This week we’re chasing swell through some of the most remote islands in Indonesia. 🌊⛵ With the waves still pumping, Jesse somehow manages to damage his board… which isn’t exactly ideal when you’re hundreds of miles from the nearest surf shop. Luckily, we remember there’s a nearby surf resort with a few boards and decide to see if we can find him a replacement before the swell disappears. With a new board under his feet, we squeeze in one final session before heading back out to sea for an overnight passage up the coast, chasing the swell to our next surf spot. Along the way we cross the equator, hook a tuna as the sun goes down, and prepare Stella for more than 30 hours at sea. Surfing, sailing, fishing and chasing waves through remote Indonesia — exactly why we chose this life. Thanks so much for watching and following our journey aboard Stella Overboard. ❤️ Subscribe and join us next week to see how the passage goes and whether we find more waves at the other end! #Sailing #Surfing #Indonesia #SailingLife #BoatLife #SurfTrip #SailingIndonesia #SurfIndonesia Dirt Road Traveler by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Artist: http://audionautix.com/ 💙 A huge thank you to everyone supporting us on Patreon — you truly help make this sailboat life possible.

Living on a sailboat means the ocean isn’t just where we travel — it’s where we surf, sail, fish and sometimes even catch our dinner. ⛵️🎣🌊 In this episode, we’re sailing offshore through Indonesia chasing waves, fishing from our sailboat and experiencing another wild few days of boat life. After weeks without catching anything, the fishing line finally starts going off… and we somehow end up hooking THREE fish — although not everything we catch is something we can eat. Between offshore fishing, learning about ciguatera after catching a barracuda, releasing a blacktip shark, sailing from anchorage to anchorage and surfing some incredible waves, this episode pretty much sums up why we love living off-grid on a sailboat. We also welcome our friend Fab aboard Stella, chase more surf, deal with a pretty nasty reef injury, and get another reminder of just how remote life out here really is. If you love sailing, surfing, fishing, off-grid living and the realities of full-time sailboat life, welcome aboard Stella Overboard. 🤙 Subscribe and join us as we continue sailing through Indonesia and exploring some of the most remote islands, waves and anchorages we can find. #Sailing #BoatLife #fishing 💙 A huge thank you to everyone supporting us on Patreon — you truly help make this sailboat life possible.

We sailed all the way to the Mentawai Islands for days like this. After chasing swell through Indonesia, the waves finally turned on and we scored some of the best surf we’ve seen all season. From sailing between remote islands to surfing perfect barrels in crystal-clear water, this episode is exactly why the Mentawais are considered one of the best surf destinations in the world. Living on our sailboat Stella means we get to explore these remote corners of Indonesia completely differently — anchoring near surf breaks, sailing with the weather, and waking up surrounded by some of the most incredible waves we’ve ever seen. This episode has everything we came to Indonesia for: sailing, surfing, barrels, remote islands, big swell, clear water and another unforgettable adventure through the Mentawai Islands.

3 Perfect Waves in One Day | Sailing the Mentawais Can you really surf three perfect waves in one day? Today, we wake up at 4:00 AM aboard our sailboat and set off to chase perfect surf across the Mentawai Islands, Indonesia. From sunrise to sunset, we're sailing between remote islands, anchoring beside world-class reef breaks, racing another sailboat, fishing for dinner, and squeezing in three incredible surf sessions before the day is over. The Mentawai Islands are considered one of the best surfing destinations in the world, famous for crystal-clear water, perfect barrels, and endless reef breaks. Exploring them by sailboat gives us the freedom to wake up at a new surf break every morning and chase the best conditions with the wind.

Welcome back aboard Stella Overboard! ⛵🌴 This week, we're sharing another unforgettable chapter of our life living full-time aboard our sailboat in the incredible islands of Indonesia. Our friends Cai and Georgia have flown all the way from Australia to join us for a taste of life at sea, and they're quickly discovering that living on a sailboat is about much more than crystal-clear water and tropical islands. Before we can relax, there's always another job to tackle, and this time it's our watermaker. Living off-grid means every system on board is important, especially when it provides our drinking water, cooking water, washing water, and allows us to stay at sea for weeks without needing a marina. Once the jobs are done, it's finally time for some adventure! We sail through changing weather, explore a stunning new anchorage, enjoy fresh fish caught straight from the ocean, and introduce Georgia to the incredible underwater world on her very first scuba dive. With Jesse being a qualified rescue diver, we keep the dive shallow and safe while showing her just how magical the reefs around Indonesia can be. From sailing through rough conditions to discovering one of the most beautiful anchorages we've ever found, this episode is a perfect reminder of why we chose this lifestyle. Every day brings new challenges, incredible scenery, and adventures we'd never experience living on land. If you've ever dreamed about living on a sailboat, sailing around the world, exploring remote tropical islands, or living completely off-grid, we hope this episode inspires you to chase those dreams too.

🌊 What started as a normal surf session turned into one of our favourite days in Indonesia. After meeting a group of surfers while exploring the Telos Islands, we invited them aboard Stella, our 39-foot sailboat, for a day chasing remote waves that can only be reached by boat. With surfboards loaded, sails raised, and the handline out hoping to catch dinner, we set off in search of perfect lefts, rights, and a full day of adventure. From sharing life aboard our floating home to surfing crystal-clear tropical waves, fishing, cooking lunch at anchor, and ending the day with an unforgettable Indonesian sunset, this is exactly why we chose life at sea.

This is one of the biggest milestones in any sailor's life... crossing the Equator. After months of sailing through Indonesia, chasing empty waves and exploring remote islands, we finally reached the moment we'd been dreaming about since buying Stella. But before we could celebrate, we had a long offshore passage ahead of us, unpredictable Equator weather to navigate, and one legendary maritime tradition waiting on the other side... The Equator Crossing Ceremony. Join us as we become Shellbacks, celebrate one of sailing's oldest traditions, and officially sail Stella into the Southern Hemisphere for the very first time. Along the way we'll battle tropical squalls, cross one of the most famous lines on Earth, and continue our adventure through the incredible islands of Indonesia. ⛵ In this episode: 🌎 Crossing the Equator for the first time 👑 The legendary Equator Crossing Ceremony 🥚 Becoming official Shellbacks ⚡ Navigating Equator squalls and changing weather 🏝️ Arriving in the Telos Islands 🌊 Surfing our first waves in the Southern Hemisphere If you enjoy sailing, surfing, travel, and off-grid adventure, we'd love to have you aboard. ⚓ Subscribe and join us as we continue sailing around the world aboard our Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39i, Stella Overboard. 💙 A huge thank you to everyone supporting us on Patreon — you truly help make this sailboat life possible.

While exploring a remote island in Indonesia, we received a message from Victoria, a solo traveler and surfer who had never sailed before.

We are currently sailing in Indonesia. It’s a beautiful day with a perfect amount of wind comes sailing with us and enjoy the peace of the ocean.
Living on a sailboat definitely isn’t what most people expect. 😅⛵️ Here are 5 things you should know before stepping aboard… from limited water and power to some very weird boat toilets 😂 One thing that’s made life a whole lot easier while sailing between countries is using Yesim’s Global Plan. We don’t have to swap SIM cards every time we arrive somewhere new—it just keeps working, which makes checking weather, navigation, uploading videos, and staying connected so much easier. If you’re travelling soon, you can use our code STELLA for 15% off your first eSIM through the link in our bio. 🌎 #ad #yesim #yesimapp #esim #travelwithyesim need short one for youtub
This week, we sail into one of the most beautiful island chains we've seen in Indonesia. Crystal-clear water, empty anchorages, tropical islands, and perfect waves as far as the eye can see. It doesn't take long to understand why so many people fall in love with this place. After being invited to stay at a local surf camp, we spend our days exploring the islands, chasing waves, meeting new friends, and discovering why this little corner of Indonesia feels like paradise. From sunset sessions and hidden surf breaks to island adventures and life aboard Stella, this is exactly why we chose to live on a sailboat.

What started as a simple surf mission quickly turned into one of our favorite adventures in Indonesia. After hearing rumours of a wave on the other side of the island, we loaded up the dinghies, packed our boards, and set off on foot in search of what could be the perfect wave. The journey took us through remote villages, winding jungle trails, towering coconut groves, deserted beaches, and sharp coral coastlines. Along the way we met friendly locals, dodged sand flies, and explored a side of Indonesia that most visitors never get to see. And after all that walking... Was the wave worth it?

After hearing rumours about a wave hidden far offshore, we loaded up Stella, picked up our friends, and set sail into the open ocean to see if it was really as good as everyone claimed. What we found was something special. From chasing perfect waves and anchoring right beside the break, to fishing for a birthday barbecue, servicing the engine, dodging squalls, and sailing through strong winds, this episode is a glimpse into what life is really like aboard our sailboat in Indonesia. Life out here is never just about the destination. It's about the people we meet, the adventures we stumble into, and the incredible places we discover along the way. In this episode: 🌊 Surfing a remote offshore wave ⛵ Sailing through Indonesia 🎣 Fishing for dinner 🎉 Birthday celebrations aboard Stella 🔧 Sailboat maintenance and repairs 🌴 Exploring remote islands 🌧️ Strong winds and tropical squalls If you enjoy sailing, surfing, travel, fishing, and off-grid adventure, subscribe and join us as we continue our journey through Indonesia aboard Stella Overboard.

For the past 90 days, we've been sailing through Indonesia, chasing waves, fishing for dinner, exploring remote islands, and living full-time aboard our sailboat Stella. 🌊⛵️ In this episode, we're sailing along the rugged northern coast of Nias in search of a surf break we'd only heard rumors about. With the wet season still hanging on, we're dodging squalls, navigating rocky anchorages, and hoping the forecast delivers. Along the way we: 🏄♂️ Search for remote waves ⛵️ Sail the coastline of Nias 🎣 Buy fresh fish directly from local fishermen 🍳 Cook lunch aboard Stella 🌊 Score a fun afternoon surf 🛵 Explore the island with new friends 🍖 Enjoy a beachside BBQ and karaoke 🍻 Experience the incredible hospitality Indonesia is famous for What started as another day searching for surf turned into one of those unforgettable days that reminds us exactly why we chose this lifestyle. Life on a sailboat isn't always perfect. There are storms, repairs, changing weather, and long passages. But days like this make every challenge worth it. If you're new here, we're Camille and Jesse. After leaving our jobs behind, we bought a sailboat and set off to explore the world one island at a time. Right now we're sailing across Indonesia searching for waves, adventure, and everything in between. ⚓ Boat: Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39i Performance 📍 Location: Nias, Indonesia 🎥 New sailing videos every week FOLLOW THE ADVENTURE: 📸 Instagram: @stella.overboard 🎵 TikTok: @stella.overboard 💙 Facebook: CamilleMilligan #SailingIndonesia #Nias #SurfingIndonesia #SailboatLife #LivingOnABoat #SailingAdventure #IndonesiaTravel #FullTimeSailing #Surfing #BoatLife 💙 A huge thank you to everyone supporting us on Patreon — you truly help make this sailboat life possible.

We thought we had found the perfect anchorage in remote Indonesia… Empty surf breaks, crystal clear water, hidden mangrove rivers, and not another boat in sight. After days of heavy squalls and unpredictable weather, we sailed Stella deep into one of the most remote island chains we’ve explored so far hoping to find shelter, good surf, and a safe place to wait out the storms. And at first… it felt like paradise. We spent our days exploring the mangroves by dinghy, searching for empty reef breaks, surfing perfect waves, and fishing for food while living completely off-grid aboard our sailboat. But everything changed when our friends flew the drone over the bay… and spotted a massive crocodile swimming right beneath them. Suddenly this beautiful tropical anchorage started feeling a lot different. This part of Indonesia is not only known for crocodiles, but also dangerous squalls, strong currents, remote jungle islands, and some of the highest malaria cases in the region. In this episode: 🌊 Surfing remote Indonesia ⛵ Living full-time on a sailboat 🐊 Exploring crocodile-filled mangroves 🌧️ Sailing through storms and squalls 🎣 Spearfishing and fishing for food 🏝️ Off-grid island life in Indonesia 🛶 Dinghy adventures through remote jungle rivers From perfect empty surf to crocodile encounters and chaotic weather, this quickly became one of the wildest adventures we’ve had aboard Stella.

We bought a sailboat to chase empty waves around the world… and this might be exactly why. 🌴🌊⛵️ In this episode of Stella Overboard, we sail deep into remote Indonesia searching for untouched surf breaks, crystal clear water, and hidden islands far from civilization. What started as just another anchorage quickly turned into one of the craziest surf discoveries we’ve had so far. With our friends joining us aboard, we score pumping reef breaks, massive barrels, fresh spearfished dinner, tropical sunsets, and the kind of adventure that reminds us why we left normal life behind to live full-time on a sailboat. But life out here isn’t always paradise… squalls, strong winds, reef passes, crocodiles, malaria, and zero phone signal are all part of sailing through remote Indonesia. If you love sailing, surfing, travel documentaries, van life, off-grid living, freediving, fishing, adventure couples, and remote island exploration — welcome aboard Stella. 🌺 ⛵ Boat: Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39i “Stella” 📍 Filmed in Remote Indonesia 🎥 New episodes every week 💙 A huge thank you to everyone supporting us on Patreon — you truly help make this sailboat life possible.

How did two people in their 20s afford to buy a sailboat and sail around the world? In this episode of Stella Overboard, we finally sit down and share the full story of how we went from living in a beat-up van in Australia to buying a 39ft sailboat and sailing across Southeast Asia full-time. A few years ago we had almost no money, no house, no savings, and honestly no idea what our future looked like. After meeting in Byron Bay, Australia, we spent months living out of our van, traveling the coast, surfing, fishing, and trying to figure out how we could create a completely different life for ourselves. That’s when we made the decision to work FIFO mining jobs in remote Western Australia. FIFO (Fly-In Fly-Out) work meant living for weeks at a time in isolated mining camps deep in the Australian outback, working exhausting 12-hour shifts in extreme heat, dirt, iron ore dust, and nonstop routines. It was physically and mentally draining, but it gave us one opportunity we never thought we’d have — the ability to save serious money quickly. For nearly two years we sacrificed comfort, freedom, time together, and pretty much everything normal people in their 20s were doing… all with one goal: Buy a sailboat and escape the traditional path. While many people around us were buying houses, financing cars, and settling into city life, we took a completely different route and invested everything into a life of adventure, freedom, travel, sailing, surfing, and living off-grid on the ocean. In this video we talk honestly about: ⚓ How we saved enough money to buy our sailboat Stella ⚓ What FIFO mining jobs in Australia are REALLY like ⚓ How much sailboats actually cost to own and maintain ⚓ The truth about living aboard full-time ⚓ How we make money while sailing around the world ⚓ YouTube income, sponsorships, and online work ⚓ The hardest parts of sailboat life nobody talks about ⚓ Why sailing can be both cheaper AND more expensive than normal life ⚓ Boat maintenance, haul-outs, diesel, repairs, insurance & hidden costs ⚓ Why we chose Indonesia and Southeast Asia for cruising ⚓ How surfing, freedom, and adventure changed our lives forever This lifestyle didn’t come from family money, trust funds, or luck. It came from years of hard work, sacrifice, risk-taking, and believing that life could be different if we were willing to work for it. Now we’re sailing through remote Indonesia, surfing empty waves, exploring untouched islands, living off solar power, fishing for food, and documenting every part of this journey here on YouTube. Some days are incredible. Some days are exhausting. But every single day feels like we’re actually living. If you’ve ever dreamed of buying a sailboat, quitting normal life, traveling the world, living off-grid, van life, sailing the Pacific, or creating freedom for yourself — we hope this video inspires you to go after it.
