DEAL or DISASTER: YachtWorld's Wildest Listings | Sailing Truth Show
📕 GET THE BOOK: Be The Captain. Winner of the 2026 Eric Hoffer Award. 25 years of offshore decisions in one book → https://bethecaptain.com
🔓 FREE: The Captain's Locker. Printable watch schedules, pre-departure checklists, delivery tools → https://bethecaptain.com/locker
Every week the brokerage sites are full of boats wearing a price tag that has nothing to do with reality. Some are genuine deals hiding in plain sight. Some are floating money pits with a fresh coat of wax and a broker who knows exactly what he's not telling you.
Tonight I pull up real YachtWorld listings, live, and we judge them together: DEAL or DISASTER. I'll read the listing the way a surveyor reads it, walk the photos for what they're NOT showing you, name what the survey is going to find, and give you my real number versus the ask. You bring your own listings in the chat and I'll judge those too.
This isn't about trashing anyone's boat. It's about the price, the story, and learning to see what's really there before you wire the money.
🎁 LIVE BOOK GIVEAWAY every 30 minutes. Be here, be in the chat, win a signed copy.
💬 DROP A LISTING: paste a YachtWorld or boats.com link in the chat and I'll work it live.

New Orleans to Costa Rica: What to Watch For
A passage from New Orleans toward Costa Rica comes with more to consider than distance.

Most People Miss these Awesome Islands
Costa Rica’s Islas Murciélagos offered hiking, breaching whales, and a memorable stop away from the usual anchorages. Most sailors pass these islands by, and without a little anchor symbol on the chart, it takes some exploring to discover what they’re missing. Full Stream: 📗 Get My Book:

The encounter shows why the strength of the rudder’s bearings and supports matters when the steering takes a hit. Fu...
My Catamaran Broke Apart 100 Miles From Hawaii
About 100 miles off Kona, pounding waves broke my catamaran’s rear main beam, leaving the starboard hull hanging from the deck. Keeping the boat together meant repeated trips into the black water beneath it, using rope and winches to lash a broken home back together. Full Catamaran Video: Excerpt...
The Ghost Ship That Carried Its Own Evidence
Joyita departed for Tokelau on one engine with 25 people aboard, expecting a passage of roughly two days. None of those 25 people were ever seen again. The boat was later recovered after drifting hundreds of miles, carrying clues to what happened on that final voyage. Full Video: 📗 Get My Book:
