But more on that later… 🙂

The Boat
Jessica And Ryan Adventures own a Lagoon 410 which cost them $160,000.
Upgrades
Upgrades to their catamaran include:
➜ New watermaker
➜ New cushions
➜ New drawers and mirrors
They also had to repaint the bottom
Location
They are currently in The Bahamas:
Their videos are only a few days behind, unlike most other YouTubers who are often months behind.
Past Cruising
Jessica and Ryan have focused on sailing through the Bahamas and the United States. They have also done the USVI and Caribbean.
Affording It
Before having kids, Ryan worked in his corporate job while Jess was a nurse for several years. The boat was purchased in 2017 right when cruising channels were becoming very popular on YouTube but fortunately, they only paid $160,000 for their catamaran. They didn’t take out a loan and simply paid with their personal savings.
They previously talked about their cruising budget here:
Net Worth
Today in 2022, Jessica and Ryan Adventures are worth $550,000 based on their boat value, personal savings and business revenue.
Making Loot
They treat their channel seriously and make money through:
➜ Selling their own t-shirts via Teespring
➜ Offering their own Patreon subscription
➜ Using Amazon Associates links in their video description
➜ Allowing YouTube to run ads on their channel
It’s estimated that they make $4,300/month with this strategy. Unfortunately, their website is lacking an SSL certificate and is not able to be accessed. By fixing this, they could add an additional $1,000 to $2,000 to their online business revenue.
Collaborations
Have they been on other channels? Not really. Unless I’m mistaken, I haven’t seen them do any collabs but I’m excited to see one!
Big Moments
Probably the coolest moment in their journey is meeting a guy who is riding his jet ski around the world:
Future Plans
Where to next? Well, having children certainly delayed their plans for a global circumnavigation, but they’re looking to explore the South Pacific in the next few years.
Key Takeaways
What can we learn?
➜ Find a cheap Lagoon 🙂
➜ Be willing to refit it yourself
➜ Having a baby on board is easier than you might think
➜ Don’t be afraid to quit your job
Above all else, take things slowly!
Conclusion
I have really enjoyed their stories, knowledge and vlogs to date. They have been able to afford to go sailing despite being on a lean budget, and there is certainly more to come!
