What They Don't Tell You About Living on a Sailboat

Everyone dreams of sailing into the sunset, exploring islands on Monday mornings instead of going to the office, kiteboarding in paradise... But nobody talks about the toilet clogging at 2 AM, living with a fridge smaller than a shoebox, or storms appearing out of nowhere with zero time to react. I'm planning to live full-time on a sailboat, and here's what no one tells you until it's too late. Yes, the dream is real - the freedom, exploration, living places that cost thousands to visit. But there's a reality side that sailing influencers don't show you. Before you sell everything for boat life, watch this honest breakdown of what full-time sailing actually looks like. #sailboat #liveaboard #sailing #reality #boatlife #honest #truth #storms #maintenance #freedom #exploration #dreams #fulltime #sailinglife #realitycheck" This balances the dream with the harsh realities while maintaining intrigue about what challenges he'll reveal.

The Privilege Brand needs no introduction as being one of the most desirable catamarans on the planet. We are lucky enough to have a flock of them on our listings including this 2005 awesomely equipped, magnificent example of a Privilege 585 Easy Cruise "Owners Version". Rarely available in this guise based in mainland Spain, close to Murcia & Alicante Airports and well worth a look at, if you are in the market for a luxury catamaran in this class. Impeccably maintained and privately owned, by a loving owner, never chartered........ this is one beautiful catamaran. VAT PAID!
