What Life Is Like With A FAMILY OF SIX OFF GRID On A Sailboat
What Life Is Like With A Family Of Six Off Grid On A Sailboat | Sailing with Six
Ever wondered how a family of six survives—and thrives—off-grid on a sailboat? In this episode, we share exactly how we live off the grid on our catamaran with kids: how we power our lives with solar and lithium batteries, make fresh water from the sea, cook, clean, stay cool, and stay connected—completely self-sufficient on the ocean.
We’ll walk you through:
🌞 Our off-grid power setup featuring Battle Born Batteries
🚿 Watermaking and fresh water storage with our Osmosea system
🍳 Propane cooking, Thermomix magic & small-space meal prep
🛏️ Daily life in tight quarters (with six people!)
🌐 Starlink internet and remote work/school
⚡ Why lithium power is a total game-changer for life on the water
