GET YOURS BELOW! https://sailingsole.printful.me/ Subscribe here ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/@sailingsole Ever wondered how people walk away from the Long Beach Boat Auction with sailboats for a fraction of their market value? In this video, I take you behind the scenes of the Long Beach Marine Bureau Boat Auction and show you exactly how it works—from inspection to bidding to what happens after you win. This is a true insider’s guide based on real experience, not theory. I break down what boats actually show up, how to inspect them in under an hour, common mistakes that cost buyers thousands, and how to avoid turning a “cheap boat” into an expensive regret. ⛵ What You’ll Learn in This Video: What the Long Beach Boat Auction really is (and when it happens) The types of boats you can expect to find (SUPs, kayaks, sailboats, cruisers & more) • How to inspect auction boats quickly and effectively • The biggest mistakes first-time buyers make • Smart bidding strategies to avoid auction fever • Hidden costs like tax liens, transport, and repairs • What paperwork you must get before bidding • Why auction boats can’t return to Long Beach marinas for 6 months • Whether buying a boat at auction is actually worth it ⚠️ Important Notes: Boats are sold AS-IS, with no guarantees. Some are diamonds in the rough… others are money pits. The difference comes down to preparation, inspection, and discipline—which is exactly what this video is designed to help with. If you’re: On a tight budget Handy with tools Willing to learn Looking for a project boat or first sailboat 👉 This auction can be a great opportunity—if you do it right. 📍 Auction Details (Example Covered in Video): Location: Alamitos Bay Marina, Long Beach, CA Viewing: 8:00 AM Bidding: 9:00 AM Payment: Cash, credit card, or cashier’s check 🔔 What’s Coming Next: In an upcoming video, I’ll do a deep dive on how to survey a used sailboat yourself, whether you’re buying at auction or privately—so make sure you’re subscribed.

In this video, I’m walking through a selection of boats that could potentially appear in the upcoming 2026 auction. That said, I have no way of knowing which boats will actually make it into the auction since I’m not connected to the marinas or the auction process in any way—I’m just documenting what I see for fun 🙂 All of the boats featured in this video are currently impounded within the Long Beach Municipal Marinas. These impounded vessels are where auction boats typically originate, but the impound process has multiple stages. Because of that, there’s no guarantee which boats will end up being auctioned and which ones won’t. It’s just interesting to check them out and see what might come up for auction. If you like these boat auction videos where I help you spot insanely affordable boats, please consider subscribing. It’s a completely free way to support the channel and helps me keep making these videos.

Whether you’re sailing or road-tripping, off-grid power is everything. LiTime sent me a lithium battery and inverter to test — and since I already upgraded my sailboat, I installed this new system in my RV to compare performance on land vs. sea. In this video, I walk through the full lithium battery install, inverter wiring, solar integration, and how this setup can work for boats, vans, or RVs. If you enjoy off-grid systems, this applies to ALL adventure vehicles. What I cover: • LiTime lithium battery install • Inverter wiring & safety tips • RV vs. sailboat electrical systems • Solar, fridge, and real-world power draw • Is this system reliable enough for marine use?

If you're wondering about the stupid copyright notices it's because my video footage has started to be used more and more in other channels videos. They are not asking to use my footage, they are just using it in their seemingly AI generated videos and claiming "fair use"...so lame! It's not fair use, it's theft! Anyway... A couple weeks ago my dock neighbor Brian asked me if I wanted to buddy boat to The Isthmus (aka Two Harbors). I haven't been sailing my boat enough this year so I needed that little extra push to get me off the dock so I said, why not! We both left the dock a little later than we wanted to so that meant we would be arriving on Catalina Island at night on our tiny sailboats. To make it an even better trip my wife said that she would meet me on Avalon the next morning, she's always a riot and fun to hang out with but she will be in the next video. Here is how the first day went...
