Dreaming of living on a sailboat one day? Already cruising and craving connection?

The Liveaboard Sailing Podcast brings you into the cockpit with people who live and travel on their own sailboats. Each conversation goes deeper than destinations and boat specs — we talk about decisions, doubts, budgets, storms, relationships, work, courage and more.

Host Annika, not yet a liveaboard herself, is learning as she goes and asking the questions many new sailors are thinking but don’t know who to ask. Expect warm, meaningful stories, practical advice, lessons learned the hard way, and inspiration for your own journey afloat.

69. Friendly Flags and French Canals: A Journey Through Europe's Waterways

Season 5 · Episode 11

Tuesday, May 9, 2023 • Duration 55:23

In this week's episode of the Liveaboard Sailing podcast, I sit down with Steve Payne, a liveaboard cruiser and YouTube creator who has been sailing around Europe for the past few years. I start off by asking Steve the age-old question, "why live on a boat?" and delve into his journey from being a professional photographer and filmmaker for decades to becoming a YouTube creator in the sailing world.

We also explore the joys of the liveaboard lifestyle, and his experience sailing through the French canals. Additionally, we touch on the Friendly Flag project that Steve started, that encourages friendship and socialization on the water.

This week I’m chatting with a delightful couple, Julie and Gio Cappelli from SV Sea Fox who are full of incredibly useful tips. I talked to them shortly after they had arrived to Mexico about their journey to liveaboard sailing.

56. How to survive a multi-year refit

Season 4 · Episode 7

Wednesday, November 23, 2022 • Duration 39:54

This week we are going all in on boat projects! 🛠 My guests are Chris and Kelly from Youtube channel Sailing Adrift and they have just recently completed a multi-year refit of their sailboat from the early 1970s. In fact, at the time of recording, they were just one week away from splashing and it was really great to chat with Chris and Kelly at this point in their journey. They had been working really, really hard, completely rebuilding the boat – and they filmed the whole thing for Youtube – and they actually didn’t have any sailing experience, so all this work was built on the idea that the sailing life will be as amazing as they think it is. So join us as we chat about how they survived the multi-year refit, what it entailed and what’s next.

55. Cultivating adventure by crewing on sailboats and superyachts

Season 4 · Episode 6

Wednesday, November 16, 2022 • Duration 41:08

This week we are talking about crewing on sailboats and super yachts ⛵️🛥 My guest is author Regina Meyer, whose book Change of Course is a tale of international adventures, sailing across oceans and a bit of a memoir of Regina’s time spent living in Antigua. In this interview I ask Regina about tips for anyone interested in being crew on other people’s boats, how to avoid nasty surprises when choosing a boat to crew on, and Regina also reflects on the two sides of Antigua she experienced: living in a rural village with no electricity, and working on a $50million super yacht – all within a few miles from each other.
