Ep 56 | The Cost of Cruising
January 06, 2022 by Sailing Fair Isle | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:15 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
The questions we most often get asked are “What’s it like to live on a boat and cruise the world ?” and “How much does it cost?”
These are difficult questions which is why we’ve avoided them for three years! But the time has come.
In this video we go through our whole experience so far. Five years of living on a boat and three years of cruising. We try and give some insight into the life and the costs.
The reason we tried to sidestep this video until now is because there are plenty of other videos out there on the cost of sailing. However, it has been pointed out to us that just about all of them are people in their 20s and 30s, most trying to do this on an absolute minimum budget. As we know, YouTubers aside, the vast majority of cruisers out there on the water are in their 50s and 60s so this one’s for you guys.
I know there will be a million questions so fire ahead in the comments. I’ll anticipate one and answer no, I have no idea how much I spend on beer!

Sailing Fair Isle
We have sold our house in the UK and moved aboard our boat. She is a classic cutter rigged 48 foot Hans Christian; a very strong blue water boat more than capable of sailing around the world. Just hope we are! We are professional documentary filmmakers working for the BBC and many other TV stations around the world. Broadcasters aren't interested in commissioning sailing programs these days so we are launching our channel online. Sailing Fair Isle is aiming to be more than just a vlog showing our travels. It will be a travel log, but also a documentary style show with proper content and broadcast technical standards. That's the plan anyway. Lets see how it goes.
