- narrator 3y agoThey had an episode where they talked about how much it cost and it was only a few hundred bucks a month each when there were a couple people on the boat and they were in lower cost parts of the world. That's pretty cheap for the kind of lifestyle they live. Brady is extremely handy and good at everything involved in boat maintenance so that saves a lot of money. The lesson I learned watching that show is sailing around the world is for people who are very wealthy or very good at all aspects of boat maintenance. Especially when their water maker breaks in the middle of nowhere and they have to diagnose the problem and jerry rig something to make it work.
- freeAgent 3y agoYeah, for short bursts of time it can be a cheap lifestyle. But then you have times where you need tens of thousands of dollars of boat work (bear in mind their boat is 52’, not some “small” 30-footer like the Pardeys). They get a TON of stuff free or subsidized by followers (free cars, places to dock, places on land to live, TONS of expensive boat equipment…).
