Cruising Conversations – Episode 11 – Butch Ringelspaugh - Aqua-Cultured

Our latest Cruising Conversations guest is Butch Ringelspaugh – better known as Aqua-Cultured on YouTube and social media! Jeff Merrill and JMYS broker Mark Pittman met up with Butch at TrawlerFest Stuart in March 2023 to film this episode in the saloon of the Nordic Tug 42 Fog Dog – listed for sale with JMYS. As a lifelong boater raised in St. Petersburg, FL, Butch was raised in a sailing family who spent a portion of their lives living aboard a sailboat before Butch was born. Following his own path, Butch spent some time aboard a trawler as a kid and immediately fell in love with the design and convenience. From that point, he had a goal to live aboard a trawler one day. Fast forward to today, Butch has made that dream come true and has been living aboard for over 12 years and his current residence is a 1989 DeFever 44 in downtown St. Petersburg! Butch is well-known for his YouTube channel, Aqua-Cultured, where he regularly posts about boatlife, waterlife and everything in between. His channel brings an inside look into the trawler lifestyle from onboard projects to the monthly costs associated with living aboard.
