The Cost Of Cruising and How We Pay For It
Added 2019-09-17 08:44:22 +0000 UTCHow much does it cost to sail around the world, and how do we pay for it? This is one of the most popular questions we get asked. As some of you might know I’m a bit of a numbers and stats nerd, and I’ve compiled our average costs over the 10 years that Delos has been sailing. Things like insurance costs, fuel usage, boat maintenance, and food budget. Plus how we’ve made money along the way to pay for it! I’m preparing a presentation about the subject for the Annapolis and Southampton boat shows and I would love to get your input. If you have a question about this topic, please comment below and I’ll try to make sure it’s answered in the presentations I’m giving. I will also try to record the presentation and post on YouTube for those that can’t make it. Fair Winds- Capt. Brian

The Cost Of Cruising and How We Pay For It
In 2009 Brian Trautman left Seattle with enough savings for 18 months. Over the past 10 years Brian and crew have sailed 75,000 NM taking Delos to 46 countries and 6 continents. Brian did day work on super yachts, worked as a digital nomad in Australia, and used used social media to fund a lifestyle of sailing and travel. In this presentation Brian will discuss some of the costs associated with cruising, where his favorite cheap spots are, and how it’s possible to use the internet and social media to fund this lifestyle.
