We are Greta and Michael and have been living on our sailboat ForTuna since April 2019. We travel the Mediterranean Sea and soon the Caribbean to raise awareness about ocean pollution. We share our travel and sailing adventures with our community of sustainable travellers. We would love to collaborate with Brands or Influencers who share our believes in sustainability and eco-friendly travels. So far we have worked with NorthSails, Beneteau, Albfilters.

Happy 4th of July 🥳 Honestly it’s a holiday we do not celebrate, understandably Italy like every country has their own national holidays, 🗺 but today made us realize that only a year ago we were not sitting in our hometown in Italy, but joining the celebrations in the US. 🇺🇸 So I went down memory lane to see where we have been spending 4th of July the last 6 years and I am kind of proud to say that we spend it in 5 different countries. ☺️ 2018 - Finland: Michael got his sailing license (pic2) 2019 - first land break from ForTuna (pic 3) 2020 - Olbia Italy for our last Med season (pic 1) 2021 - Crossing from Dominica to Curacao (pic 4) 2022 - Ile Pigeon, Guadeloupe one of our fav places in the Antilles (pic5) 2023 - Wrightsville beach high on sugary American treats (pic6)
our heart and support goes to all sailors who have chosen Grenada and SVG as their hurricane season destination 🫣🌀 we keep our fingers crossed that you all made it to a safer destination or are properly hunkered down 💪 #sailing #sailboat #sailinglife
5 years into Boatlife and this is still the one thing I hope for whenever we set sail ⛵️🐬😍 #boatlife #sailing #sailinglife #sailboat #sailboatlife #liveaboard #dolphins🐬 #sailboatlove #sailingadventure #sailingtrip
„How do you afford to live on a sailboat?“ is the question we get asked the most, so let’s dive into the topic. 1. 💰Budget, Bugdet, Bugdet. Before you can understand how to afford it, you need to understand how much you need. Is it 2K a month or 20K? And before you ask us, yes you can find the answer to this question on our website. 2. 🗓️ Decide if it will be a short-term boatlife or if are you in it for good? In the first case it might make sense to save up the amount needed and enjoy the ride. In the second case please go to step 3. 3. 👩💻 Set up remote income streams. Why remote? well for us boatlife means travelling the world so you need remote income streams. If you intend to keep your boat in the same spot you probably can just go on with the job you currenlty have. Michael and I have set up 3 different income streams: 1. WhenSailing 2. Industrial Engineering Consultancy 3. Day Trading We deep dive into all 3 and many more income streams in our Digital Sea Nomad Bundle which you can find on our website. Drop „income“ into the comments and we send you the link. #sailing #boatlife #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlifestyle #sailboatlife #sailinglife #sailinginstagram #sailboat #sailboats

After spending 3 hurricanes season on the boat we decided this year to take a different approach and fly back to Italy ✈️ might be because we are getting married this year 😋💒 Here is how we prepared the boat to keep mold away and the boat in best conditions ⛵️ - took down the sails and stored them - vacuum sealed our clothing - ate all the food on board (or stored it vacuum sealed) - cleaned the whole boat with soap and vinegar - hauled out ForTuna - used hot days to dry everything as good as possible (especially if stored below deck) - installed a cover to keep sun and rain at bay - flipped cushions to allow air flow - installed a dehumidifier - cleaned the fridge What do you think did we forger anything?
Last preparation 🛠️ before we store our sailboat ForTuna for hurricane season ⛵️ the changing weather made everything a bit more tricky but we are almost done 💪 #sailboat #sailing #sailboatlife #sailinglife #boatlife⚓️ #sailboats #boatwork #boatstorage

A sailing license, but in specific sailing experience is very important of you want to be living on a sailboat.

Many of you have been asking us how to get sailing experience so here our best ideas so far: * go sailing with friends who already have sailing licenses Once you defined which kind of sailboat you would like to buy and have found suitable options these are the following steps which await you Take it our for a sailing trail if possiblelift our the boat and make a professional surveyReneogatioate the price if anything was detected during the surveybuy your sailboat and new home We will write a second blog post which will go more into detail about sailboat buying, what you should look for when visiting the sailboat and what you can use to negotiate the price.
Getting the cables through the mast is quite a tricky thing but we found a way at the end to pull trough three new cables For now we decided to use our Radar only via WiFi and not install the data cable. Also we go on our second freediving session and explore the crystal clear waters of Cyprus. Why not subscribe to our channel so you wont miss the next episodes released twice a week?
