How We Soundproofed Our Engine Room (Huge Noise Reduction) | S2 Ep 83

This Christmas, instead of decorations or lights, we gave our boat something it desperately needed — a quieter engine room 🎄⛵

After living with constant engine noise while motoring, we finally decided to tackle engine room soundproofing on our ex-racing yacht. In this episode we show how we installed sound insulation inside the engine space to dramatically reduce vibration and noise on board.

This is one of those upgrades you don’t always see — but you definitely feel. A quieter boat means less fatigue, better conversations underway, and a much more comfortable life aboard, especially when cruising as a family.

If you’re refitting a sailboat, upgrading an older yacht, or wondering whether engine room soundproofing is worth it, this video walks you through the process step by step — including the challenges of working in tight spaces on a performance boat.

🎁 Sometimes the best Christmas presents aren’t shiny — they’re silent.

⛵ We are Sailing NV

We’re a sailing family refitting an ex-Vendée Globe Open 66 into our home on the ocean.
We share life at anchor, big refit projects, ocean passages, and every breakdown along the way — because that’s boat life.
