Think living on a boat in winter is a frozen nightmare? Think again. We’re actually warmer on our 44ft sailboat than in a house. Here’s how we do it.

When we moved onto our 44ft sailboat, we didn't want to live like we were "camping." We wanted a high-functioning kitchen that could handle a 6-person dinner while anchored. After a year of testing, I’ve realised that a professional-grade galley is about three things: Power Management, Spatial Geometry, and Gear that actually works. Here is the 10-item blueprint of our setup. 1. The AnySharp Knife Sharpener This is the gold standard for small kitchens. It uses a PowerGrip suc

Luna is our world. Moving her onto the boat was one of the things we worried about the most.We had no idea how she’d handle the space, the movement, or just how different everything would be.

But even with all that planning, there are a few things that only really become obvious once you’re actually living aboard. What actually matters living on a boat? For us, it comes down to a few key systems: Heating Power Moisture control Interne

We didn’t plan on having a “boat cat”… When we first moved onto the boat, we didn’t really know what life with a cat onboard would look like. I definitely wouldn’t say Luna is running the place 😅 — but she is  slowly finding her way. Before boat life, she was basically living her best outdoor life. In the summer she’d disappear for days at a time — we only knew she was alive because the food kept getting eaten. Now? She spends about 99.9% of her time asleep indoors . 🐈‍⬛ Ca

👋 Our first winter… was damp 😅 We didn’t realise how bad condensation would be until our first winter onboard. Condensation on a boat is one of the biggest challenges of liveaboard life in the UK — especially during winter. We’re talking dripping windows, damp bedding, that slightly cold, clammy feeling no matter how much you try to cosy things up… not the vibe. The worst of it was under our mattress. We ended up with mould on the foam and even the foam covers — which was h
