This is the definitive guide on Accidental Sailor Girl for 2023.
Over the last several years, I have spent many hours watching and researching everything I could about Accidental Sailor Girl to learn more about their story.
(Yes, I really am *that* obsessed with Kourtney 😃)
If you wanted to know:
➜ How Accidental Sailor Girl afforded her boat
➜ How they make their money today
➜ What boat do they have and its upgrades
➜ Will she ever come back to Youtube
➜ How you can start crossing oceans
Then you’ve definitely come to the right place.
Before we start, a quick introduction from me…

Ahoy, Matey! I’m Joshua from Australia.
I’ve built the perfect business to sail the world.
A business model which can allow me to:
➜ Own a catamaran debt-free
➜ Go for weeks without WIFI
➜ Create semi-passive income
➜ Inspire others to dream big
But more on that later… 🙂

Kourtney Patterson (age 25) who is originally from Florida.
The Boat
This was a gaff cutter rig.
Final Message
This was her final message on YouTube after many years of sailing:

Making Loot
Kourtney made her money with:
➜ Sales of her book on Amazon
➜ Monthly donations via Patreon
➜ She also sold some of her art and music
Collaborations
I didn’t see her with any other YouTubers, but if you miss her content, check out White Spot Pirates. She is also a solo female sailor.
Big Moments
She wasn’t click-baitey and didn’t have any dramas while sailing, either by herself or with a crew.
Future Plans
She is now doing van life (with a VW Kombi) and has sold her boat.
Key Takeaways
What can we learn?
➜ Remain in the moment
➜ Believe in the impossible
➜ Work hard for your dreams
➜ Change your plans as needed
And of course, tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.
Conclusion
Kourtney was ready for some change, and has since sold her boat. I would love to see her continue with her down-to-earth YouTube content.
It felt raw, real and empowering at the same time.
Hopefully she starts a new channel really soon!
