Living on a Sailboat in Our 20s | Off-Grid Storms, Islands & Boat Projects

For seven days, we took our floating home — a 39-foot Jeanneau sailboat named Stella — completely off-grid to test if we’re truly ready to sail around the world. In this episode, we sail 32 nautical miles around Langkawi, Malaysia, through limestone cliffs, hidden inlets, and dense mangroves that feel like another world. We discovered the famous “Hole in the Wall,” a secret passageway where no other sailboats were anchored, and had it all to ourselves. From monkeys in the trees to eagles soaring overhead, it felt like living inside a wild, untouched paradise. But living off-grid on a sailboat isn’t always easy — and this week threw everything at us. ⚡ We battled huge storms during rainy season, climbed the mast after our furler jammed, and faced battery issues that tested our new electrical system. At the same time, we finally got to try out our new solar panels, davits, and tender, putting Stella to the test as our future world-traveling home. This week was also extra special because it was our kitten Shelly’s first sail. Watching her find her sea legs, climb around the boat, and explore her new ocean home was a reminder of why we’re chasing this life in the first place — freedom, adventure, and living close to nature. 🐾 Between dodging rain squalls and exploring quiet anchorages, we also found time for the small but essential parts of boat life — cooking, cleaning, repairing, and laughing through the chaos together. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to live full-time on a sailboat, completely off-grid, this video shows both the challenges and the beauty of it. From breathtaking anchorages to soaking-wet nights in stormy seas, this is our reality as we prepare to take Stella across oceans and sail the world. 👉 Subscribe and join us as we keep chasing remote surf breaks, exploring hidden corners of the sea, and sharing the highs and lows of this off-grid sailing life.
