Your Most Burning Boat Search Questions Answered (EP. 196)

After months of travelling across Australia searching for our next boat, we're finally sitting down to answer your biggest questions. From Tasmania to the Gold Coast, Brisbane and most recently Perth, we've travelled thousands of kilometres inspecting sailing boats, expedition yachts, motor yachts and liveaboard cruisers in search of the right boat for our family's next adventure. In this episode, we make the long journey home to our sailboat Emma after viewing a Bering 55 in Perth. Along the way, we share our thoughts on the boat search so far, answer your most frequently asked questions, and explain why finding the right liveaboard boat is taking longer than many people expected.
