The Boat

I can’t recall which boat they own.

Location

Most of her fishing is in South America or Florida.

She has gone fishing in most places around the world.

However, she is quite secretive about these spots. I might happen to know their GPS locations.

Making Loot

She makes $17,600/month through:

➜ Royalties from the fishing TV show

But no – she doesn’t do OnlyFans. She could probably double her income overnight if she offered it, but she prefers to keep some things private.

She’s done a few girls’ trips with other famous influencers.

She hasn’t created controversy, drawn criticism or gotten arrested. Instead, she has just focused on providing awesome content that’s pleasant to watch. 🙂

What can we learn from this beautiful soul?

➜ Women make excellent anglers!

➜ Simply be yourself on social media

Daniel Mann Spearfishing FAQs (April 2023)

I’m trying to make this as accurate as possible. If you have more info then let me know.

He isn’t married nor does he have a girlfriend.

Location

He is currently in Brisbane, Australia, but holds dual citizenship with the UK.

Past Fishing

Daniel has been fishing around the world for years.

However, most of his fishing spots are a closely-guarded secret to avoid the crowds spoiling the place. 👍

Affording It

Daniel worked full-time and went spearfishing on weekends and during his holidays away from work.

Over time, he kept creating more and more content and became popular on YouTube.

The secret to his success? Just consistent and challenging work to create proper and realistic videos about the realities of spearfishing.

I haven’t seen him collaborate with other YouTubers apart from friends of his.

That said, he put together this very helpful video:

Personally, I learned a ton from this and highly recommend you check that one out.

Jiggin’ with Jordan: Net Worth, Age and Wife and Earnings (2023)

Everything You Always Wanted To Know

Joshua Smith

Founder and Editor at Cruising Freedom

This is the definitive guide on Jiggin’ with Jordan for 2023.

Then you’ve definitely come to the right place.

Before we start, a quick introduction from me…

The Cruising Freedom Author

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… 🙂

Jiggin’ with Jordan FAQs (April 2023)

I’ve tried to make this article as accurate as possible. If you have additional information, then please let me know.

Crew Members

Brandon Jordan (age 32) from the United States.

He’s not married and has only had one past relationship.

The Boat

Brandon Jordan owns a jet ski and jet-powered boat which came from the Googan Squad.

Location

Most of his ocean fishing videos are filmed in Florida or the Bahamas, but he now lives in Texas.

Past Fishing

While I may have his GPS coordinates, I wouldn’t want to give them out to anyone… 😉

But towards the bottom of this article as I may have a free gift for you.

Affording It

He’s been creating content for many years after leaving college and was able to go full-time on YouTube around 4 years ago.

Net Worth

Young YouTubers are becoming quite wealthy…

As of 2023, Jiggin’ with Jordan has a net worth of $920,000.

This is based on his channel metrics, expected business revenue and personal investments. He was able to purchase his own property due to the popularity of his channel.

Making Loot

So then, how exactly does he make his money on YouTube?

➜ He gets routine brand sponsorships due to 3m subscribers

➜ He allows YouTube to put their ads on his videos

➜ You can also buy official Jiggin’ with Jordan merchandise

With those 3 revenue streams, Jiggin’ with Jordan is making around $27,000/month on YouTube. Quite impressive!

Many fishing brands have reached out to him for collaboration, but he rejects most of them. When you have the audience that he has, you can definitely afford to be a little picky!

Collaborations

I have seen him with several other YouTubers but none as popular as himself.

Big Moments

Brendan has experienced:

➜ The police have been called on him more than once

➜ He’s recovered a ton of expensive gear in rivers

But the best experience was this rescue:

It’s clear where his heart is at.

Future Plans

While Brendan isn’t planning to sail around the world anytime soon, he does want to inspire many of us to live our best lives!

Key Takeaways

What can we learn from this legend?

➜ Be willing to get your hands dirty

➜ Nice guys actually do finish first

➜ Work towards your own freedom

➜ Always be real with your audience

And your time to start living is NOW!

Conclusion

Brendan is a legend withing the scuba and fishing community on YouTube and social media.

It’s raw, real and doesn’t hold back. He has avoided any click-bait bikinis and simply exists to serve his audience with cool finds, stories and experiences.

I certainly hope he never stops producing content!

Vicky Stark FAQs (April 2023)

Boat Name

I can’t recall what she calls the boat. If you do have information, then please reach out to me.

Crew Members

Victoria Stark (age 34) otherwise known as Vicky, and she is married to Brian.

Sorry boys – you’ll have to look elsewhere.

The Boat

To be updated

Location

Almost all of Vicky Star’s YouTube videos are filmed in Miami, Florida. She hasn’t really traveled overseas apart from Mexico and The Bahamas.

Vicky Missing

It’s clear that Vicky Stark was missing for months off YouTube.

Some claim that she breached their community guidelines due to nudity content.

If you have any additional information, please let me know via my contact page.

Then again, she did come online again recently:

Keep in mind that you can still find her active on Instagram if you need your daily fix. 😍

Fishing Spots

Many people have been asking for her best fishing spots. I’ve had to keep the GPS coordinates to myself…unless you ask nicely. 😉

Affording It

How does Vicky afford to fish all the time? It’s because she’s well-paid as a content creator and has been fishing for years.

In the past, she worked retail normal jobs but preferred to be out fishing, so she made YouTube her full-time income and the rest is history!

Net Worth

Today in 2023, Vicky Stark’s net worth is $650,000.

This is based on the value of her boat and online business which gives her the freedom to do as she pleases.

Making Loot

She makes her money through:

➜ Ads on her channel (I think it’s been demonetized)

➜ Donations via Cash App, PayPal and Venmo

But she makes most of her content through monthly subscribers, also known as nude PPV content.

Vicky Stark’s OnlyFans account makes her around $17,500/month. She provides additional content that’s much more naughty than her YouTube bikini shots. You can find leaked copies of her ONlyFans, but I recommend supporting her if you enjoy her fishing adventures.

Collaborations

She has hung out with many other fishing YouTubers, but no one from the cruising community.

Big Moments

She hasn’t drawn any criticism, controversy or drama from her channel. It’s always been simply about fun and fishing.

This is one of her most popular videos:

It definitely became a fan-favourite!

Future Plans

Where to next? She loves Miami and doesn’t desire to travel anywhere soon. Sorry to the single men waiting overseas for her to sail over… 😅

Conclusion

While I’m not so into fishing, Vicky has made that content easier to watch. She knows her audience well and has captivated the hearts of many!

Create Your Own Cruising Freedom

➜ Own a catamaran debt-free

Harbors Unknown FAQs (April 2023)

Boat Name

S/V Wanderlust

Crew Members

Kristin Potenti (age 42)

Fabio Potenti (age 51)

Yoda is their dog.

The Boat

Harbors Unknown have a 2020 Seawind 1600 catamaran.

This is one of my favourite catamarans, and my next boat will be the 1190 Sport version.

Strangely enough, very few other YouTubers have chosen Seawind catamarans, but the most popular are Sailing Ruby Rose.

Upgrades

They have upgraded their boat with several options from the Seawind catalogue.

Location

They are currently in The Bahamas and plan to stay here for some time. It does appear that they’re relatively up to date on their YouTube videos.

Past Cruising

They have previously sailed through most of the United States but this was on previous monohulls that they owned.

Affording It

Fabio worked as a marketing officer while Kristin worked at an advertising agency. They were stuck in the daily grind but without children, they were able to save up enough to purchase their catamaran for cash.

Previous to this, they owned a Beneteau Oceanhis 473 and a Dragonfly 35 Trimaran.

Net Worth

Harbors Unknown has a net worth of $1,570,000.

This is estimated based on the value of their boat, business income and assumed personal savings.

Making Loot

They do take their content on YouTube seriously and do make around $4,500/month off the channel.

They do this through:

➜ Using Amazon affiliate links

➜ Allowing ads on their videos

➜ Running a Patreon account

They do have a sponsorship deal with BetterHelp. With their number of subscribers, it’s a good time to reach out for more sponsorship deals.

Collaborations

I haven’t seen them with any other YouTubers, but they did hang out with Cruising World at the Annapolis Boat Show:

Big Moments

They have been fortunate to have a relatively easy journey so far. Of course, I wish them safe winds and following seas.

Future Plans

Their next plan is to head to the South Pacific and eventually make their way to Australia.

Key Takeaways

What can we learn from this beautiful couple?

➜ It’s OK to buy an expensive catamaran

➜ You need to shop around (as I’ve done!)

➜ Plan for the future, but start it all today

➜ Find someone who’ll share your wanderlust

And of course, don’t sail with a schedule.

Conclusion

While they might be small on YouTube, they’re on a Seawind! These vessels are light, fast and affordable.

I’m surprised that so many YouTubers aren’t choosing these boats. I know I certainly will be!

Until then…

They have touched every inch of this boat through projects and upgrades including (but not limited to) a mast rebuild, bulwark conversion, fridge rebuild, quarter berth remodel, head remodel, galley remodel, nav station remodel, dodger build, major haul out (linked here) lithium battery build, and more!

Location

They are currently in California and doing more boat work.

Past Cruising

They have mostly sailed in the Bahamas and United States.

Affording It

How did they afford their boat right after college? Well, they worked hard (60 hours/week) and saved a lot. By paying off their student loans and having a budget-friendly wedding, they were able to save enough for their simple yacht on the water.

Net Worth

Sailing Avocet has an estimated net worth of $370,000 as of 2023.

Making Loot

They might be a smaller channel but they do take YouTube seriously.

➜ They run ads on their channel

➜ They link out to Amazon via affiliate links

➜ They also receive a few dollars from Patreon

That said, YouTube isn’t their primary source of income and they don’t publish as much as other channels do.

Marissa owns a digital marketing firm called Fair Winds Media (100% remote agency and highly recommended!) while Chris works as a cinematographer.

Collaborations

I have seen them sailing with SV Prism (Chris’ older brother) who are slowly growing their YouTube channel. Avocent was also featured with David Shih (a friend of mine) and Expedition Evans at the Annapolis Boat Show recently.

Big Moments

They haven’t really experienced anything bad, controversial or disastrous in their few years on YouTube.

I highly respect that they’ve avoided all the click-bait drama that some other channels have. They simply focused on the boat work that had to be done.

Future Plans

Where to next? Right now they’re planning on leaving California and heading to Mexico, and fingers crossed they’ll tackle the South Pacific in 2023.

Key Takeaways

What can we learn from this young couple?

➜ Find the right partner to have by your side

➜ If you’re young, your career can wait

➜ Work towards common goals starting today

➜ Freedom is found by working remotely

Conclusion

I really like these smaller YouTubers who have a unique sailing vessel. They have leaned in to do as much boat work as they can, and have inspired many of us younger adults to get out there and explore the world!

Sailing Salty Mermaid FAQs (April 2023)

Boat Name

S/V Salty Mermaid

Crew Members

Austin Jensen (age 35)

Niki Jensen (age 34)

They are from Arizona but have lived in Florida.

The Boat

I’m not sure what their yacht was but it seemed like a Hunter.

The Accident

First, they got a hole in their boat (after hitting a drawbridge) so they headed to the docks to have it lifted out by crane.

This part was no problem, but they then needed another lift crane to get the mast off.

Unfortunately, the crane toppled over and destroyed their boat (and the crane) which marked the end of their YouTube channel.

Fortunately, they had insurance coverage that covered the boat.

Today in 2023

Niki Jensen has become a massive social media influencer on Instagram:

Together with Austin, they own Warrior Company.

Past Cruising

Before the accident, they had only briefly sailed in US waters.

Affording It

They both worked hard for several years to purchase their boat.

Net Worth

Austin and Niki Jensen has a net worth of $570,000 based on their business income. Today they’re located in Arizona and own two successful businesses.

Making Loot

They made money through:

➜ Ads running on their YouTube

➜ Their Patreon subscribers

They were aspiring to make some money from their channel, but after the boat accident, they decided to crate their own eCommerce brands.

Key Takeaways

What can we learn?

➜ Shop for the perfect boat

➜ Work hard for the dream

➜ Face the setbacks head-on

➜ Don’t let others judge you

And of course, find the perfect partner!

Conclusion

The Sailing Salty Mermaid channel was a very short-lived experience that sadly ended with the total destruction of their boat.

That said, in 2022, they are on a new journey that
