Ever wondered who actually lives on boats full-time? Are they all retired millionaires, or is it possible for anyone to start cruising? In this video, we break down the REAL stats on liveaboards and cruisers—how much experience they actually have, how they afford it, and the #1 mistake that ends most cruising dreams.
We’ll cover:**
✅ The average age of new liveaboards & cruisers
✅ How much sailing experience they have (it’s less than you think!)
✅ Marina life vs. full-time cruising—who actually leaves the dock?
✅ The most common boats for new cruisers (monohull vs. catamaran)
✅ Where first-year cruisers go—Bahamas, Caribbean, or coastal cruising?
✅ How long most people last before quitting boat life
✅ The biggest mistake that ruins the dream for so many sailors
