In this video, we’re breaking down everything we've spent so far—all the upgrades, safety gear, sails, and liveaboard essentials we’ve added to make her offshore-ready.
We’ve had so many questions about the cost of sailing, so we decided to lay it all out—honestly and transparently. Whether you're dreaming of setting sail yourself or just curious what it takes to turn a boat into a floating home, we hope this gives you a clear idea of what goes into the adventure.

*About Us*
We are Becka and Zach, a couple who, in 2020, dreamt of sailing off into the big blue. Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn't have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane.
However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on.
We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit
