Spring Break Florida: Sailboat Shopping
We Flew to Florida to Test Sail Our DREAM CATAMARAN
We left at 3AM with tired eyes but big dreams. After a quick stop in Denver (and Kami stuck next to two wild boys), we landed in sunny Fort Lauderdale ready for adventure! Checked into the Embassy Suites, cruised around town, and the next morning… we got to SEA TRIAL the brand new 2025 Leopard 46 Catamaran — and yes, it was perfect.
Silent electric engines. Sails up. Smooth glide. The kids were OBSESSED.
But that was just the beginning…
We toured the Leopard 45 (hard pass) and then stepped aboard the massive Leopard 50 — it blew us away with space but our hearts still leaned 46. Then came the big surprise: a sneak peek at the 2025 Lagoon 51 — our literal dream boat — and guess what? Prices are dropping. Could it be the one?!
Plus, we hit up the Florida Boat Show, met some of YOU (our amazing Insta fam!), relived Season One of Sailing Banana Pancakes, cracked open our long-forgotten storage pod (nothing was ruined!), and wrapped it all up with some wild Spring Break beach vibes with our boys.
This trip might’ve changed everything…
Will we finally buy our next boat? Watch to find out.

Sailing Banana Pancakes
This is the REAL & RAW reality of living on a sailboat off-grid! Episodes come out every Saturday! Steve & Kami had a dream to buy a sailboat and travel the world when we retired. We spent 15 years working multiple jobs, living BELOW our means, saving every penny we could and investing in real-estate. Well the year of Covid hit and we thought, what the hell let's freaking go, kids and all! The first thing Steve said when he walked onto our boat "It smells like freedom!" We completed our first year of sailing, sold our sailboat Banana Pancakes, in hopes of purchasing a newer one. We didn't find the right boat so we headed back to Idaho. It's been 2 years since then and we are once again ready to go, this time for at least 5 years. We are currently boat shopping and plan on setting sail soon for Seson 2 of Banana Pancakes. So smash that SUBSCRIBE button & let's go!
