Ever wondered what it’s really like to live on a sailboat? In this episode, I sit down with Jacob Starr from @sailumami to talk about the unfiltered truth behind boat life. From dealing with brand-new boat problems to learning the ropes of full-time cruising, Jacob shares his experiences—the highs, the lows, and why this lifestyle isn’t for everyone.

If you’ve been dreaming about buying a boat or stepping into the cruising life, this conversation will give you insight into what to expect, how to prepare, and the mindset shifts you need before casting off.

Are you dreaming of boat ownership but overwhelmed by the choices or secretly afraid of making a costly mistake? In this kickoff episode of That Boat Babe, I’ll show you how to get crystal-clear on the vessel, lifestyle, and investment that’s truly right for you.

You’ll learn:

• Why clarity comes before the boat search

• The 3 questions every aspiring boat owner should ask themselves

• How your vision for offshore life should shape your decision (not just your budget)

• Real-world examples of what happens when people skip this step

This isn’t just about buying a boat—it’s about creating the offshore lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of, with confidence.
