They told us the sea was free. But today, slip fees rival apartment rents, insurance companies blacklist older boats, and marinas hand you contracts thicker than your logbook. The ocean didn’t change—but the gatekeepers did.

In this video, we reveal the Rogue Sailor’s Blueprint: the only way left to sail cheap in a world designed to make you pay.

We break down the harsh reality of the modern marine industry and how to beat it:

Escape the Marina Trap: How corporate takeovers killed the "mom and pop" boatyard and why you need to learn to anchor.

The Paper Wall: The hidden insurance and survey hurdles that make buying older boats a nightmare.

The $500/Month Budget: The art of living off-grid with solar, rain catchers, and a composting head.

Buying on a Fry Cook's Salary: Why you should ignore glossy listings and hunt for inland deals on proven hulls like the Albin Vega or Pearson Triton.

You don’t need a trust fund. You just need grit.
