Past Cruising
Garrett grew up in Hawaii and has done a lot of ocean cruising, but this video highlighted his first actual ocean crossing:
What an incredible life experience!
Affording It
Garrett worked numerous jobs as a teenager to buy his sailing yacht for cash. He didn’t have rich parents or a trust fund to go sailing.
Net Worth
Garrett’s Adventure only has a net worth of $45,000 (the value of his yacht + his YouTube channnel) but he’s living in complete freedom.
Making Loot
Garrett has only just kicked off his YouTube channel, but I imagine he’ll be making $2,000 to $3,500 per month by 2024.
Collaborations
I haven’t seen him on any other channels, but a collab with Sam Holmes would be epic!
Big Moments
He’s done numerous crossings and upwind sailing, and fortunately, nothing scary has happened (yet!)
Future Plans
I imagine Garrett wants to sail around the world one day, just like myself. *watch this space*
Key Takeaways
What can we learn from Garrett’s story?
➜ Life is too short for mortgages
➜ Stay humble and focused on the dream
➜ Make the most of your youth
➜ Be rational with your decisions
And solo ocean crossings are very much possible, even if you’re just a teenager.
Conclusion
Garrett’s ocean crossings have inspired me, just as he has inspired thousands of people. He’s definitely someone I look forward to crossing paths with one day.
