We Have a €20,000 Problem! Buying A Brand New Catamaran
When we set out to buy our dream catamaran, we knew we wanted to be completely self-sufficient with no reliance on marinas, no noisy generators, just clean, renewable energy from the sun. But when we got professional quotes to install a solar and battery setup, we were shocked—over €20,000 just to install solar panels and batteries! 😱
And at that price, we felt like we were getting ripped off! So, instead of giving up, we decided to take matters into our own hands.
In this video, we dive into one of the biggest and most expensive challenges we’ve faced on our journey to living aboard, but we’re determined to make it happen! 💪
