After watching Jack work with you and operate the boat, I hope you are working on helping him get his Captains papers. He has really grown since you started.
I wish I felt like their guests are as grateful as Ethan. His appreciation for this experience shows. I am surprised that the rest do not seem to realize what an opportunity this is with this amazing family.
Can you imagine the responsibility Keith and Renee were willing to take on to invite these teens on board giving them the life changing adventure. I agree with you totally about Ethan, he is the star of the new guests with that winning smile and positive attitude. Congrats to his Parents.
Same here… I would have killed for something like that when I was a teen. I did get to go to Europe for a month in the summer for the first time when I was 17 and spent the whole time with a family there and had a blast. Only that it was not on the water but on land. Feels like something is missing in these videos. Excitement perhaps. It goes to show that sometimes the excitement of wanting to be somewhere can be greater than actually being there.
Well Ethan is as greatfull and enthousiastic about Starbucks as he is about diving so what is what? It looks fake after a while. All the others also tell about struggles they have (nothing to do with being gratefull or not)
My takeaway and probably one not sought or expected is the comparison that shows prominent between teenagers raise in modern society and yours raised in a closed nurturing family environment. Jack is becoming a wise young man, willing to learn from Keith. I see him fully engaged in the sailing world going forward. Finn seeks acceptance, that's important to him. Kate is so grounded and self-assured. Great videos and a true fan from the beginning.
If you have been watching for a few yrs., you will have seen Finn grow and mature now very much an independent man not afraid to express himself. He too will make a great father like Keith.+
@@SailingZatara What will be interesting is how this trip for all these kids will impacted their course direction in life and their future dreams. Hope your kids stay friends with all of them and when they are all 40 something they do another sailing trip together. ⛵💙🌊 Finn's music on this vid was excellent!!!
Wow ! Y'all are making history ! When history looks back on when the Saudi Arabian coast opened up Zatara will be mentioned . Not a small thing at all . Stay Safe and fair winds .
Good on ya Keith for being a very good ambassador especially for cruisers......as fellow cruisers I get so fed up with cruisers who bitch and moan when things don't go well at a particular marina in another country while completely ignoring how hard the people are working to make everything work (especially 3rd world countries). I was in a remote place in the Abacos once, and the little place didn't have enough fresh water hose to reach the boat and the watermaker was tango uniform....just before leaving the gas dock a little kid showed up with bits of hose he collected around the town and pieced it all together, flushed it out, and we filled our fresh water tank (and he got a very big tip). Thanks for setting a great example on how to spend less time bitching and more time observing and complementing and giving kudos where they are due!
The Coleman part at the end was EPIC. Sad but EPIC... You guys are amazing and it is so awesome you are giving the new crew an opportunity of a lifetime!!!
I was part of the team that first charted the marine approaches to Yanbu (just north of Jeddah) in the mid 1970’s. We collected hydrographic data and performed studies for the future development of the area. Best scuba diving and coral systems diversity I have ever seen. And I’ve been lucky to see a lot since that time. So glad to see a good welcome to you and yours.
The translation whas spot on Renee 😂 we’ve been watching the channel for years now and we’re secretly hoping that one day you’ll visit the Netherlands and Belgium some time in the future so we could buddy boat and show you our beautiful countries and our sailing/cruising availability’s… Maura we laten de taak bij jou om de crew te overhalen om onze landjes te promoten hè! Blijf lekker Nederlands praten en eens je terug bent en absoluut nog eens wil gaan zeilen … altijd welkom! Ook de grevelingen de wadden of de Oosterschelde en het Haringvliet hebben veel te bieden. Doe ze daar allemaal de groetjes van ons en leer ze maar wat Nederlands 😂
I KNOW I would not be able to do what Jack did. Crawling into that small area. Claustrophobia sucks. GREAT JOB Jack!! Adrian, I can understand, repetition can be annoying, however, I am very jealous you are there!! I know you will remember this forever!!! Maura! Thank you for sharing the Dutch language, I love that you include that!! It's great to be exposed to other countries and their language! Ethan, again I am jealous, I want to get PADI certified as well, loved watching the dive!! Maura hit the nail on the head, Zatara crew ARE Amazing, Thank You Kieth and Renee for sharing every week!!!!!
Jack saved the day. Great job. I know you are all having a great time. This time will be remembered forever by all. Thank you Renee for your time filming and editing. Love to all of you from Switzerland.
Dag Maura! this comment is for you! my Mom is from Nederland's and its so cool hearing you speak Dutch, my Ouma and mom used to speak a lot of Dutch but not so much anymore as my Ouma past away about 10 years ago, but now when my Uncle is around then my mom and him speak Dutch...anyways just thought I'd say I appreciate your Dutch and It makes me proud! 👌🤙👍✊👊👏🙌☺
Loved Mara's comments at the end in her native Dutch language. Having lived in a couple of former Dutch colonies (South Africa, Suriname), in my life I always respect the great English skills of the wonderful Dutch descendants, I call my friends. Such great people.

Glad you all had the opportunity to visit Saudi Arabia... you are experiencing what most American's don't get to experience, and can now share what you have experienced and so can your visitors. You can now help dispel the negative myths about SA... We have more in common with other nations, than we have differences. Keep doing what you love doing, and sharing your amazing experiences...Thank you so much! We wish you fair winds and following seas. We hope to see you, out on the water some day!
gem of episode. Renee is producing a documentary show per week, content is excellent, production too! loved the a/c install, and the conversation about “honesty” & “avoiding shallow popularism”, great to see and to listen. The Saudi and countries stereotypes issue so well pointed out!!
Oklahoma Gal here again!! Hellooooo to My Favorite Blue Water Friends!!😊 I’ve been watching every day since your last video!! Hey these 60 yr old youngens in Oklahoma love to have fun and You All know how to do that to the fullest!! Love the way Your family loves and respects each other !! Once again.. My dream.. my #1 bucket list is to see the blue waters !! I will cook clean or do anything I can to just spend a few days with Your family!! 😆❤️You know how to laugh and have fun no matter what you do and that’s my kind of people!! KEEP ON KEEPIN ON WHAT MAKES YOUR HEARTS SMILE!! This Oklahoma Gal always has Your family in my prayers!! 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
What a tremendous privilege for those teens to get an opportunity to sail with your family. Just as important I believe having the kids onboard is an vital for your teens to have other young people to socialize with. They all seem to be adapting well. I feel Colman should have stuck with it and stayed. He’s going to miss out a life changing experience. Keep them safe Keith.
I lived and worked in the Middle East for several years. Mostly Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Lebanon, and Oman and some work with Saudi Arabians too. The most wonderful people. I loved it there and loved the people. Food is the best. So great you had such a great experience in Saudi. There are many misconceptions about Saudi. Thank you for dispelling some of them.
ORANJEEEEE BOVEN🧡 Love to see a dutchie on the boat. Hope you guys have the best time of your life and remember to appreciate every little thing over there. It’s a blessing to be on that boat with amazing people like the Zatara family. Enjoy!
Totally true, BUT in 1925 he changed his nationality to German and was not Austrian any longer. So during all the atrocities he committed, he was technically German.
@@roberttoodie275 I came here to say lekker lekker, you beat me to it. I'm Zimbabwean and grew up in Sth Africa, living in Australia now, it was awesome hearing the Dutch! 😁
@@dcsc1 I was born in Rhodesia also left to go to South Africa. For interest in Bulgarian if you want to say "good night" you say "leka Nosht" (лека нощ)
Awesome work Jack getting in those tight spaces installing the new AC units!! I loved the shots with Sailing Aquarius with them motoring side by side! I love you both buddy boating together on this route! Have a blast stay safe and thanks for sharing!
Great job on the AC units by Keith and Jack. Good on you Jack for your perseverance. I can only imagine how nice it is to have working AC units. I was fascinated by Keith's comments about Saudi Arabia opening up to boaters, it's a very good harbinger for the future. It looks like the kids are having an amazing time and adapting to the Zatara life. Keith and Renee, you both deserve a gold medal for parenting, living an amazing life and being the most kind and welcoming human beings on the high seas. Sweet Home West Virginia!
I absolutely love every single video y’all put out but this one was so incredibly full of pride and warm fuzzies !!! I’m a very compassionate but tough love, build endurance and figure it out kind of mom, so seeing these kids mature, take responsibility, learn new skills, adjust to the uncomfortable, tend to their emotions, endure difficulties, bond with others, appreciate the good and the bad and cooperate as a team is so heartwarming!!!! Life is hard and if we as parents don’t build these things into our children they will either not make it or have a more difficult life. So to Keith, Renee and all the parents who let their kids go, thank you, you have just changed the lives of these kids !!! And all of that goes for Jack, Finn and Kate just as much !!! The Dutch girls words about Keith and Renee were not only true but it shows her maturity at seeing and appreciating the strength of others !!! If you kids read this, just know that all the good and the bad, the adjustments and emotions are what life brings most everyday when you head out on life alone away from the security of your parents, so embrace it, learn from it and find the positive in everything, your life will be better for this experience !!! I’m praying for each of you 🙏🏻 Blessings
Looks like you guys are having a blast, enjoy!! Adri, don't worry about missing home. Winter is already creeping in. They'll be plenty of time for ice fishing when you get home! 🤣🤣 Have fun!
So happy to see everyone getting comfortable with one another! A trip of a lifetime, never to be forgotten by your lucky guests. Thanks for letting us watch!
Being an HVAC tech of 20+ years there was some interesting & impressive bits at the start of the vid ... being a musician of 25+ years I was even more impressed when I heard Finn's music ... another great Zatara video guys , awesome work all the way around !
When Keith and Renee first talked about bringing young teens aboard, I thought "Oh boy" but then I thought about Kate and how great it would be for to communicate with girls her own age and was pretty happy about that. Then I was concerned how males in Saudi would treat the non Arabian girls and was wrong about that as well. So as Renee said, "There are good and bad people every place you go" and so far, they are meeting the good ones! And that is very nice.
Well very nice translation, Renee. Lol.. Great to see everyone having a good time.. And the signing, i suggest that this boy should do some research in the meaning of this sign... Enjoy the rest of the time together, warm regards from the Netherlands
Omgosh, it is awesome to have watched Jack grow up and become a fine man. Dad you have taught him so much and he is so competent. Finn and Kate also have become fantastic young adults. Great parenting and values. Just wow you guys. Love being allowed to be a part of your lives.

Jack, Mr. Ex-Lax is on the chill, yoo, foh-real-doe. I be feel'n yuh! Great learning experience Dad. Jack should be taking on more and more of these repairs and installs. It's good for him and way good for you. Thank you, Saudi Arabia, for taking such good care of our American, and Canadian, friends.
What a great group of kids that has joined you on this adventure. I am really enjoying these episodes. Also enjoy seeing all your children maturing. Thank you for sharing this adventure with the world!
Was that Keith imitation of his héros Trump? "It's going to be big. It's going to be monumental. It's never been done before." Too funny. He even got the mini hands right. Roflol
It is good to see your new crew finding their footing and becoming a bigger part of the family. They add a new dimention to your videos and it is nice to see your guidance at work. Your oldest son is absolutely a good helper when it comes to crawling into small places and mounting new aircondition units. Keith and myself would both have needed the resque team to get out of the holes again, but Jack's trim figure and agility did the job just fine. Stay safe and have fun out there.
Don’t think for even one second that I missed Finn’s 6 string work at 15:05. That sounded great, and the way that it was worked into the edit was really smooth.
I think the translation of what Renee said is that "we are fed total bs about other countries, so go with what you observe." The kids are all beautiful and seem really joyous & good natured. I appreciate that you are letting them talk to the camera & being really judicious about personal stuff. I'm sure there's different bonds being formed, but I don't mind not knowing about them. You are playing it like a travelogue, not a reality show. Thanks!!!!!
Renee, Hitler was born in Austria. The Austrians like to claim the Hitler was German and Beethoven was Austrian, but the opposite is the truth. Love your videos.
I think all of you are super awesome people. About the finger waving thing....Do it, and enjoy it. The world needs more fingers wavers out there...hehe. Stay safe everyone, and enjoy your time on the water.
Oklahoma Gal here again!! 🤣 I was in Texas/Oklahoma Tornado Area this past weekend visiting my little 90 yr old Dad … Be so thankful You were there and Not Texas !! Told Yall I always have your family in my prayers!! Lol. 😆 But True!!💞
One more thing!! Renea You are the most sweetest most precious Beautiful Lady.. Mama.. Wife!! Friend!! Love the way You love Your Family!! Fun and laughter are so important and You all definitely know how to do that!! Your Children!! Wow!! Few like Yours!! ( mine are pretty special too!😁). So respectful!! Love the way the watch their Dad and learn ! Smart Young Men!’ I don’t know if I will ever get to see that beautiful blue waters so I sure do love watching you all live your dreams!! Thank You.. EVERY ONE of You!! Keep on keepin on doing what makes your hearts smile!! 💞
A fantastic episode Zatara. Your diplomacy towards your host Country is exemplary. You promote peace and good will wherever you go. Great that you got your new aircons, and a brilliant effort for both Keith and Jack in getting them installed. I hope you continue to enjoy your excursion with your young guests on board. Fair winds, and God speed Zatara.
What a beautiful crew you have on board now. Very impressed with how good the air conditioners were installed. I don’t think there’s anything that Keith could not fix. And your sons are really good at helping. Glad to see you all are so happy and safe. Sending blessings and hugs on your journey love grandma Tampa
Here in Victoria BC Diesel is super high due to our high taxes and the local US refinery down for maintenance. The cost 2.26 / liter! 4 liters to a gallon roughtly.
I love her reserved personality!!! She doesn’t realize how beautiful she is which adds to her humbleness and magnifies her beauty Whoever she settles with will be lucky 🍀
I’m intrigued that you say that the Red Sea is uncharted. That’s so not so. My Great Uncle George Chisholm charted the Red Sea at the turn of the last century, ie 1900. We had the original soundings of the islands and reefs in a trunk in the loft of my parents house when we cleared it out in 2001. We sent the canvas rolls to the Greenwich Maritime Museum but never heard back from them. These maps were so detailed and took years to make. We even have reefs, islands and shoals named after our family. True, those maps are way way out of date but they were mapped and sounded. Loving your vlogs, new subscriber and will attempt to catch up with you vlogs! Every best wish from Neil in Australia 🇦🇺
The whole video is awesome as always Renee,. The closing "sentiment" segment was cool to hear how each of the new sailors were coping. When the Dutch girl was talking Dutch and we got English subtitles was so special and I chuckled when she said Renee didn't know a lick of Dutch!
I worked on a motor vessel (Seismic ship) as a medic, and I loved being in the Red Sea. We eventually went through the Sue and that was a great passage. So jealous and wish I was there again.
I’m very refreshed by your videos, Jeddah is one of the few places that you’ve cruised to that I’ve visited previously. I’m impressed by the awesome yacht club, my visits were over 20 years ago so I’m sure it’s very different in every way. The Saudi people are warm and friendly, the government I won’t comment about. Things have changed drastically with regards to personal freedoms in Saudi Arabia since I was there, you’re fortunate to visit in a much better time. Thank you for sharing your sailing life, I love your family ❤
Had no idea thats where you stick the AC units on Zatara! Just wild how use of space has to be maximized on a Catamaran (or an RV) The secret sauce of Team Zatara is of course Keith and his skills at Repair and Replacement of Boat Machinery and Tech. The Designers of Yachts just assume repair will be done by Expensive paid labor with checks written by of course uber wealthy owners. The reality of course is different I know not everyone who owns a boat is mega rich and if you want to make it work sure helps to have a Keith on board and a son Jack who can learn from the Best! Highly recommend a rewatch of Ep 190 "Seriously, is there anything he CAN'T fix?" That ep shows just what skills are needed in the Money Pits of the Mobile lifestyle (Boats and RVs the Land Yachts). Great Episode and kudos to the other secret to this channels success Renee, who just keeps this ongoing Saga engaging & entertaining with Top-level Video skills!
Hello zatara sailing I'm glad you got your AC units replaced so you will be more comfortable on the boat. Thank you Keith for you and Renee inviting a group of kids to have the experience of a lifetime I can see on your smiles how happy they are teach them everything you can maybe one day they will take up sailing on their own. You know all the kids have a good time stay safe and healthy always God bless all of you
WOW, Keith makes 17k a month from RUclips for this channel. That’s over 200k a year. They are worth over 1.2 million. Also, they have patrons and supporters. I just don’t understand why they don’t wear Sperrys to protect their feet while sailing.
What a great idea to have the guests on board. They will create a bond that they will never forget that experience. It will be sad when they leave. Lucky "kids"! Keith and Renee: you rock!
So I’m not sure if you could use these units but there are such things as standalone air conditioners. You could’ve easily put two or three of those units in your boat if you are docked you probably could’ve hooked them up to the power vented them out the port hole to provide a supplemental relief if you could find them in that country.
Renée - you're very right. Every country in the world has its' issues. In my extensive travels (KSA included) I have found that "the people" are pretty much the same the world over. All they want is a nice happy and healthy life. Its the rulers who are always the problem. What to do?!? Also - please be aware that as you approach the Aqaba area, you might have to check about flying your drone. It is a heavily militarised place, and so for the avoidance of any issues - check first, as Drones are largely forbidden in the region. Also (I have so many things I could mention!!!) Kate is positively glowing. Its so nice that she has girls with who she can connect. The difference is impressive. You're great parents, and I salute y'all!! (Off to `KSA myself this week, maybe...)
The kids are just amazing. What a joy to see them develop deep friendship and shared experiences. What a Blessing Zatara brings to all of us (your fans). Grateful to be able to come along for the Adventure!
I've been watching this family since the start of the Big Catamaran era and in the span of 3 months seen 5 years worth of the kids growing into young adults. Keith and Renee can be proud of their kids and themselves. 😎
Yeah, I did the same thing. Recently found them and proceeded to binge watch years over a couple weeks. It was interesting to see everything and everyone. My Kids are 21 and 19, I kept thinking what a great video log of everyone’s life to have and treasure forever!!
There is good in many people and places We just need people to want to enjoy life and experience the good things that we all can share Life's short Live it :) Keep on sailing

I like when I come to the comments to say something, and someone else already said it for me, so I can just click like 😂. Well.... except this time.
One problem he color blind may be a hindrance sadly
@@BTCxyz369 he can wear colour blind glasses though, so he should be fine, hopefully? 🤞
@@BTCxyz369 Color blindness, no matter how severe, will not prevent you from qualifying for a USCG issued Captains License.

Sounds like even you don't have the enthusiasm that Ethan has. So why are you expecting all the other crew members to be like him?

@@SailingZatara Keiths impersonation was Hilarious!
I have known plenty of teenagers raised in "modern society" who are wonderful people - maybe the problem is not the kis around you, but you.
Wow, Finn's interlude is crazy good and Jack's repair work is spot on. These are two industrious, worldly and good young men.
Wow ! Y'all are making history ! When history looks back on when the Saudi Arabian coast opened up Zatara will be mentioned . Not a small thing at all . Stay Safe and fair winds .
Exactly what I was thinking too. Modern day pioneers, it’s beautiful.
Good on ya Keith for being a very good ambassador especially for cruisers......as fellow cruisers I get so fed up with cruisers who bitch and moan when things don't go well at a particular marina in another country while completely ignoring how hard the people are working to make everything work (especially 3rd world countries).

Thanks for setting a great example on how to spend less time bitching and more time observing and complementing and giving kudos where they are due!
I am also extremely impressed with Keith. Such a great smile and easy going fit in personality. He must make his family proud.
Common practice to nick extra money........clipping hoses n sending the kids with the solution......

Jack, you are an amazing son. Feel proud Keith & Renee.
I know you mean well but tell the parents how to feel
I love the glee in Momma’s voice when she says; “Jack did a fantastic job!” Of course he did! He’s been raised right! 😎👍🏼👍🏼

Important side note actually
Totally true, BUT in 1925 he changed his nationality to German and was not Austrian any longer. So during all the atrocities he committed, he was technically German.
And his name is spelled with only one T. Grammar is the difference between knowing your shit and and knowing you're shit you see.
Doesn’t matter if was German or Austrian didn’t name the country after his name. Saoudi is a name of a family of killers for god sake.
Sidenote; he was an Alien
Ek is n Afrikaanse kyker van Zatara uit Suid-Afrika en vind dit heel interessant dat ek kan verstaan wat Maura praat.
lekker
@@roberttoodie275 I came here to say lekker lekker, you beat me to it. I'm Zimbabwean and grew up in Sth Africa, living in Australia now, it was awesome hearing the Dutch! 😁
@@dcsc1 I was born in Rhodesia also left to go to South Africa. For interest in Bulgarian if you want to say "good night" you say "leka Nosht" (лека нощ)
loving ethan vibes.. lots of energy in that kid haha
How special the experience these kids get with you all. Ethan seems like a natural Zatara member.
Great job installing the A/C units, Jack!
Awesome work Jack getting in those tight spaces installing the new AC units!! I loved the shots with Sailing Aquarius with them motoring side by side! I love you both buddy boating together on this route! Have a blast stay safe and thanks for sharing!
I think Ethan is going to try to be a Permanent Stowaway!
Great job on the AC units by Keith and Jack. Good on you Jack for your perseverance. I can only imagine how nice it is to have working AC units. I was fascinated by Keith's comments about Saudi Arabia opening up to boaters, it's a very good harbinger for the future. It looks like the kids are having an amazing time and adapting to the Zatara life. Keith and Renee, you both deserve a gold medal for parenting, living an amazing life and being the most kind and welcoming human beings on the high seas. Sweet Home West Virginia!
I absolutely love every single video y’all put out but this one was so incredibly full of pride and warm fuzzies !!! I’m a very compassionate but tough love, build endurance and figure it out kind of mom, so seeing these kids mature, take responsibility, learn new skills, adjust to the uncomfortable, tend to their emotions, endure difficulties, bond with others, appreciate the good and the bad and cooperate as a team is so heartwarming!!!! Life is hard and if we as parents don’t build these things into our children they will either not make it or have a more difficult life. So to Keith, Renee and all the parents who let their kids go, thank you, you have just changed the lives of these kids !!! And all of that goes for Jack, Finn and Kate just as much !!!
The Dutch girls words about Keith and Renee were not only true but it shows her maturity at seeing and appreciating the strength of others !!!
If you kids read this, just know that all the good and the bad, the adjustments and emotions are what life brings most everyday when you head out on life alone away from the security of your parents, so embrace it, learn from it and find the positive in everything, your life will be better for this experience !!!
I’m praying for each of you 🙏🏻
Blessings
Bella has such great energy! She looks like she belongs to your crew!
Jack really stepping up!! Such a great episode! ❤️
Looks like you guys are having a blast, enjoy!! Adri, don't worry about missing home. Winter is already creeping in. They'll be plenty of time for ice fishing when you get home! 🤣🤣 Have fun!
Snow and minus temperatures in Canada!!! Just enjoy this amazing experience.
Missing out on another hurricane in Florida! :)
@@sheilamorrell6329 snow and cold??? It’s sunny and 19c in beautiful Niagara peninsula today. But snow isn’t far away. Unfortunately 😊❤
-14 and snow in deadmonton 🤦🏼♂️
So happy to see everyone getting comfortable with one another! A trip of a lifetime, never to be forgotten by your lucky guests. Thanks for letting us watch!
As a West Virginian it gives my heart joy when I hear the kids singing Country Roads. 🥰
I’m also from West Virginia, and loved hearing them all sing country roads. Safe travels ❤
Being an HVAC tech of 20+ years there was some interesting & impressive bits at the start of the vid ... being a musician of 25+ years I was even more impressed when I heard Finn's music ... another great Zatara video guys , awesome work all the way around !
When Keith and Renee first talked about bringing young teens aboard, I thought "Oh boy" but then I thought about Kate and how great it would be for to communicate with girls her own age and was pretty happy about that. Then I was concerned how males in Saudi would treat the non Arabian girls and was wrong about that as well. So as Renee said, "There are good and bad people every place you go" and so far, they are meeting the good ones! And that is very nice.
How enriched your childrens lives are. Sharing these adventures with others their age is awesome! So impressed with all of you.
Sorry to see Coleman go... I have a feeling he will regret his decision. We live, we learn. Best of luck to ya Coleman.
Well very nice translation, Renee. Lol..
Great to see everyone having a good time..
And the signing, i suggest that this boy should do some research in the meaning of this sign...
Enjoy the rest of the time together,
warm regards from the Netherlands
Omgosh, it is awesome to have watched Jack grow up and become a fine man. Dad you have taught him so much and he is so competent. Finn and Kate also have become fantastic young adults. Great parenting and values.
Just wow you guys. Love being allowed to be a part of your lives.

Jack, Mr. Ex-Lax is on the chill, yoo, foh-real-doe. I be feel'n yuh! Great learning experience Dad. Jack should be taking on more and more of these repairs and installs. It's good for him and way good for you. Thank you, Saudi Arabia, for taking such good care of our American, and Canadian, friends.
😂😊
@@SailingZatara Love you guys!! 👍
Gosh Jack is looking amazing. So cute and confident. He’s gonna make a great Captain.
I'm addicted to this channel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who else ?
What a great group of kids that has joined you on this adventure. I am really enjoying these episodes. Also enjoy seeing all your children maturing. Thank you for sharing this adventure with the world!
Was that Keith imitation of his héros Trump? "It's going to be big. It's going to be monumental. It's never been done before." Too funny. He even got the mini hands right. Roflol
I wouldn’t say Trump is his hero… Keith is an equal opportunity mocker!! 😂
It is good to see your new crew finding their footing and becoming a bigger part of the family. They add a new dimention to your videos and it is nice to see your guidance at work. Your oldest son is absolutely a good helper when it comes to crawling into small places and mounting new aircondition units. Keith and myself would both have needed the resque team to get out of the holes again, but Jack's trim figure and agility did the job just fine. Stay safe and have fun out there.
Don’t think for even one second that I missed Finn’s 6 string work at 15:05. That sounded great, and the way that it was worked into the edit was really smooth.
I think the translation of what Renee said is that "we are fed total bs about other countries, so go with what you observe." The kids are all beautiful and seem really joyous & good natured. I appreciate that you are letting them talk to the camera & being really judicious about personal stuff. I'm sure there's different bonds being formed, but I don't mind not knowing about them. You are playing it like a travelogue, not a reality show. Thanks!!!!!
This smash is especially for Jack who is proving to be an amazing asset
Renee, Hitler was born in Austria. The Austrians like to claim the Hitler was German and Beethoven was Austrian, but the opposite is the truth. Love your videos.
The Dutch translations at the end were hilarious!
Truly look forward every Thursday for the next video and sad when it's over. Fair winds and calm seas.
I think all of you are super awesome people. About the finger waving thing....Do it, and enjoy it. The world needs more fingers wavers out there...hehe. Stay safe everyone, and enjoy your time on the water.
Z crew you all are great. Changing so many lives for the better!
Great to have followed Jack on his growth to adulthood. You have a great family.
Wow!! The guests are loving the trip. So glad everyone bonded. Enjoy EVERY minute kids!!! This is a once in a lifetime trip...so jeally
Oklahoma Gal here again!! 🤣 I was in Texas/Oklahoma Tornado Area this past weekend visiting my little 90 yr old Dad … Be so thankful You were there and

Glad you're all nice and cool again, nice underwater shots too on the dive!
I was sad for Coleman leaving I was rooting for him since I don't live very far from where he from in Arizona.
Oranje Boven 🇳🇱 Fijn dat jullie het zo naar de zin hebben samen. Geniet er maar goed van. This is an one’s in a lifetime experience 🤙🏼
Oranje Boven.... because
Maura said so...btw that translation was spot on...amazing language skills...
A fantastic episode Zatara. Your diplomacy towards your host Country is exemplary. You promote peace and good will wherever you go. Great that you got your new aircons, and a brilliant effort for both Keith and Jack in getting them installed. I hope you continue to enjoy your excursion with your young guests on board. Fair winds, and God speed Zatara.
What a beautiful crew you have on board now. Very impressed with how good the air conditioners were installed. I don’t think there’s anything that Keith could not fix. And your sons are really good at helping. Glad to see you all are so happy and safe. Sending blessings and hugs on your journey love grandma Tampa
Oranje boven, Leuk Maura, ik volg Sailing Zatara al een tijdje.
Here in Victoria BC Diesel is super high due to our high taxes and the local US refinery down for maintenance. The cost 2.26 / liter! 4 liters to a gallon roughtly.
I love her reserved personality!!!
She doesn’t realize how beautiful she is which adds to her humbleness and magnifies her beauty
Whoever she settles with will be lucky 🍀
Who
@@roofless1440 I would say Kate. She is lovely. My son has a huge crush on her.😊
I’m intrigued that you say that the Red Sea is uncharted.
That’s so not so. My Great Uncle George Chisholm charted the Red Sea at the turn of the last century, ie 1900. We had the original soundings of the islands and reefs in a trunk in the loft of my parents house when we cleared it out in 2001. We sent the canvas rolls to the Greenwich Maritime Museum but never heard back from them.
These maps were so detailed and took years to make.
We even have reefs, islands and shoals named after our family.
True, those maps are way way out of date but they were mapped and sounded.
Loving your vlogs, new subscriber and will attempt to catch up with you vlogs!
Every best wish from Neil in Australia 🇦🇺
As always, well done! Sailing Zatara never disappoints!😀
The whole video is awesome as always Renee,. The closing "sentiment" segment was cool to hear how each of the new sailors were coping. When the Dutch girl was talking Dutch and we got English subtitles was so special and I chuckled when she said Renee didn't know a lick of Dutch!
Aren't you just proud of your two boys and the responsibilities they are willing to take on. You "done good" raising them.
I worked on a motor vessel (Seismic ship) as a medic, and I loved being in the Red Sea. We eventually went through the Sue and that was a great passage. So jealous and wish I was there again.
Every Thursday… in my school bus. I take a break and watch your videos. It’s a great habit
I’m very refreshed by your videos, Jeddah is one of the few places that you’ve cruised to that I’ve visited previously. I’m impressed by the awesome yacht club, my visits were over 20 years ago so I’m sure it’s very different in every way. The Saudi people are warm and friendly, the government I won’t comment about. Things have changed drastically with regards to personal freedoms in Saudi Arabia since I was there, you’re fortunate to visit in a much better time.
Thank you for sharing your sailing life, I love your family ❤
Had no idea thats where you stick the AC units on Zatara! Just wild how use of space has to be maximized on a Catamaran (or an RV) The secret sauce of Team Zatara is of course Keith and his skills at Repair and Replacement of Boat Machinery and Tech. The Designers of Yachts just assume repair will be done by Expensive paid labor with checks written by of course uber wealthy owners. The reality of course is different I know not everyone who owns a boat is mega rich and if you want to make it work sure helps to have a Keith on board and a son Jack who can learn from the Best! Highly recommend a rewatch of Ep 190 "Seriously, is there anything he CAN'T fix?" That ep shows just what skills are needed in the Money Pits of the Mobile lifestyle (Boats and RVs the Land Yachts).
Great Episode and kudos to the other secret to this channels success Renee, who just keeps this ongoing Saga engaging & entertaining with Top-level Video skills!
You can always say you were "the first boat ever to do this"! Amazing
You need to have adult (as in your age) guests coming aboard! I will relieve you of cooking duties, Renee!
Hello zatara sailing I'm glad you got your AC units replaced so you will be more comfortable on the boat. Thank you Keith for you and Renee inviting a group of kids to have the experience of a lifetime I can see on your smiles how happy they are teach them everything you can maybe one day they will take up sailing on their own. You know all the kids have a good time stay safe and healthy always God bless all of you
Yeah ! Finn music ! So good to hear original compositions. Thank you.
I was hoping Coleman would stay at the last moment. The empty bunk scene was kind of teasing him I thought. All in good fun
Ethan keep being a great example, Brother.
WOW, Keith makes 17k a month from RUclips for this channel. That’s over 200k a year. They are worth over 1.2 million. Also, they have patrons and supporters. I just don’t understand why they don’t wear Sperrys to protect their feet while sailing.
Bless him Coleman was missing his mommy
He has a girlfriend!
@@lindapearson3411 you can have a GF and still miss mommy
What a great idea to have the guests on board. They will create a bond that they will never forget that experience. It will be sad when they leave. Lucky "kids"! Keith and Renee: you rock!
Oranje boven nice to see a Dutch girl on the boat
So I’m not sure if you could use these units but there are such things as standalone air conditioners. You could’ve easily put two or three of those units in your boat if you are docked you probably could’ve hooked them up to the power vented them out the port hole to provide a supplemental relief if you could find them in that country.
The red sea was my favorite place to dive. I hope you guys love it
Renée - you're very right. Every country in the world has its' issues. In my extensive travels (KSA included) I have found that "the people" are pretty much the same the world over. All they want is a nice happy and healthy life. Its the rulers who are always the problem. What to do?!? Also - please be aware that as you approach the Aqaba area, you might have to check about flying your drone. It is a heavily militarised place, and so for the avoidance of any issues - check first, as Drones are largely forbidden in the region. Also (I have so many things I could mention!!!) Kate is positively glowing. Its so nice that she has girls with who she can connect. The difference is impressive. You're great parents, and I salute y'all!! (Off to `KSA myself this week, maybe...)
The kids are just amazing. What a joy to see them develop deep friendship and shared experiences. What a Blessing Zatara brings to all of us (your fans). Grateful to be able to come along for the Adventure!
Oranje boven. I love the little dutch parts from Maura! De groeten terug!
Love all your videos. Hope all is well. Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊😊😊
I've been watching this family since the start of the Big Catamaran era and in the span of 3 months seen 5 years worth of the kids growing into young adults. Keith and Renee can be proud of their kids and themselves. 😎
Yeah, I did the same thing. Recently found them and proceeded to binge watch years over a couple weeks. It was interesting to see everything and everyone. My Kids are 21 and 19, I kept thinking what a great video log of everyone’s life to have and treasure forever!!
There is good in many people and places We just need people to want to enjoy life and experience the good things that we all can share Life's short Live it :) Keep on sailing
Oranja boven, Super dat je dit zo aan durft het leek mij ook geweldig maar te bang om zo lang van huis te zijn.
