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:

➜ Inspire others to dream big
But more on that later… 🙂
La Lido Loca FAQs (December 2023)
Crew Members
Anthony ‘Tony’ Barnette (age 45)
Jenny Barnette (age 44)
They have been married for more than 10 years and when they aren’t cruising, they reside in Spring Hill, Florida
Location
It’s hard to know their exact location right now as they’re always on the move! 😃
Past Cruising
They are no strangers to cruising, having visited more than 50 countries so far! They also run group cruises these days.
If it’s your first time cruising, then I’d start with one of these!
Affording It
How do they afford to keep traveling so much? Well, not having children helps, but Tony and Jenny simply worked hard in their younger years, spending their spare money on cruisers.
They eventually realized that they could turn their passion into a lucrative income stream.
Net Worth
In the past 20 years, they’ve certainly leveled up a ton!
As of 2023, La Lido Loca has a net worth of $1,300,000 USD.
This is based upon the value of their car, online business and stock portfolio.
Mind you, many of their followers easily have 2-3x more finances behind them.
They have publicly stated that they rent their Florida home as it’s more convenient for them.
Making Loot
I’m conservatively estimating that La Lido Loca makes $12,000/month with their highly engaging YouTube channel. It’s probably higher than that, but anyway.
They do talk about their experiences as full time cruisers in this video:
Their main revenue streams are:
➜ YouTube ad revenue (a premium audience means that YouTube pays so incredibly well)
➜ Affiliate links to book cruises
➜ Selling their Patreon memberships
➜ Offering their exclusive merchandise
They have avoided any clickbaitey content or heavy commercialization.
Collaborations
I have seen Tony and Jenny hang out with numerous other cruisers.
Big Moments
During their journey, they have dealt with:
➜ Annoying passengers
➜ Cruise cancellations
➜ Been targetted by scammers
Their biggest joy comes from being the ‘voice’ of the cruising industry so to speak, alongside Gary Bembridge.
Future Plans
Tony and Jenny have zero plans to stop creating.
Their YouTube channel fulfills them with an incredible amount of joy!
Key Takeaways
What can we learn? A ton actually…
➜ You can turn your passion into a small and profitable online business
➜ Start creating with the simple tools you have available
➜ Be upfront with your audience
➜ Don’t forget to have fun along the way
And life is too short for the 60-hour cubicle job!
Conclusion
Tony and Jenny have become incredible voices within the cruising industry. I do look forward to crossing paths with them one day!
