After a 15-hour flight halfway around the world, I finally arrive in French Polynesia — and it was worth every second. I charter a 40-foot Leopard catamaran and set off on an unforgettable 9-day sailing adventure through some of the most beautiful islands on Earth. Crystal-clear lagoons, dramatic volcanic peaks, perfect sailing conditions, and that unreal South Pacific water you have to see to believe. Of course, I didn’t come alone. Meet Chloe, our newest crew member, who looks right at home sailing the tropics — whether she’s trimming sails or relaxing on deck in a bikini. If you’ve ever dreamed about sailing French Polynesia, chartering a catamaran, or escaping to paradise, this one’s for you.

Today we wrap up an incredible week of sailing in the British Virgin Islands! ⛵🌴 We lifted anchor at Jost Van Dyke one last time and set a course toward Tortola’s beautiful West End. Soper’s Hole is one of the most colorful spots in the BVI, so we stopped in for lunch at the iconic Pusser’s Rum Bar and enjoyed the views before the bittersweet part of the trip… returning the boat to Road Town. After an unforgettable charter aboard this beautiful catamaran, we spent one final night on board, soaking up the last bit of island life before heading out the next morning. This has been an amazing adventure sailing through the BVI — great crew, great sailing, gorgeous water, and lifelong memories. But don’t worry… the journey continues.

Today we sail into one of the most iconic places in the entire BVI — White Bay on Jost Van Dyke, home of the world-famous Soggy Dollar Bar! It was a perfect beach day with the crew (even though I didn’t film a ton… we were having too much fun 😅). After soaking up the sun in White Bay, we moved the boat around to Great Harbour and grabbed a mooring right in front of the legendary Foxy’s Yot Klub. The party did not disappoint — great music, great vibes, and we danced late into the night. 🍹🌴 But the BIG news in this video… 👉 I am inviting one adventurous couple to join me aboard my brand-new yacht in Thailand from February through June! You’ll sail with me, learn how to handle a yacht, learn how to film and vlog, travel Southeast Asia, and be part of the Sailing Doodles show.

Today we had an absolutely perfect four-hour downwind sail from Anegada to Jost Van Dyke here in the beautiful British Virgin Islands. Conditions couldn’t have been better — blue water, steady breeze, and a happy crew enjoying every mile. Once we arrived at Jost Van Dyke, we headed straight for the famous Bubbly Pool, one of the coolest natural features in the BVI. It’s always fun watching the surge roll in and turn the whole spot into a natural jacuzzi! After exploring, we set sail again for a short hop over to Cane Garden Bay on Tortola. It’s one of my favorite anchorages in the islands — great beach, great food, and great company. We grabbed dinner, relaxed on the sand, and of course the ladies looked fantastic enjoying the sunshine and crystal-clear water. Thanks for joining us on another sailing adventure!

Today we set sail from Virgin Gorda to the unique and beautiful island of Anegada — and it ended up being one of our fastest and most fun sails of the entire BVI trip. With perfect wind, flat seas, and the crew looking amazing on the bow, we made the crossing in record time. Anegada is totally different from the rest of the Virgin Islands. Instead of mountains, it’s flat, sandy, and surrounded by shallow turquoise water. After picking up a mooring, we rented Mokes and motorcycles and explored every corner of the island before ending up at Cow Wreck Beach for a perfect beach day. The water was stunning, the vibes were relaxed, and (as always) the ladies looked fantastic in their bikinis. Back on the boat, we caught an epic sunset over the horizon before heading ashore to Potter’s by the Sea for one of their famous Anegada lobster dinners. If you’ve ever been here, you know it’s a must-do! Thanks for watching and following along on this BVI adventure!

Start your day at Cooper Island, sail to one of the most iconic spots in the entire Caribbean, and wrap things up with a night you won’t forget. This was one of those PERFECT days in the BVI. We left Cooper Island early and made the short sail over to The Baths on Virgin Gorda, easily one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Crystal-clear aqua water, massive granite boulders, and the famous boulder-hike trail made for an incredible morning. The ladies rocked their tiny bikinis and we explored the caves, tunnels, and pools for a couple of hours. From there, we hoisted the sails and cruised north to Gorda Sound, stopping at the legendary Bitter End Yacht Club for lunch. After soaking up the views, we wrapped the day with dinner at Saba Rock, one of the coolest little island resorts in the BVI. And… let’s just say the day ended with a little skinny dipping under the stars. An unforgettable night in paradise. Book with Sailogy! Use Code "DOODLES100" for $115 off your booking.

Day 2 sailing through the British Virgin Islands and it was absolutely perfect. This morning we left Norman Island and sailed over to The Indians, one of the most breathtaking snorkel sites in the entire BVI. The water was crystal clear, the coral was vibrant, and the ladies looked amazing exploring the reef and swimming with schools of tropical fish. After snorkeling, we raised the sails and the boat took off — hitting 9 knots on a gorgeous beam reach up to Cooper Island. Once we picked up a mooring ball, we headed ashore to the famous Rum Bar, grabbed a few drinks, and then met up with some of our Sailing Doodles viewers for a fun evening and a great dinner on the island. This is what sailing in the BVI is all about — adventure, clear water, good wind, and good people.

I’m sailing the boat down the East Coast for the final time before hauling her out of the water and storing her on land while the Nauti Dogs prize competition finishes up! In this episode I make the run from Atlantic City to Cape May, then across the Delaware Bay and up the Chesapeake to Annapolis, and finally into Solomons, Maryland, where I haul the boat out of the water for storage. It’s a beautiful stretch of coastline with changing conditions, busy shipping lanes, calm anchorages, and some great solo sailing moments with the dogs. If you’ve been following along on this adventure, this is one of the last sails on this classic CT-56 before someone new gets the keys. 👉 Enter the Nauti Dogs Prize Competition here: https://raffall.com/398138/enter-raffle-to-win-sailing-doodles-sailboat-hosted-by-sailing-doodles 👉 Subscribe for the next sail on the new cat!

Docked right in the heart of Manhattan at the iconic Chelsea Piers Marina, I got to experience New York City like never before — from the deck of my sailboat! I launched the dinghy and cruised down the Hudson River, exploring the skyline and even making it out to the Statue of Liberty for a once-in-a-lifetime view from the water. Then, before sunrise, I set sail solo southbound toward Atlantic City, watching the city lights fade behind me as I headed out to sea. It was a long and beautiful passage — and an unforgettable arrival after dark. 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and follow along as I continue my solo journey down the East Coast! #SailingDoodles #NYC #StatueOfLiberty #SoloSailing #ChelseaPiers #AtlanticCity This channel is funded by viewers like you.

I sailed Nauti Dogs from Long Island Sound down the East River, under some of the most iconic bridges in the world, and right past the Manhattan skyline. From there, I rounded the southern tip of the island, cruised up the Hudson River, and docked right in the heart of New York City at Chelsea Piers. It’s pretty surreal to tie up your sailboat in one of the busiest cities on earth — surrounded by skyscrapers, ferries, and traffic — yet still fall asleep to the sound of water lapping against the hull. I spent a week living aboard in Manhattan, exploring the city by day and returning “home” to my boat each night.

After leaving Newport, Rhode Island, I set sail solo—just me and the dogs—toward Block Island. It’s one of the most beautiful spots on the East Coast, but when the weather turned, it became a wild few days riding out a storm at anchor. Once the skies cleared, it was time to start the long journey south for the winter. I sailed 75 miles solo to Port Jefferson, Long Island, navigating rough seas, strong winds, and long hours at the helm. Come aboard Nauti Dogs as I share what it’s really like living the sailing life—solo sailing challenges, beautiful anchorages, and those unforgettable moments when the storm finally passes. 👉 Enter the contest here: https://raffall.com/398138/enter-raffle-to-win-sailing-doodles-sailboat-hosted-by-sailing-doodles 🛥 What You’ll Get A fully outfitted, ocean-ready bluewater cruising yacht Proven history of adventures across the Caribbean & beyond The ultimate ticket to freedom and sailing the world 🌍 I will spend a week sailing with you! ⏰ Don’t Miss Out Entries close on January 31, 2026, and the drawing will be held shortly after.

The Annapolis Boat Show is over, but the real work begins! At sunrise, I head back to the docks to help with the massive teardown — floating docks are being dismantled, crews are casting off lines, and nearly 100 boats start departing in a well-orchestrated bit of organized chaos. I’m helping move the Island Spirit 525e hull #3, the same model as my new catamaran (hull #5) that I’ll be getting in January. It’s a great behind-the-scenes look at what happens after the crowds go home. Meanwhile, Laura is back on board with her two boys — but with the move running longer than expected, I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye in person. She recorded a touching farewell message that I’ve included at the end of the video. ⛵️ Don’t miss the organized chaos, the teamwork, and a glimpse into what it takes to wrap up the world’s biggest in-water sailboat show! 📍 Filmed at the Annapolis Boat Show 🚤 Boat featured: Island Spirit 525e (Hull #3) 💬 Leave a comment — have you ever seen a boat show teardown like this?

Laura — one of the original Sailing Doodles crew and a fan favorite — joins me in Annapolis for a special reunion! This time, she’s brought her two kids along for the adventure. We head to the Annapolis Boat Show, where I show her the brand-new Island Spirit 525 Catamaran — the very model I’ll be getting soon. Her reaction says it all… she absolutely loved it! In this episode, I also take you on a deeper dive into the systems of this innovative electric-hybrid catamaran — from power management and design details to why I chose this specific build for the next chapter of Sailing Doodles.

We set sail from Port Washington to Huntington Bay, Long Island — a beautiful day on the water with two amazing crew members. But after the trip, they asked not to appear in the video… so I had to blur them out. It turned into one of the most challenging edits I’ve ever done — and a strangely fitting “ghost crew” story. Join me as we sail through calm seas, explore a new anchorage, and share what it’s like behind the scenes when things don’t go exactly as planned. 📍 Route: Port Washington → Huntington Bay ⛵ Boat: SV Nauti Dogs 🎬 Editing challenge: Over 100 motion-tracked blurs! Watch till the end — you’ll see why I called it The Ghost Crew. #SailingDoodles #LongIslandSailing #BoatLife #GhostCrew Enter the contest here: https://raffall.com/398138/enter-raffle-to-win-sailing-doodles-sailboat-hosted-by-sailing-doodles Email me about the flotilla: bobby@sailingdoodles.com get tickets for the Annapolis Show: https://annapolisboatshows.ticketspice.com/annapolis-sailboat-show?t=SailingDoodles Make an appointment to see the Island Spirit 525e.
