We sold everything, bought a catamaran, and began the sailing lifestyle full-time in 2025. What followed was the adventure of a lifetime... but also one of the hardest years we've ever experienced.
In this video, we're getting brutally honest about the reality of sailing and catamaran life: the maintenance that never ends, the sleepless nights at anchor, the water and power rationing, the weather that dictates your life, and the way living aboard tests a relationship like nothing else.
If you've ever dreamed of buying a boat and sailing off into the sunset, watch this before you do. This isn't your typical sailing Instagram reel, it's the unfiltered version of what it actually takes to live on a boat full-time.

Hey! We’re Ruth and Andrew 👋🏼
After years of dreaming, we left our family, friends and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, behind as we set off to chase our shared dream of sailing the world. Last year, we bought our 11m catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home as we live, work, sail and adventure full time across the Mediterranean.
Subscribe and follow our liveaboard sailing adventure as we explore the world by boat and share what life on a yacht is really like.
