BoatFools Sailing

Ahoy! With a reputation for being slightly dangerous enablers of dreams, this is BootFools. If you wander into our waters, we have a suspicious feeling you may be a BoatFool too. Through inspirational, educational, and often hilariously entertaining storytelling and boat tours we journey into the world of exceptional used sailboats. By offering real intel on classic, wood, and fiberglass boats - that are actually worth your time, money and imagination - we inspire people to get out onto the water and behind the helm of their own sailing vessel. This community is made up of real boats, real people, and life-changing fun. It's the place that will remind you why you fell in love with sailing in the first place. 🚨New episodes weekly. Subscribe to get on board and join the adventure, one boat at a time. (And join our Substack community for even more useful tidbits and general Boatfoolery.)
