The Ultimate Guide to Funding Your Cruising Lifestyle

Are you someone who dreams of living a life of freedom, fun, and adventure on the open seas? Well, you're not alone! Many individuals and families are choosing to embrace the cruising lifestyle and explore the world aboard a sailboat or a motor yacht. However, one of the main concerns that arise when considering this type of lifestyle is funding the adventure. In this ultimate guide, we will explore various ways to fund your cruising kitty while enjoying the freedom and fun that comes with this unique lifestyle.

1. Create a Solid Financial Plan

In order to fund your cruising lifestyle, it's essential to start with a solid financial plan. This involves setting a budget and determining your monthly expenses while living aboard a boat. Consider the costs of maintaining the vessel, fuel, food, insurance, and any other expenses that may arise during your journey. Understanding your financial obligations will help you plan and secure the necessary funds to sustain your cruising lifestyle.

2. Work Remotely or Start a Digital Business

Thanks to modern technology, it is now easier than ever to work remotely while sailing the high seas. If you have marketable skills, consider working remotely for your current employer or starting a digital business. Whether you are a writer, designer, programmer, or consultant, there are countless opportunities to generate income online. This way, you can combine work with pleasure and fund your cruising kitty from anywhere in the world.

3. Rent Out Your Home or Property

If you own a home or property, consider renting it out to generate passive income while cruising. You can list your property on rental platforms or work with a property management company to handle the logistics. Renting out your home can significantly contribute to your cruising fund and provide financial stability while you explore the world.

4. Become a Freelancer and Work Along the Way

If the idea of working for someone else doesn't appeal to you, consider becoming a freelancer. This allows you to work on your own terms and take on projects as you please. With platforms like Upwork and Freelancer, you can offer your skills and services to clients worldwide. This flexibility gives you the freedom to work while enjoying the adventure of cruising and fund your journey at the same time.

5. Generate Passive Income through Investments

Investing is an excellent way to generate passive income that can fund your cruising kitty. If you have some savings, consider investing in stocks, real estate, or other income-generating assets. It's crucial to do thorough research and consult a financial advisor before making any investment decisions. With time, your investments can potentially grow and provide you with a steady source of income while you live your cruising dream.

6. Teach or Share Your Skills and Expertise

Are you skilled in sailing, cooking, or any other special talent? Consider teaching others or hosting workshops to share your expertise. From offering sailing lessons to organizing culinary classes, there are various opportunities to monetize your skills while cruising. This not only helps fund your adventure, but it also allows you to meet new people and contribute to the cruising community.

7. Embrace the Gig Economy

In addition to freelancing, the gig economy offers numerous opportunities to earn income along the way. From driving for ridesharing services to delivering goods or offering pet sitting services, the gig economy has something for everyone. These flexible job options allow you to work on your own schedule and generate income whenever and wherever you need it.

8. Cut Down on Expenses by Embracing Minimalism

Another way to fund your cruising kitty is to cut down on expenses by embracing minimalism. Living on a boat inherently means living with limited space, so it's essential to declutter and live a minimalist lifestyle. By reducing your possessions and focusing on experiences rather than material belongings, you can significantly lower your monthly expenses and free up more funds for your cruising adventure.

9. Generate Income through Blogging or Vlogging

If you have a passion for writing or creating videos, consider starting a blog or vlog about your cruising adventure. Share your experiences, knowledge, and tips with others who share your passion for the cruising lifestyle. Through monetization strategies like affiliate marketing, sponsored content, or merchandise sales, you can generate income while documenting your incredible journey.

10. Embrace the Sharing Economy

The sharing economy provides endless opportunities to earn income while living a life of freedom and adventure. Consider renting out a spare room on Airbnb, offering your boat as a charter, or joining a boat-sharing program. By embracing the sharing economy, you can maximize the use of your assets and generate additional income to support your cruising lifestyle.

In

Living the cruising lifestyle is a dream for many, but it doesn't have to remain just a dream. With proper financial planning and a dash of creativity, you can fund your cruising kitty and enjoy the freedom, fun, and adventure that comes with it. Whether you choose to work remotely, become a freelancer, invest, or embrace the gig economy, there are countless ways to turn your cruising dreams into a reality. So set sail, explore the world, and live the life of your dreams!

Did you know that many sailing couples and sailing families are enjoying the benefits of the sailing lifestyle while making a fantastic income? Most people assume that the boating life is only for the rich or retired. So not true!

I’ve met loads of people that tell me they’ll have fun when they retire or live the sailing dream once the kids are gone. And many unfortunately believe that you have to go to school, get a good job, have kids, be a pillar of the community, grow old, retire, and then you can relax and reap the rewards of all your hard work.

Of course it’s important to be responsible, take care of yourself and your family but why not do that AND enjoy one of the most amazing lifestyles out there?!

Would it surprise you to discover that there are thousands of people and families out living the dream and you could live it too?

My name is Kimberly and I am working sailing cruiser who has been successfully making a six-figure income while sailing around the world on my beautiful 56 yacht with my lovely husband and beautiful daughter.

I’m no one special. I wasn’t born wealthy, nor did I win the lottery. My husband was a prison officer and later a stay-at-home dad. I ran a foreign currency business in London. Both of us decided that life wasn’t working for us, so we sold everything we had, purchased a sailboat, and sailed off into the sunset.

We had a bit of money to live off of for a while, but the plan was to make an income.

Over the years, I didn’t feel as if I was making much progress, nor did I know exactly where we were heading. I just kept working away at a variety of things. Today we have multiple streams of income—some passive, requiring very little effort, and some active, requiring our full attention.

We make money while we sleep, and we make money when we have guests join us on our boat. The glorious thing is that we also make money while we have guests and sleep! Only now can I look back and provide you with what worked so that you can get a jumpstart to living your sailing life while making money to truly enjoy it.

I’ve created this book to help you realize that it’s possible to live your dream, and I’d like to share with you how we’ve made it work for us and how others have done the same. You most likely won’t want to follow in our exact steps, although we’d be happy to help you do so. What’s important is to understand the strategies available, the overarching principles and action steps that we applied. My hope is that you can make things work quicker and easier than it has been for us.

The approach that we’ve taken has allowed us to create a variety of income streams so that when one goes down, like when a world-wide pandemic destroys one income stream, other sources of income will support us through the tough times.

This book will provide you with an arsenal of many options. I hope you’ll get excited by the sheer number of opportunities there are to go out and live the life of your dreams! Start reading the book now!
