Sailing with Sailing Zatara.
We meet YouTube’s biggest sailing family channel, ‘@SailingZatara ’.
Sailing across the path of Sailing Zatara
With teenage children and similar interests, the two families were able to bond, within minutes we were sharing gifts, booking dinner dates, hanging out at the beach, kite surfing, wakeboarding, arm wrestling, free diving and of course doing the noni challenge.
And while all that was going on love was quietly blossoming between our very own expendable middle child, Declan and the lovely young Paris.

Who are we?
In 1997, after a disastrous Olympic rowing campaign, Rob decided to row a seven-metre plywood boat, 2500 miles from Tenerife in the Canary Islands to Barbados in the Caribbean. It took 6 weeks and he and his rowing partner, Phil Stubbs, won the inaugural Atlantic Rowing Race.
Skip forward to 2014, we invested in Javelot a 43 ft Fountaine Pajot catamaran. Armed only with Robert’s 3 years of racing P class yachts from the age of 11 to 13, and Rachel’s non existent sailing knowledge, we set off to learn the ropes of ocean sailing. We broke stuff, replaced stuff and got to know our boat before heading offshore with our three children, Finn 17, Declan 15 and Ivan 12, in tow.
Through trial and error, we have become confident wayfarers, kind of.
Our plan? To sail around the world, meet the locals and record our adventures. Part of the journey will be retracing Rob’s eldest brother Kerry’s travels at sea. Using Kerry’s original letters from the 1970’s we will re trace his movements from Australia through Indonesia and South East Asia to Cambodia where Kerry’s life was cut short after straying into Cambodian waters in 1978. Kerry and two friends were attacked by a Khmer Rouge gun boat, captured, tortured and executed.

Our sailing videos are almost at the fringe of the cutting edge of informative travel entertainment confirming life is far too important to take seriously. We are a New Zealand liveaboard family of five: Rob (50+), Rachel (21-ish), Finn (19), Declan (17), Ivan (14) circumnavigating nomadically by sail boat learning from nature, new cultures and life experience. We hope to inspire others to explore different ways to live and educate while having a truckload of fun along the way.
