Welcome Aboard!
Welcome to Spoondrifters, where the journey to sailboat living is made simple! As a family of adventurers who transitioned from RV living to a sailboat, we understand the challenges and excitement of embracing a nautical lifestyle on a tight budget.
Discover the nitty-gritty details of boat living with us – a mom and dreamer, with my handy husband Todd. To achieve our dream of setting sail to explore the world we purchased a hurricane-damaged sailboat and did a complete refit all by ourselves.
Our mission is to make your journey into sailboat living smoother by sharing comprehensive resources and firsthand experiences. Our YouTube channel chronicles our odyssey, sharing insights from the boat refit to the nuances of living aboard, whether in a marina or anchored at sea. Our mentor program will help you buy, refit, and maintain an older sailboat.
Are you ready to embark on your own maritime adventure? Explore our videos, programs, guides, and podcasts, designed to lead you through the intricacies of owning and living on an older sailboat. From choosing and evaluating the right sailboat and making repairs, to deciding what systems to upgrade, how to do it, and keeping everything running smoothly, we've got you covered. Join us and let the water become your home!
Are You ready to Do this?
Do you want to go sailing but aren’t exactly sure how to get started? Are you on a tight budget and worried there isn’t a way to live this lifestyle and stay within it?
We get it! We started with no sailing experience… We had nothing but a dream, a tight budget, and determination.
We figured it out and You Can Too!
We can help with deciding on the right boat to buy, your refit and upgrade questions, how to downsize your life to fit on your boat and move aboard, and how to keep her systems running smoothly.
