$1,000,000 Mega Yacht VS $23,000 Sailboat (Same View, Different Perspective)

- One day while in Virgin Gorda in the BVI's. I was enjoying life, going to the beach, kiteboarding, and having fun from my sailboat. Then I watch an exceedingly wealthy man do everything I'd done, except..... less. And it dawned on me. "This guy is spending more than I make in a year, each week, and he's not having half as much fun as I am(he didn't smile much). So it inspired me to look at both our boat based lifestyle and make a comparison, albeit with a huge amount of bias towards my budget based lifestyle. But what I came away with was a whole new appreciation for my life. And the ultimate realization that my youth was my greatest asset, and something that no amount of money can buy. So for that, I am truly fortunate. Even as I eat ramen noodle for dinner 4x per week. I am truly fortunate. And would not trade my place with any old rich man, for what I have here and now!
It's my hope that this video inspires others to get out and sail or adventure while they still can. Or for those already on the water, to have a new found appreciation for what they have. And to cherish it.

Hello & welcome! I'm Daniel aka "Adventureman Dan." I've been living on the edge, from one adventure to another for the past nine years. Stating in Central California with my first GoPro, through SoCal, Baja, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Alaska and throughout the whole USA. But for the past five years on my sailboat "Adventureborne" I'm open to unlimited possibilities of where I can go, and what I can do!

😂 i haven't left the boatyard yet but next week im installing the 200$ washing machine and the 139$ water heater . My 30 footer thinks it's a 44 🎉
What kind of washer and water heater? And where? Looking for a small washer and heater for my 33 foot boat
What kind of washing machine do you have? Difficult when there's no washing machine with spinner if you are in the jungle always raining, we are currently in Kinabatangan River in Borneo.
VEVOR made those things,
Jump on the Chinese knock off bandwagon before the war . 😁
Nice 👍
Did it in my 30 th for 4 years, completely autonomous, solar panels, rain water etc.... now 30 years later I am trying to relive this but will not be the same, Nice that you are young, changes in a blink of an eye, believe me. Love your video.
Thanks for sharing
you’re living the dream, that peace and quiet
peace and quiet is a most undervalued quality in modern society
Cheers buddy, I'm sure trying. :)
You keep churning out Awe inspiring videos man. Thanks a bunch for that ... and greetings from Rio de Janeiro.
How is it there?
Hey thanks buddy, I do try!
Dan...love it brother! A lifestyle I've been working towards! Awesome video my friend!
I love your life. Why oh why didn't I try to do this sooner. I'm still gonna before I'm 50 but damn..... I should have done this years ago. People like you, Laura Landers, Delos, Atticus and the new comers Patrick and Michaela have made me realize one thing. I'm missing life as it rolls right on pass me with working every day. I tip my hat and beer to all of you that live life to its fullest on this journey.
Well said, great channels and cheers buddy. hope you get out here soon. :)
You are an inspiration man. I dig your videos, your attitude, your content, and your vibe.
Awesome! Thank you!
Love your channel and as a 50 year old man everything you said is true about what to do with our time and money doesn’t make you happy. If I didn’t have my moms left I would probably do something like you but when they are gone watch out hahaha
This might be your best video yet. Great work. You are truly a free man. I'll be there soon.
Cheers buddy!
Great video Dan! After 19 years of living and traveling aboard, my wife and I sometimes forget just how great we have it. Something to think about, however, is that despite the fact that we all have a dark shadow, none of us needs to kill in order to feel alive. I have heard you mention it before how dead all the reefs are in the Caribbean. As someone who also used to identify as self sufficient, while endlessly slaughtering animals on the reef, I have to ask you: Is it possible to provision our boats (ours is also 38 feet) with loads of good food --and let the last struggling remants of reef animals recover from all of our abuse? I hope you're doing well after that bout of Dengue.
Right on brother
Right on
I've worked on those $300m 250 ft mega yachts and I grew up with my dad's $60k 32 ft. I love both and have just as much fun on both but for different reasons. It's like trying to compare in-n-out to Ruth's Chris steak House.
Exactly! Well put.
nice work bro enjoying what you have
Great episode
Cheers buddy!
I have no idea how to sail and yet I can't stop looking for a used sailboat to rehab and head south. 😏
Many have sailed far by buying a boat and THEN learning. Though I don't personally recommend this process.
@@Adventureman_Dan I'm starting with a used Hobie I just bought. My plan is to learn the basics on that. Then evaluate my next move.
Lol, amd here I am in rural WV where the average income is $14,000 a year and thinking I would much rather have your boat then a yacht.
I might need to buy land there next then! :)
Another lovely video.
You are so kind
You live an amazing life.
Both of ours is. :)
The nicest places and people are usually at the end of the worst roads.
Mind you, maybe you already have it, but I would recommend you try and build up a little wealth for when you want to do something else. One of the things about all that time is that things change. You change.
Well said, and good advice!
With all the boat yards you surely have access to you can’t find the parts to fix your anchor wench or at least a used one.
I'm currently creating the ideal cruising boat (in my mind and on Google Drive) The hot shower, washer, and air conditioning would be a necessity and what I'm researching is what appliances are symbiotic... and the thermal waste from one is the power for another. Like a Tesla, I'm trying to scavenge any heat via "plate" heat exchangers to an insulated hot water tank. Many electrical appliances have waste heat (refrigerators, freezers, motors, Air Con (mini-splits). Even the PV solar panels would be happier with less heat. I'll let you know if I come up with a reasonable schematic. At anchor, I'll need a heat sink after the hot water tank is hot, so I guess a salt water hot tub will be next.
That's really cool! Let me know.
Dan, I am headed that way in my Hunter 31 soon. Hope to cross paths.
Cheers buddy, that'd be great!
I love your videos! Super inspiring! What boat do you have?
I will always take the more simple way.
Don’t get me wrong I’d love to own one of the silent electric yachts but also being able to just enjoy life on a small budget that allows you to make memories sounds better.
One thing I’m thankful for is I am not materialistic. I downsize what I own all the time to only keep what I really need. Which will come in handy for the day that I finally end up on a boat.
Well said, well said!
Nice video
Thanks
Thank you so much for the video. I have been travel around US on my RV and planning to do it one more year. I want to be where you are after next year, but I don't know much about sailing. The plan is next year is to buy a small trailer sail boat like a Catalina 25. learn to sail on it for one year then move to blue water.
Excellent plan. I will be traveling around the USA in a camper with my twin teenage daughters in the summer of 2026. In 2027 I will sell the camper and buy a sailboat. I plan to live my retirement on it. I have sailing experience but you can learn most of the basics on that Catalina 25 you plan on getting. Best of luck to you and happy sailing.
Glad it was helpful! And that is a very solid plan. Also find a sailing mentor if you can. That helped me a ton!
To sum it up: You have more fun!
Making me want to get a boat more and more dan.
Good!
I have a 2001 Toyota Tacoma four-wheel-drive extended cab with almost 300,000 miles on it. It’s the six cylinder five speed with a stick. A very desirable truck, and I absolutely love it. But I don’t go around, comparing it to Cadillac Escalade’s. Trying to understand why you feel the need to justify your sailing experience, or why you’re even comparing your boat to mega yachts.
Guess it's just a boat thing. You land people wouldn't get it..... lol
But actually, a gold chromed out monster truck next to your Tacoma would be a more apt comparison.
What gave you the impression that I am a land person? I have lived in South Florida my whole life. I’ve owned two sailboats. Multiple Boston whaler type boats. I kayaked from Chokoloskee to flamingo twice. Once solo. Chart and compass only. I was a treasure diver for 4 years. 200+ tank dives. I could go on, but you get my point. Stay safe out there.
this is the best vid
Number 5 is wrong. Superyachts can stay out and be self sufficient for weeks at a time. They can carry more food and provisions than small boats and a full tank of fuel will last a long time unless they’re constantly motoring for long periods like Atlantic crossing.
Do you have a water maker on your boat?
Also you got your total privacy on your budget sail boat that is a huge difference
For sure!
Thank you
You're welcome
Hope you're feeling better chief
Slowly but surly!
@@Adventureman_Dan r u safe from the hurricane
As a new water Enthusiast, can i enjoy life in a manner you do, by Buying Elcat GoSun Inflatable boat. How would you Improve such a Boat to make one truely FULFILLED😅😅???
Those look soo cool! I'd have fun with one!
N°1- Carbon footprint !
A lot of Yacht owners hardly ever go out on the water. There's no time, they're off earning money. What a waste! The planet doesn't need people burning fuel and wasting its resources like building boats that they hardly use( or cars or whatever).
We need environmentally friendly people on this planet!
Apples and oranges, Mate.
Actually, it oranges and apples. :)
@@Adventureman_Dan heh heh fair enough.
❤
Do you have boat insurance? You Said you do not need to ask permission from anyone to go where you want. Thats why i Ask because boat insurance seems to Be quite difficult to get For The whole caribbean For example
You don't need insurance living on the hook. Marinas usually require insurance. Insuring a 25k boat doesn't get you much, it's more like insuring your ability to get rescued if everything goes wrong.
The other comment by slory17 hit the nail on the head.
How is your income, how did u creted it and how much how long etc
I don't make much. but enough to get by and enjoy this lifestyle.
If I had multi millions I'd buy a decommissioned warship or a tallship, I think superyachts are kind of boring, if you want to live comfortably you have houses on land for that.
I love that! Go for it!
good analysis of the differences, but one critical difference is that a number of the mega yachts are full of hot babes and chics and good times. you're boating by yourself, can be sad and lonely even in "paradise"
When I have anyone on my boat, I know they are not there for my money. :)
you are wrong about one thing
not all humans have the ability to survive in water 😂
And an Apple is not an Orange...!
Mega yacht guy has to have a mega payroll for crew just to move his boat and keep it safe. We do not. Can you images having to pay for a Captain and crew every time you wanted to move your boat? Not only that but I believe something that big you got to crew it with a skipper and engineer every fracking day weather you are on it or not.
Completely correct!
Dan.... can you put/have A/C on that kool 34' er ?
38'er but yes if I really wanted to.
I’d take the 1mln dollar boat anyway, I’m sure any woman will agree 😂
Haha, for sure!
Sorry dude, but financial freedom trumps your ‘true’ freedom. But good that you’re happy.
While sailing I have a total average monthly living expense of $500 or less. I am free. I just don't need to make as much as most. :)
@@Adventureman_Dan i understand what you’re saying. But you link freedom to ‘what you need’ and you call that ‘true’ freedom’. I would argue that ‘true’ freedom stretches beyond being able to get what you need, but also what you want. And i’m not just referring to material possessions, but the financial freedom to do everything you want without having to worry about the money.
What sailboat do you sail? Is it a good sailboat?
1984 Beneteau Idylle, and every sailor thinks they have the best sailboat, and none of them are wrong. :)
@@Adventureman_Dan Thank you
😀😀
Also, lower repair costs
100%!
A grown man can't be asking permission for this stuff. Independant small boat is way better.
For sure!
This is sad!
When I was cruising the best thing about the lifestyle was that there was NO comparing.
No one was poor, no one was rich, there were no classes. Sure there were beautiful yachts but never comparison just admiration and friendly faces where ever you met them.
It really saddens me to hear your comparison. I'd be a lot happier if you described the wonderful time you had from meeting the people from these beautiful yachts.
Eh, I like to make videos with a variety of perspectives.
@@Adventureman_Dan That wasn't perspective, that was jealousy in it's pure ugly form.
Do you ever sail ?
Ahhhh, yes, it's how I move my boat. lol
Meh two different vessels, two different experiences and safety features not to mention two different group experiences. I and the majority will choose the yatch every time. Video was comparing apples to oranges and tried to justify being broke.
some weird cope in this description
Sorry the emissions for your solar setup was created diring production and getting it to you. Do not be a hypocrit.
Looks like you missed the point.
@@Adventureman_Dan they definitely miss the point🎉
