From 9 to 5 to Full-Time Sailors | How We Made It Happen

We went from a normal 9 to 5 life to sailing full-time - with our dog 🐶⛵
In this Q&A, we answer your most common questions about how we made the transition to full-time sailing, what boat life is really like, and what it’s like to live at sea with a dog onboard.

We talk honestly about:
• How we quit our 9-5 corporate jobs
• How we afford full-time sailing
• Our experience learning to sail
• The realities of sailing with a dog
• The true costs of sailing full-time
• What we miss from life on land

If you’re dreaming about full-time sailing, the liveaboard lifestyle, van life on the water, or bringing your dog along for the adventure — this video is for you 🫶
