All is quiet on the river. It's a little past midnight and I'm on the top deck of the AMA Verde. The church pictured here is the Durnstein Abbey. The history of the Abbey, begins in 1372, with the consecration of a Mary chapel paid for by Elisabeth von Kuenring. In 1410 Augustinian Canons were brought to Dürnstein from Wittgua in Bohemia, and the expanded building complex was established as a monastery. The Abbey church, which has been a parish church since 1745, is dedicated to the irgin Mary's assumption into heaven History comes alive on the danube. #amawaterways ##rivercruisespecialist

Nous sommes à Gaspard Bay, au Vanuatu, entourés de dugongs. Tom en profite pour s’occuper de l’un de ses boulots préférés à bord : les bouchons du pont en teck. Une rencontre avec les enfants du village nous amène aussi à une petite réflexion : parfois, on se dit que certains enfants de chez nous devraient venir faire un petit stage au Vanuatu… ça leur ferait peut-être du bien ! 😅 Puis il est temps de mettre le cap vers Ambrym. On s’attendait à une navigation tranquille, mais dans le chenal, la houle courte et croisée va complètement changer la donne. Sans exagérer : le pire mal de mer de ma vie! À un moment, je me suis vraiment demandé ce que je faisais sur un bateau ! Heureusement, une fois arrivés, on oublie vite l’enfer de la navigation… et on est toujours récompensés. ❤️ Date du tournage : 24 - 26 juillet 2026 👍 Si cette aventure vous plaît, pensez à laisser un Like, à vous abonner et à partager la vidéo.

We sailed into Two Rock Bay… and discovered the best beach bar in all of Greece! Two Rock Bay also became our favourite anchorage ever, with it's crystal clear water full of sea life, hidden caves to explore, beautiful beaches, and what we honestly believe is the best beach bar in the whole country. This place has it all... If you’re sailing the Ionian islands, or just dreaming about it, this is one spot you don’t want to miss!

We’re anchored off Koh Phangan, Thailand, but before we can continue our trip we have a problem—we’re getting pretty low on diesel. There are no traditional fuel docks on the island, so we head ashore and visit a few marinas hoping to find someone who can help us fill up. After striking out everywhere we try, we eventually give up on the fuel search and head back to the boat. From there, things get a whole lot better. We raise anchor in Haad Rin, home of Koh Phangan’s famous Full Moon Party, and set sail for another bay just up the coast. What follows is an absolutely beautiful sail and an incredible new anchorage. Sometimes cruising doesn’t go according to plan—but being stuck somewhere like Koh Phangan isn’t exactly the worst problem to have!

Die 8 km2 grosse Insel liegt 36 Meilen nordöstlich vom Capo San Vito auf Sizilien. Bereits im 15. Jahrhundert vor Christus war sie bewohnt. Von den Griechen wurde sie «Beinhaus» genannt, weil hunderte Meuterer aus Karthago hier verhungert sind. Dann kamen die Römer, die Araber und die Normannen. Piraten bedienten sich ebenfalls immer wieder und massakrierten die Bevölkerung. Während des zweiten Weltkrieges war die Insel Verbannungsort für politische Gegner, für Kriminelle und für Deportierte. Heute ist sie ein Traumziel für Touristen und Taucher, weil das Wasser sehr klar ist und sich römische Ruinen sowie Wracks in geringer Tauchtiefe finden.

Après plusieurs semaines de réfection de l’électricité de Joy, il était temps de faire le vrai test : sortir en mer et vérifier que tout fonctionne en navigation. Direction le large au départ de Canet-en-Roussillon, avec jusqu’à 18 nœuds de vent et de très belles conditions pour cette première sortie après les travaux. Pas de panne, pas de mauvaise surprise : l’électronique fonctionne, les batteries chargent correctement et Joy retrouve enfin la mer. Une navigation toute simple, mais qui fait vraiment plaisir après tout le travail réalisé à bord. ⛵ Au programme : Merci de suivre les aventures et la rénovation de Joy.

Buying an Outremer means deciding to set off. Outremer Ready is the program that makes that departure possible, from your very first idea to the return of your voyage. Between the desire to go and that first offshore mile, there is a real gap: settings to learn, situations to live through, decisions to make. A boat alone, however good, does not close that gap. Outremer Ready does, with bespoke support at every step. In this video, meet Camille Allard, Outremer's Sailing Experience Manager. It is a dedicated role that is a first in the industry: one person who knows your project from end to end, follows your progress and stays reachable at every stage. Recommendations tailored to your real level, introductions to owners with similar projects, and direct access to certified skippers and the shipyard's technical teams. The program is built in four stages: ▸ 01. Start: understand, learn, build your crew. ▸ 02. Progress: master your boat in real conditions, sailing. ▸ 03. Sail: cast off with full support and head offshore. ▸ 04. Return: keep your boat's value and prepare what comes next. It also includes Ladies Only, a program dedicated to women (courses, sailing experiences, webinars and discussion sessions) to learn and gain confidence at your own pace. Bluewater cruising made possible.

*Hey! We’re Ruth and Andrew* 👋🏼 After years of dreaming, we left our family, friends and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, behind as we set off to chase our shared dream of sailing the world. Last year, we bought our Excess 11 catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home as we live, work, sail and adventure across the Mediterranean. This week, with our engines finally fixed, we’re back on the water and continuing our sailing adventure around Sicily! ⛵️🇮🇹 This week, we leave the marina behind and sail along Sicily’s spectacular coastline, discovering crystal-clear water, beautiful anchorages and some of the most incredible scenery we’ve experienced in the Mediterranean. From the stunning beaches and lively streets of San Vito Lo Capo to Sicily’s rugged northern coast, we’re reminded exactly why we chose the liveaboard sailing life. But the biggest surprise comes in Termini Imerese... While heading back to Rúna, we spot a yacht sitting on the harbour wall that we instantly recognise. The 56-metre superyacht Bayesian, which sank off the coast of Sicily near Porticello during a violent storm in August 2024, tragically claiming seven lives. After being raised from almost 50 metres below the Mediterranean Sea, Bayesian was brought to Termini Imerese, where the investigation into the sinking continues. Seeing the Bayesian yacht up close was a sobering reminder of just how powerful and unpredictable the sea can be. Join us as we continue our sailing vlog around Sicily aboard our Excess 11 catamaran, Rúna, exploring the Mediterranean one anchorage at a time.

Owning a catamaran privately can run close to $195,000 a year before you ever leave the dock. Put the same boat into a well run charter program and that number goes to roughly zero. This full session breaks down exactly how, with a specific focus on California and Mexico. Estelle and Stephen Cockcroft have owned ten boats, sailed over 70,000 miles, and run charter operations in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Here they walk through private ownership versus charter management, the three program structures on the market, and how to build an ownership business that holds up under scrutiny. Glenn Gopman, CPA, joins the panel to take the tax questions live. Catamaran Guru has partnered with Kurt Jerman and Guinevere King of West Coast Multihulls, who operate charter bases in San Diego, Marina del Rey and Loreto in the Sea of Cortez. Their US bases matter more than most buyers realize: a boat based in the United States has no predominant use limitation, which makes Section 179 and 100% bonus depreciation far simpler to apply. What the panel covers: Guaranteed income, revenue share, and crewed charter, and why Stephen recommends only two of them The LLC structure, multiple income streams, and documenting active participation The 100 hour and 500 hour rules, and why we default to the conservative side First year bonus depreciation at 100%, loss limitation, and carrying forward Recapture, hobby loss rules, foreign LLCs, and why 1031 exchanges no longer apply to boats Planning your exit before you buy West Coast Multihulls' owner first program: a straight 50/50 split after expenses, no turnaround or booking fees, and reciprocal use across three bases The Sea of Cortez charter season, Mexican permitting costs and timelines, and why Puerto Escondido sits outside the hurricane zone 0:00 Welcome and Panel Introductions 1:05 Ten Boats and 70,000 Miles: Estelle and Stephen's Story 2:58 Private Ownership vs Charter Management 4:14 Guaranteed, Revenue Share, and Crewed Programs 9:53 Why Depreciation Matters for High Income Owners 11:41 The Steps: Buy the Boat, Build the Structure 14:25 Choosing a Boutique Management Partner 17:45 Active Participation and the Hour Rules 21:12 100% Bonus Depreciation Explained 24:43 The Numbers: Private vs Charter, Side by Side 32:43 Plan Your Exit Before You Buy 37:08 West Coast Multihulls: Three Bases 43:11 Inside the Owner First 50/50 Program 47:06 Sea of Cortez Season and Mexican Permitting 51:46 Open Q&A: Insurance, Hobby Loss, LLCs 56:25 Contacts and Next Steps If you have been thinking about buying a catamaran and want it to earn its keep, this is the place to start.

The taxi mission is complete — but not before one last day of sailing, island life, coconuts, rum and classic **Sailing into Freedom** chaos. ⛵🌴 In this episode, we look back at Catalina’s time aboard: learning to sail, taking the helm, exploring remote tropical islands, helping with the fishing, and proving just how much difference great crew can make on a cruising boat.

Comprar um veleiro já é uma decisão capaz de mudar uma vida. Agora imagine comprar um barco em um leilão da Receita Federal, em Belém do Pará, sem nunca tê-lo visto pessoalmente. Foi exatamente isso que aconteceu. O plano parecia relativamente simples: recuperar o barco, colocá-lo em condições de navegar e trazê-lo de Belém até Ubatuba em uma travessia que deveria levar cerca de dois meses. Só que, quando ele chegou para conhecer o barco que havia comprado, encontrou uma realidade bem diferente da que imaginava. Os dois meses viraram um ano e meio. Neste episódio de TrainingDon, converso com um amigo velejador e chefe escoteiro do mesmo grupo onde construí boa parte da minha própria história no escotismo. Uma conversa sobre barcos, improviso, decisões difíceis, perrengues e, principalmente, aprendizado. Acompanhamos o começo dessa aventura: a chegada a Belém, os primeiros problemas, a preparação do barco e a longa descida pela costa brasileira. Uma viagem que começou com tripulação, teve até a esposa a bordo e que, pouco a pouco, foi colocando diante dele desafios cada vez maiores. Até chegar a um momento decisivo: seguir navegando sozinho. E é justamente aí que esta história muda de rumo. Porque talvez algumas das maiores escolas de navegação não tenham sala de aula, professor ou apostila. Às vezes, elas começam com um barco comprado sem ver, milhares de milhas pela frente e uma enorme quantidade de problemas para resolver. Bem-vindo ao episódio 12 do Training Dom. Saia do sofá. Vem pro mar.

Welcome back to another episode of WE|Sail. EPISODE 35 France to Fiji in about 24 hours, one of the longest, most exhausting hauls we've done on this trip. After two unforgettable weeks with family in the Jura region, it was time to say goodbye and head back to our boat and our life on the water. Landing back in Fiji came with the warmest welcome, a full chorus of "Bula" right at the airport. From there it was straight back into liveaboard life: working off all that French cheese and wine, tackling a long list of boat projects, and getting VA ready to sail again. By the end of this one, the sails are back up and we're heading toward new territory here in Fiji, sailing life, back in full swing.

The Jeanneau Leader 9.0 CC Series 2 takes the traditional center console concept and gives it a much more social, family-focused personality. While it still delivers the practicality, visibility, and ease of maintenance that make center consoles so popular, this boat adds comfortable seating, overnight accommodation, and flexible spaces that make it equally suited to sandbar days, coastal cruising, watersports, and the occasional weekend getaway. In this series, filmed at Haulover Inlet in Miami, Florida, we take a detailed look at the Jeanneau Leader 9.0 CC Series 2 from both a design and performance perspective. In the walkthrough, we explore the cockpit, bow lounge, helm, accommodation, head, swim platform, and the clever features that make this boat so versatile. In the sea trial, we put it through challenging conditions at Haulover Inlet before heading offshore and inshore to evaluate its ride quality, handling, performance, docking, anchoring, and overall capability. Whether you're upgrading from a smaller center console or looking for a boat that offers far more versatility than a traditional fishing-focused design, the Jeanneau Leader 9.0 CC Series 2 is well worth considering. As always, the goal isn't to tell you whether this is the right boat for you, but to help you understand what it was designed to do and whether it matches your own boating lifestyle.

In this video I get the Corribee launched (not without some drama). The mast goes in fairly smoothly and then the tangle of the sail pact is put in order and installed.

Yacht brokers Wiley Sharp and Bill Regan are back for episode 5 of Cat Chat Live: Life Between the Hulls, the show about what's really happening in the catamaran market from two brokers who live in it every day. This week: instead of a single make and model, Wiley and Bill zoom out to a whole class of boat — the sub-$300,000 cruising catamaran. As pandemic-era prices finally come back to earth, they break down which older Lagoons, Leopards, and Fountaine Pajots are worth a look, what to budget for standing rigging and refits, and why a smaller boat that's already been upgraded can beat a bigger "bargain" that isn't. They also pull back the curtain on survey day — the single most nerve-wracking day in the buying process. From what a surveyor is actually looking for (and why sellers should stay off the boat), to the haul-out, the sea trial, the full-power engine test, and the findings that show up on almost every survey, this is the closest thing to a field guide you'll get. Naturally, a few war stories come with it — including a mouse in the mainsail and a dock line lesson Wiley won't forget. Plus: their between-the-hulls catch-up on why St. Augustine has quietly become one of the East Coast's best catamaran hubs, and this week's Broker Pick — the catamarans they'd actually buy for under $300K. Topics covered: • Why St. Augustine, FL is becoming a go-to catamaran hub • Affordable cruising cats under $300K: Lagoon 380/400/440, Leopard 38/39/40/46, Fountaine Pajot Mahé 36 and Lavezzi 41 • What to budget for on an older catamaran (standing rigging, engines, refits) • A full walkthrough of survey day, start to finish • What surveyors actually check in the water, out of the water, and under full power • The most common findings on catamaran surveys • Broker pick of the week: best sub-$300K cruising catamarans Have a topic you want Wiley and Bill to cover?

https://www.berthoninternational.com/yacht-sales-brokerage/yachts-for-sale/beneteau-oceanis-54-fiorella-ii/ Beneteau Oceanis 54 for sale. Full video walkthrough tour of the yacht for sale Beneteau Oceanis 54, FIORELLA II. This is a superb package from the Beneteau yachts range. FIORELLA II is a Beneteau Oceanis 54 from 2021; she ticks all the boxes for fun family cruising, both locally and further afield if desired. Above deck, she sports wide, clear decks. With the option of a slightly overlapping or self-tacking headsail and in-mast reefing, commanding her sail plan is simplicity itself. The spacious guest cockpit is well sheltered, as the sprayhood links with the mainsheet arch. With twin wheels and all lines leading aft, the yacht is set up to be managed easily by a small crew or couple. There is a full complement of excellent B&G instrumentation to keep you on track. Along with an abundance of deck stowage, the yacht also features a drop-down swim platform and a dinghy garage. Below deck, the yacht has a distinctly modern feel that is bright, airy, and pretty sharp, featuring three double cabins (with the owner's cabin forward) and two WCs with separate shower stalls. There is a well-equipped galley to port aft, relaxed seating and a chart table to starboard, and bench seating with a saloon table to port. What sets FIORELLA II apart is that she was well-spec’ed from the outset, well-maintained, lightly used, and is immaculately presented - as evidenced in the current photograph catalogue. She represents a superb package to get family and friends afloat, with little to do but drop the lines and go.

In Episode 30 of UK Sailmakers’ Lessons Learned, host Buttons Padin talks with Brendan Huffman, co-owner of the UK Sailmakers Los Angeles loft, fresh off winning ORR 4, the Gosling's Rum Division, and the perpetual Carl Schumacher Award in the 2026 Pacific Cup aboard his refit Express 37, Dorado. He took the lead in the last 100 miles of an 11.5 day race. Brendan walks through a stop-and-start two and a half year restoration, including major deck and rig updates, a cracked diesel tank that contaminated the bilge and water tank weeks before the start, and last-minute equipment changes. He details his offshore sail plan using UK's X-Drive® laminates, why he left the J1 at home, and how a spinnaker net helped prevent headstay wraps while sailing deep in rolly trade wind conditions. He also explains why he chose a five-person crew, how they managed systems and navigation, and what's next for the boat. 00:00 Introduction 01:13 Express 37 Refit Story 03:26 Setbacks and Delivery 05:35 Sail Inventory Choices 08:27 Spinnaker Net Explained 12:20 Race Results and Lessons 14:30 Five Person Crew Strategy 16:23 Favorite Race Moments 17:37 What’s Next for the Boat 19:21 Taffeta on X-Drive Sails 20:17 Conclusion Like and subscribe to the UK Sailmakers YouTube channel to be notified when more great content from our channel is uploaded.

It's very wet in Wales but we are making progress with 2 weeks until we launch. Starting final electric motor fit and the bilge/waste pump. We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.page/ Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).
