Sun, 14 Dec 2025 12:57:12 +0000

Episode 295 | After 5 years of work... Finally a BOAT TOUR! Yabá is a one-of-a-kind long-keel, wooden 80+ footer with a story carved into every plank. She isn’t just a boat we sail… she’s a boat we rebuilt from the ground up, with zero experience, a lot of stubbornness, and all the love in the world.

🌎 *About Us:*
We’re Ben & MP, a couple sailing the world (or trying to) on Yabá, our 80+ ft wooden schooner with our two dogs. But this wasn’t always our life.
In 2020, we found Yabá abandoned, sinking, and on the verge of being lost forever. We had no experience in boatbuilding, only a wild dream and the determination to make it happen. We worked relentlessly, learning from the best local shipwrights and pouring everything we had into this rebuild. It took four years of sweat, setbacks, and unwavering commitment, but today, Yabá is more than just a boat, she’s our home, our biggest adventure, and the proof that crazy dreams *can* come true.
Now, we’re sailing into the unknown, exploring remote islands, embracing the unpredictable and sharing the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Join us as we chase the horizon!
