Everything You Always Wanted To Know
Joshua Smith
Founder and Editor at Cruising Freedom
This is the definitive guide on Sailing Satori for 2023.
Over the last several years, I have spent many hours watching and researching everything I could about Sailing Satori to learn more about their story.
(Yes, I really am *that* obsessed with Nick and Kelly 😃)
If you wanted to know:
➜ How Sailing Satori afforded their boat
➜ How they make their money today
➜ What boat do they have and its upgrades
➜ If Kelly offers extra footage
➜ How you can start crossing oceans
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… 🙂
Sailing Satori FAQs (April 2023)

Crew Members
Nick Johnson (age 42)
Kelly Porter (age 39)
Arthur is their dog who is 9 years old.
The Boat
Sailing Satori has a 1989 Morgan 44 Center cockpit. Check out the boat tour:
Upgrades
They have upgraded the water maker and electronics.
Location
They are currently in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
Past Cruising
In previous episodes, they have sailed throughout the Caribbean and the British Virgin Islands.
Affording It
Nick worked hard for years as an engineer and consultant, and eventually started his own business. He saved up as much as he could.
Meanwhile, Kelly owned her own dance studio which she later sold to partly fund the purchase of their boat.
Net Worth
Sailing Satori has a net worth of $730,000.
Making Loot
You can book to go cruising on their boat, either for a day or several days. This makes an excellent opportunity to both learn sailing, but also hang out with these awesome YouTubers!
This is one way that they’re making loot. Another way is through their YouTube channel.
Income streams include:
➜ Ads on their YouTube channel
➜ Amazon affiliate links
➜ Running their own Patreon
➜ Gaining brand partnerships
I estimate this represents $2,600/month in revenue.
Collaborations
Despite how social they are, I haven’t seen them featured on any other YouTube channels.
They are very similar to Beau and Brandy Sailing if you wanted to check out other YouTubers who are cruising full-time.
Big Moments
Things haven’t been easy as they have:
➜ Experienced a fire in their hull
➜ Busting a chainplate in a squall
➜ Getting a diesel bug in their banks
➜ Rescuing a guy in Dry Tortugas
Most days are pretty calm for them.
Future Plans
They are planning to stay close to the United States.
This is because of their aging parents.
Key Takeaways
What can we learn from this beautiful couple?
➜ Be willing to learn the ropes
➜ Take time to enjoy the experience
➜ Work towards your freedom today
➜ You don’t need to wait until age 65
and of course, for the gents, you have to find a beautiful mermaid just like Kelly! 😀
Conclusion
I’ve really enjoyed their simple yet sophisticated journey on a sailboat.
They’ve kept things as simple as possible to make their dream a reality.
Now it’s your turn…
