecopp9356 A little advice from someone that has lived on a boat for about 7yrs now , I'm guessing you don't have much knowledge about boats and what it takes to keep them afloat . A timber vessel is not for an amateur nor one that has just stepped into the marine world there can be loads of problems with timber boats and they can be hard , costly and very time consuming to maintain i would highly recommend a fibreglass hull with an inboard diesel engine . ✌️
Martin is the quintessential "old sea dog" bless his seafaring heart.
He just seemed so at peace with his life. Great video! Be Safe. Thank You!!!
Scottish Built. Around the time when Glasgow, Scotland, built around 20% of the World's merchant vessels. Hard to believe but true.
Glasgow was once the most important or second most important city in the world. Sic transit gloria mundi
How Mach it cost?
Also Scottish built...

Die Ausstrahlung dieses Schiffes ist unglaublich ,ein lebendiges Stück Geschichte mit Charme und Seele .Es zieht mich dahin und erweckt Sehnsüchte auch ein Leben in Freiheit zu leben .
I’ve always told my wife that if not for her and our dogs, I’d live a solitary life of my own accord. This man is living the best life he possibly could and has acquired both piece of mind and wealth through the ownership of beautiful vessel. I could watch this video for hours and be intrigued the entire time. Superb film, Martin. Godspeed, sir.
Kind of a fucked up thing to tell your wife...
I don't want this tour to end. I could watch an hour of someone just walking around on this beauty
Same here i love it
RIGHT!!!!!
I would love to see it under sail.
Yes me too
i totally agree. this is a beautiful sailboat.
BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SAILBOATS I'VE EVER SEEN!!!❤ GOD BLESS
What a beautiful old boat and Martin seems like a great character! Thanks for sharing the story.
And that Ladies and Gentlemen is real wealth
I agree
...and it is the freedom that financial wealth can buy. Must be nice.
@@msmegification not sure about this given that many in the world live either with very little or no money and provided that they are not contaminated by consumerism, they seem quite content i.e. you only need what you need and being trapped by a bloody great mortgage is not one of them
So tell me then, how do you afford to buy such a boat and rig it with all the high-tech equipment that's a board it without a great deal of money? Do you have any idea how much that equipment costs?
I'm not arguing with you regarding consumerism, or with the concept that you need very little to live comfortably. What I am saying is that this boat likely cost a great deal of money to procure upgrade and maintain. That doesn't come free or at a low cost, it is a very expensive endeavor and it's ongoing.
What a cool place! That thing had a lot more space in it than it looks. Love the old style of craftmanship. Great drone work too. Great job guys!
Travis Cosentino and the wood. Man
Beautiful boat. I'd love to listen to his many stories. He sounds like someone who has taken a different path.
I'm 74 and just started building a new cabin. I've hand split my own firewood-oak! Talk about fire hazard, I'd give up the smokes! Good luck on your journey.
I love your videos Dylan, glad to see you uploading great content again!!
I'm pretty sure it's a Miller Fifer ketch built in Scotland and is of a classic MFV (Motor Fishing Vessel) design. Boats produced by this yard provided the backbone of Britain's fishing industry for many years. These boats were built to survive.
La Barone I googled that and you seem to be right. I just couldn’t find any the size of his.
@@vondahe probably made special order from a big company or govt
@@vondahe The 82.02ft Custom sail yacht 'Styrr' was built by Custom in United Kingdom at their Glasgow shipyard .
Yeah to run that thing on your own and sail it is almost impossible at that size, unless you are mooring offshore all the time. Getting it into moorings, backed in and so on would be tough as a solo-guy, even if you had a buddy. With a crew of five or so you'd be set though.
MFV design but I think the Miller Fifers apart from being smaller were built as yachts using the traditional lines when the orders for actual fishing vessels dried up.
Wealth is not measured by a bank account, but by completion-in-life...this video shows great personal wealth that few ever find. Bravo!
Of the tens of millions of vids on YT, this is perhaps one of the best ever, thanks to everyone who had a hand in the making of it, and bless you Martin, for sharing your beautiful home with us ! Be safe and well, Sir !!
Wow, that Sailboat is nothing short of stunning, awesome video!
Both the boat and this humble man's life are simply, PRICELESS. In the first scene I thought, 'My God, how can that still float...', but as the video progressed, I actually became quite emotional at the beauty and character of everything - including Martin himself. GBY
This is the most beautiful sail boat I think I have ever seen. Wood has such a better look, it will be around a 100 years from now. Thank you for sharing your boat,
Actually it was around one year, then it sank.
I absolutely love this boat. So much character and history. Such a beautiful vessel.
The book at 2:35
caaan somebody gibe me da __ please?
Yeah.....I saw that too. I bet he has gotten plenty on that boat.
If you have a lifestyle like he does... you have to be able to manage a huge amount ... of... _______
What's book? Can explain me, please? )
@@manta1969manta the book titled pussy
Such a lucky man. You can see in his face that he is happy, you can be really proud about your preasure life. Really nice old sailboat, she is a beauty with lots of love. I wish you allways good wind and fun in your sailing adventures and your journey. best wishes from Germany
What a magnificent example of a well looked after sailing vessel......lots of miles on the clock but some loving care to keep her going. You can almost smell the interior timber.....thank you for sharing your dream and obviously, your passion.
May you have fair winds and a following sea for the rest of your days....keep living the dream...........make sure you keep the videos coming...please!!
regards from Australia.
Definitely one of the best boats I've ever seen on youtube. It has so much character and charm, everything has it's own place and it's been looked after brilliantly by a really well down to earth veteran.
Hell with a 3 million boat. I want this. The creeks in the floor rafters and the furniture reminds my of my grandad and nans house.
This boat is expensive too it’s a Rolls Royce that’s why it’s still looking sexy classic
InstegramSHQIP i know other wise I would not comment. This is the creme de la creme of all boats.
InstegramSHQIP it is not worth 20.000 but it’s the significance of it that gives it character.
JOEY RABBIT I like this more than the rest I would use this boat for weekends chilling just seating in the back in that swing relaxing on a warm windy weather aahhh and cooking fish 🐟 perfect weekend
InstegramSHQIP I would make this my full time home if I didn’t have my daughter lol. Dreams hey. Lol.
Wow. What a beautiful classic boat. A great story from an interesting man, Martin; Captain Martin. Who would not want to sail on this beauty given the chance. Imagine the stories you could hear around the dining table each evening. Fabulous. Thanks for posting this video, Dylan and friends. Glad I caught it.
man those 2 rolls royce engines where huge! i wish i knew more about them. what a cool boat!
That vessel has so many memories woven around it......what a beautiful boat along with a beautiful lifestyle.
Thankyou for the tour of your home....truly stunning.
I like the voice of this man. so peaceful and "a bit of gravel in the throat"
That bit of gravel in the throat, as you call it, will be diagnose as throat cancer, in the near future. IF HE KEEPS SMOKING...
Gravel in the throat because he smokes!!!
lets's hope its not the case.wish him the best
Well. you dont see a wife....
He seems so at peace, and relaxed yet looking at his hands says there's been a lot of hardwork.
Very inspiring! I just bought my first sailing boat... only 7m long, 2.30m wide... but feel like a king in my small cabin already... it helps to see things from a different perspective...life can (should) be easy... if you have some talents that can pay for what you need for living- you should rethink the way you want to live!I When you feel something in you that makes you think about your life and goals: act before it's too late! Martin did the right thing! Ahoi
it's really nice to hear this guy talk about boat-life in such a balanced way.
and to talk about it as such a nice way to live, and to also comment that there are other good ways to live too.
it's so nice to hear the balance.
I always considered myself blessed to have been a mason apprentice under my 3 uncles and father and father's friends, a rare amount of knowledge for a lad.Im 44 now, I'd trade it all to beside this man. In my mind has always been a wonder of what's just out of site,around the next corner. What a love affair, the sea and a sailboat. She's beautiful. My sailing lessons start in a few weeks. It's an awe inspiring to see and hear your story.
Thank god there is someone out there living their dreams.
This video was filmed in Kotor, Montenegro, We were on anchor and Styrr came and anchored near us. We hopped in the dinghy and went over and asked if we could get a tour. Such a beautiful boat! What's you're favorite part?
The very last drone shot has Arianrhod in the shot so you can see the size comparison to our 1979 Morgan 382
every inch of it is a favorite. It is amazing!
amazing...
liked the pussy book in the bookshelf near the staircase haha
My hometown, how wonderful.
Hard to say my favorite part, but I want that boat, or at least one like it. That's a special one, and my hometown is Newport RI, so I know my boats. Great video, of a very lucky man. Good bless you for this video. It really made me think. Thank you!
The way you live your life is what I am longing and preparing for to live mine! Thank you for giving me inspiration and hope :)
As someone whom does woodworking and remodeling on homes, this boat is absolutely a work of love, and art. The layout is frickin awesome and I've never seen anything like it. I'm quite honestly very jealous. As someone that lives a very minimalist life, I very rarely am jealous of anything. I send a thank you sir from Texas for sharing this lovely ship.
Be still my heart; i am in awe. This is beautiful. I am dreaming of visiting this some day. As a Usnavy vet, this is my dream.
There's something about his voice... sometimes you can sence a feeling of sadness, affection,calm, Gratitude... all at the same time!
The colors are just perfect. Really comfy
there is a lot of room inside! I thought the boat would not have so much space but it does. Great!! happy sailing.
Duuuuuuude! How do you spin those webs that snare fascinating people, places and content? And then you edit it to hypnotize all of us. I'm just gobsmacked and in love with this one. The wood, everything felt like a fantasy world I want to go live in. You somehow find a way to outdo your perfect editing and vision every week. Hell yes
Nice boat, your living my soon to be realized dream, always a inspiration to see others proving the possibilities, thank you!
Full of admiration for how you have kitted out this boat and your lifestyle. He casually says he was struck by lightening twice!
your sailboat is the most beautiful, most awesome boat i ever, EVER laid eyes on!!! God bless you!
nothing works on an old boat except it's owner.
johnsc14 its*
Man you got the camera action down brother! Excellent! Great interview.
God bless you man! Live long, live a colorful life!
A century sounds like a long time till you are over half way there 😉
This is my new favourite boat. Looks giant, and I love the creaking sounds of the wood.
Lol that creaking was the bottom telling him it was about to fall off. And it did.
wow ive watched a ton of boat stuff and this is the coolest so far
The radiators are just amazing, and that wood stove! This is amazing.
Imagine the sights this ship has seen and the stories it has to tell. Amazing.
This was so lovely, I'm so happy I got to watch this
Martin is an amazing guy, and i just love his boat. It is just beautiful... old for sure, but just beautiful. I love the woodwork and the warmth and comfort that it exudes. Stunning :-)
So wonderfully authentic.
0:22 just melts my heart.
2:33 Pussy book
Amazing!! Every single spot looks so coozy.. it looks like the most comfortable house ever.. I guess except when the weather is nasty... I would have loved hearing about what happens when a thunder strikes your boat... Besides the awesome insurance that covered you.
Thunder never strikes...it's the lightning that'll kill ya....lol
@@spignetti thank you David... Guess my second language just got confused with ACDC's song thunderstruck ... lol.
One must study the pussy.
I have that, it's good. It's a novel about a spoiled prince who lives in a country that's entirely blind to climate change and pollution. They all go around in winter clothes because the entire city is air conditioned because its constantly 35 Celsius outside. He grows up with no respect for women and likes to 'grab em by the pussy'. It's almost as if it's aimed at a certain floppy haired orange hate-goblin. ;)
This man is truly living his own agenda.
This board is a dream. Beautifully crafted. He’s totally self sufficient -awesome 👍
Absolutely beautiful boat! The inside is surprisingly impressive and tasteful. Love it! I cannot imagine the work 10 people would have to do on a regular basis to maintain this boat let alone one man!
a beautiful boat, well loved, congratulations, the sea loves you
Such Wow!!!!! Great boat, Great sailor!
OMGoodness what a vessel and home. So much work. Impressive. Thanks for the look aboard.
What a beautiful boat. Thank you for sharing it with us. You are blessed.
Now thats a journey man life style done in style. The dont build them like that anymore. Normally the old boats are really tight below, but this looks amazing. I would love to see more shots with the full sail plan up.
It’s a converted fishing boat, he pulled out the bulkhead for the fish hold to give more room below deck
Balls of steel...respect.
True freedom
What I love about this boat, is that it's not perfect- but it doesn't have to. You never find the charm this one has on pretty much any of the tours of brand new and expensive boats on youtube. Beautiful.
That's a beautiful boat and Martin seems to give off positive vibes. Safe travels.
@2:34 and here I thought you were missing the one thing I cannot sail without.

Greatings from the netherlands 🇳🇱
God bless you my friend and I wish you'd have lovely calm sailing
I love wooden boats, yours is spectacular, Thank you for giving everyone a tour
He seems very " at one " with his boat and lifestyle . A great achievement . At first sight I thought the boat was a converted Scottish fishing boat . Looks a very stable design .
He said it WAS built in Scotland, so the styling likely has the clues you saw.
I liveaboard a 1967 44ft viking motoryacht and we would love to have you visit Dylan
Message me on instagram instagram.com/dylanmagaster/
Was not expecting the interior to look as amazing as it did by looking at the outside of the boat! The saying, 'never judge a book by its cover' could not be more apparent. Excellent, dream like movie, FLORB!

🎄⛵Dylan as all ways Great Video.Happy Holidays to you and your crew,and subscribers.Happy and safe sailing.
wow, great boat, you have a wonderful life, my friend
That boat is stunning. Absolutely beautiful.
I was watching lots of episodes of living in a van, and feeling jealous of that people. This is, by far, the next level of it! admire!!
What a beautiful boat, and fantastic presentation, thanks for the inspiration .
This man lives the perfect life
Everything is perfect i seen inside... thanks for the information.
Beautiful boat! Comfortable, warm and welcoming. Fun to fantasize living in such an environment.
Absolutely gorgeous vessel. So much character and charm. I'd love to live on something just like this too. I bet he loves every single day on it. Safe journeys out there! Namaste 🙏
No need to retire at 70 captain I'll be your crewman, you just stay on the wheel & bark out the orders, I'll do the rest.

ME TOO ME TOO 😻
Me too.
But his solar panels only enough for him. You will bring noise to his quiet life.
Very nice sentiment.
Thank you for showing your home.
That is one amazing ship! Awesome! Thank you Martin Binswanger for sharing!
That is BEAUTIFUL!!! 😍 The Woodwork is Stunning 👍🏻 This is fine tiny living in the best of sense! All I can think is...WOW!
Tiny? Its at least three times the size of my apartment. Maybe all five. I live in europe and not even poor...
That's splendid!!!
@@NGC1433 yep it might be a lot of narrow passeges and some ladder but it's got more space than what I currently live in....plus a much better view
