Documenting the sailing adventures, restoration endeavours, and life changing moments in the lives of Maya and Aladino. We aim to tell beautiful stories about worthwhile adventures.
The main story: Maya and Aladino fell in love, finished restoring Magic Carpet, and are now sailing on her and documenting the journey.
Maya's back story: Before Maya met Aladino, she owned a sailboat in Canada which she got for $1. We have a mini series on this channel all about that.
Aladino's back story: Before Aladino met Maya, he bought a shipwreck that had fallen 20 feet off a crane onto concrete. He then fixed that boat up, and it is now Magic Carpet. We have a mini series on this channel about what Aladino learned during that restoration.

Meet Maya, Aladino, and Magic Carpet. We all ended up together because of 1) a tragic accident, 2) an amazing miracle, and 3) an inspirational mentor. Here's how it all began.
Aladino and I met in summer 2017. He was sailing his boat in the Mediterranean...
In the last episode, we introduced ourselves and our boat. Now we'll show you a little bit more about what it takes to rebuild a shipwreck. Although Magic Carpet was once destined for the scrapyard, she's now almost ready to be launched back onto the water...
After four years in the boatyard following her tragic accident, Magic Carpet sets sail once again! Now that she can float, we transported her to Basel, Switzerland, where we will start the long canal journey through France out to the Mediterranean.
I did...
In this episode: Basel, Switzerland to Montbeliard, France.
This was the bucket list item I never knew I had: Cruising through the inland waterways of France on a gorgeous sailboat. We navigate locks, rivers, and narrow canals –– all on board our be...
In perhaps the most exciting episode to date we:
• Get woken up by a hot air balloon
• Cruise under a castle
• Cruise through a love tunnel
• Weather a storm
• Avoid a dangerous collision
• Celebrate France's world cup win in a tiny village in...
In this episode, we finally arrive at the Mediterranean Sea! The final stretch of the Rhone river didn't present too many exciting scenes, however our first night on the coast of France was definitely something to remember.
Now that we're in the Mediterr...
This is a small crossing compared to an ocean crossing that takes weeks on end. Crossing from the French Coast to Sardinia with a sailboat only takes about 40 hours. However it was filled with beautiful moments, with dolphins and full moons, with sunsets a...
Here's some insight into what it's like to island hop on a sailboat. Note that this video isn't about large ocean crossings –– here we just talk about cruising between islands, and things to consider like repair kits, water storage, and some of the be...
Santo Stefano in the Mediterranean is what we will now call the "Island of Abandoned Things." To be fair, apparently on the other side of the island is a resort, but I checked the trip advisor reviews and they don't look great, so perhaps that'll be abando...
THANK YOU to all of our new subscribers. I really can't believe how the channel has just taken off. Our first 7 or 8 episodes had almost no views... and now we are getting 200+ subscribers overnight! Yahoo, I'm riding on cloud 9 :)
I hope you enjoy this ...
Welcome to another episode of Sailing Magic Carpet. In this episode, we prepare to cross to Menorca, a distance of 200 nautical miles, which takes about 50 hours in our boat. We show you a little bit about anchoring and passage planning as well.
Plus, th...
In this episode, we get a bit seasick! It's gotta happen to every sailor, right? Ah well, the crossing nonetheless went well. No mishaps, just a bit of waves which threw our stomachs off balance.
We crossed from Sardinia to Menorca, a distance of about 2...
In this video, we tell you our story. Why were we drawn to sailing? How did we pull it off? What's next?
Pursuing a dream requires a lot of sacrifices –– neither of us have "normal" lives. We wanted to show you what our life looks like, how we got h...
We are OVERWHELMED, AMAZED, GRATEFUL, HUMBLED... insert any other synonym here!
Here's a song I wrote for our new patreons as a way of saying THANK YOU. I feel like I've been riding on a little cloud for the past two days. Knowing that people not only li...
I am BURSTING with happiness. Music and boats (and Aladino) are my greatest loves. The boat side of me is well taken care of, but the music side has felt a bit neglected. Yes, I play by myself on the boat... but the violin is a lonely instrument. It needs ...
In this episode, we explore a little bit more of Mahon, the huge natural harbour of Minorca. We see an impressive catamaran, explore a fortress, and see some truly incredible classic boats at the annual classic boat show in Mahon. Plus, I have a bit of fun...
Living on a boat is a pretty beautiful way of life. Aladino and I consider ourselves quite lucky. We thought we'd show you a full day of our alternative nomadic lifestyle, from dawn to dusk. Plus, I did a little interior boat tour so you can get an idea of...
Magic Carpet, our Vindo 32, was a total write off when Aladino bought her. But after four years of intense restoration, she is now our floating home. From shipwreck to ship, this is the beginning of a mini-series documenting the restoration process.
To s...
I LOVE Minorca. So far, it's my favourite spot in the Mediterranean. Little paradise bays, wild olive trees, sunbaked dirt, azure blue water... what else could you want?!
