Why I LOVE My Sailboat (She Can Do ANYTHING!!!) 

Love this! One of my favorite sailing channels ;)

Your channel has helped cultivate my interest in sailing over the past couple of years. You are an inspiration to myself and likely many others. I can't wait to dive into this lifestyle. Channels like yours provide so much priceless information, I almost feel like I should be paying for it. Much love Adventureman!

I am looking forward so much to a lifestyle like yours and I would add scuba diving to my list. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Dan! Fun spending time with you buddy. We’ll meet up again 😉 I’ll grab a boat these next couple years and you can show me some things. -love it bro, -Lane

Been looking for an awesome sailboat video to relax with.

Aquaman Dan! Those little underwater jet packs are so sick!!

Dan, you are the MAN! I only wish I had taken the plunge when I was young! Enjoy every day.

Great episode, showing the reality of sailing , not just the beautiful clear water and calm wind

I'm actually looking at a Bavaria 34C to buy. I crewed on several boats and your point about the sailing community is spot on and I love it. Who knows we might be sharing an ancorage one day.

You’re truly living a dream, and mine too. I wish I could come as a crew and serve ans learn, I am planning to get my boat and I am doing my skipper course at the moment . How can I apply for crew member on your lovely boat?❤️❤️❤️😁🙏

I can’t wait to get my boat. I want to sail from PEI Canada to the Bahamas.!!

I have a Beneteau 393 Oceanis. Love her to bits. Wonderful boat and she puts up with everything.

Exciting as allways😍

Very lovely and believable.

This video was great. Thank you 🙏 it’s very insightful and inspiring.

Good on you Dan, motivates me to walk over the road and take my Benny out too!

Great video Dan ! Best of luck on your next Adventure !

Very inspirational video, man!

Always enjoy your videos Dan, keep 'em coming. Thanks

Great video, you captured a lot of important and relevant points about sailing. Keep it up and keep them coming!

Good for you Dan, great video!

love you bro inspiring me every video

Fantastic plans for 2024. Can you talk more about how you plan your activities on Cuba? As I understand, you're a US citizen, so activities need to fulfill the "Support for the Cuban People" clause.

Thank you!!!

You are amazing!!!

Another 6 reasons to watch your amazing videos . . . . Always So personable and educational . . . Love your channel and your insight into the best things in LIFE . . . :) oh . . . Rad Surf gear too . . .

Do you have a complete list of your updated gear, like the folding bike brand, and underwater leg Jets that you were wearing to speed through the water?!? That was awesome and I would love to research more about it to try and buy one.

respect.👏👏

Can't stop smiling. Thank you.

Amazing video, a life well lived!

You are definitely living the dream life..enjoy. Thanks for sharing. Don't count the days.. make the days Count!.

Thanks

What a dream life, congratulations!!!

Have a Cabo Rico 38 and love watching your channel.

hope i can come aboard someday😁🤙🤙

Looks like you are heading to the Virgin Islands. Beautiful sailing. Enjoy

I would love to mob around from place to place in a little fleet of sailboats with good people. I feel like it makes it safer and just a great way to enjoy it. Once my time in the army is done I’m living this lifestyle

I think you and I are extremely likeminded people. I took a skoolie and rv for my adventures even though I have always been near the ocean and dreaming of sailing.... owning a sailboat always felt like the "rich person" thing...and I never have had much money. Now though at 35 i am starting from nothing and trying to get myself into a sailboat, learn to sail, and then head off. I am very hands-on and have done all my conversion and repairs myself. Keep up the awesome videos. I hope to see you out there one day.

Wow this is the life I dream about. I would sail to Thailand. Thank you for Sharing

The kiteboarding and spear fishing is why I want to get a boat

Awesome channel!

I'm glad you made this, I have been trying to find a nice simple video to show people like my mom. Why I'm so obsessed with sailboats lol

The swim platform is awesome

Thanks for all the great vids! They are definitely inspiring. What brand pole spear do you have? I see it's a slip tip. I've only used a 3 prong, but want to upgrade to slip tip. Thanks again. Safe travels.

Thanks for the video. I want to leave in a few years on my sailboat (kirie feeling 1090) and your video gave me a huge smile. I have to do it !

Extremely inspiring. I'm wondering, is it possible to live this lifestyle part time? Could I do it as an extended vacation several times a year?

My dream! This is a second of your videos I’m watching and I’m hooked. Wonder what could I do to make money and live this way.

Nice man

Have you done a video on boat insurance? I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts and solutions.

Simple answer... A shotgun kit . Lot more food , different kinds of adventures and i can't leave em behind 😅

when are you going to cross oceans Danny boy? i think you're ready for the next leap.

Hi Dan! do you ever plan to sail to Indonesia? we've got great spearfishing spots out here.

How often do you haul out to do regular maintenance/upkeep? Where do you prefer to do it and how much does it cost you? I’ve seen a lot of people say different things and while there are many factors which may influence the answer, I’d really appreciate a basic rundown from someone who lives your lifestyle. I’m a new subscriber, I love and appreciate all the information and passion you share. I hope to follow in your footsteps within the next decade. Thanks!

I would look into the kratky method of hydroponic gardening. No pumps. No soil.

Hi Dan any issues in your years sailing that vessel without a protected rudder?

Your videos are great and I really enjoy them. I would love this lifestyle but would definitely prefer a catamaran because of sea sickness (and extra room). Considering doing this at retirement in a few years. (would love for you to do a video about which affordable catamaran you would consider switching to if given the opportunity or recommendation to others for cat people)

Your videos are super inspiring bro. I'm 24 and I hate working jobs; but I figured out after returning to college that I'm better in academia than I am in the workforce. So I'm considering a nomad / remote career option. Do you have any recommendations? Have you met any sailors with interesting careers that you can refer me to? I'd appreciate it man. Fair winds.

1894? That's a well aged beneteau!

Almost ready to make an offer for a scanmar40. And yes I’m a first timer

Can that go from the US to UK? If so, how rough (or easy) would the trip be?

If Dan doesn't make you want to get out there I don't know who will.

I can't fucking wait

wow, Richard Hammond used to be a wild sailor when he was young...

congratulation ! lot's to like and rejoice ! There are 2 dynamics in your and other cruiser lifestyles ,that are sorrowful : 1. environment pollution : lot's of the products used by cruisers are highly toxic ,especially DIY marinas are producing so many toxic substances ,consequently washed into the sea ,without proper management for trash and substances used ,for instance antifouling . cruisers want to live in environment beauty ,but they still have not organized themselves to protect environment as much as possible . it is an easy discipline ,to refrain from using plastic bags in grocery shopping ,only buying what fits in ones own bags ,but one can see again and again ,cruisers using plastic bags and dumping plastic trash ,even in places ,where it is highly unlikely ,that proper trash management is observed . new 'plastic boats 'are build and bought continuously ,but there is still no end solution for this material and it seems ,that even 'plastic' boat owners do not care . so much more could and should be actively researched and done . for instance cruisers organizing themselves ,to research and activate better trash policies for coastal and island regions and marinas ,instead of just dumping more trash there . 2 . killing sentient beings is a serious matter, but cruisers depict in their videos and photos only joy ,when catching aquatic animals for their food and hunting enjoyment . this can and should be changed ,by inserting a respectful recognition of the life taken and the seriousness of the act .

I would like to sell everything and buy a boat now, live like you live. But being poor, i have to wait a bit ;)

How old were you when you got your boat?

YOU! r da man

I wonder if I could use any of my VA benefits to get something like this going

What model you got

Loved mine at first, but then i got really lonely. I asked a bunch of creators and random people to meet up, or join me on my 32' Oday Center Cockpit with a Captains Cabin. I don't have a family, so i was hoping that id find one in sailing places. Because i don't have a YT channel, i basically found nothing in a full year aboard. I don't like solo sailing, so im selling my boat in Marathon, FL Keys soon. If anyone wants to buy it. Reach out with an email addy and ill send information.

"... on my beautiful 1894 Beneteau Idylle 38' monohull sailboat ..." OLD BOAT!, Dan 😂😂😂😂😍😍

W vid.

I'd like to see you go to the ABC islands and then around South America and then across the southern route of the Pacific with girls.

killing innocent sea life like that is cold

I bet all the diesel & all those repairs on an old boat didn't cost a dime either, haha. Not to mention the Solar, Lithium, other electronics, etc.

She doesn’t wash the dishes 😁

That Idyll 11.5 will get you killed, I had one.also is definitely not a fast sailboat.good 15 winds and less 6.5 kt boat,that’s as fast as it will go.Watchers never buy this design unless you are a coastal sailor.4.5 foot draft and a less then 5000 pound iron keel…ballast 20 kts winds and your going to be afraid 😵‍💫All that saying how great your boat is has nothing to do with a Beneteau Idylle 11.5

My question are you alone or do u have a partner because having a sail boat or a yacht that you on water 365 days a yr Others don't like this life style as you can see my name I in as others say hardest place lifestyle to live, yea I was a skipper of large crabbing vessels were I met my wife 60 yrs ago. So some days my life was on water. And to move from Nome Alaska were she was from to Barron Alaska. And to raise 6 children off grid and we own a sail boat 1950 Matthews sedan Cruiser her name name (Havets of Seas ) : Means Beauty of Seas. She my 2 eldest son own now. But we travel a lot My family some love. But. Others not So you 365 days into. Yes cost of owner is high with refits is it harder for you to have a mat why I ask I seen a women with you. A bit. Did romance happen or do you just live life alone. ?

Man you talk a lot.

Have you done a video on boat insurance? I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts and solutions.
