If you wanted to know:
➜ How Sailing Tangaroa afforded their boat
➜ How they make their money today
➜ What boat do they have and its upgrades
➜ Their real names, ages and net worth

Then you’ve definitely come to the right place.
Before we start, a quick introduction from me…
The Cruising Freedom Author

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

➜ Inspire others to dream big
But more on that later… 🙂
Sailing Tangaroa FAQs (January 2023)
Boat Name
S/V Tangaroa
Crew Members
James Gogan (age 33)
Hannah Taylor (age 33)
The Boat
Sailing Tangaroa has a 2012 37ft James Wharram Catamaran. This boat is popular in Australia for coastal cruising, but certainly not the best bluewater cruiser.
They have since sold this vessel:
Location
Since selling their boat, their whereabouts have been unknown but it appears that they might be on Australia’s East Coast.
Past Cruising
They have sailed from Adelaide and all the way up to the remote Kimberly region of Western Australia.
Affording It
They both worked hard in their 20’s and were wise with their savings. Their boat only cost about $75,000 Australian dollars.
Net Worth
Sailing Tangaroa has a net worth of $230,000.
Making Loot
On YouTube, they were making around $2,000/month by:
➜ Their Patreon subscribers
➜ Allowing ads on their channel
It was only just enough to keep their travels going.
Collaborations
I didn’t see them collab with anyone else, but if you want to watch a similar couple then check out Sailing Nandji.
Big Moments
They came across numerous crocodiles (one circled their boat all night!) and they had numerous boat breakages, but the most notable moment was James’ proposal to Hannah.
Future Plans
Why did they sell the boat? What are they doing now? Did they have kids and settle down? No one really knows.
Key Takeaways
What can we learn from this genuine Aussie couple?
➜ Be willing to share your storm
➜ Do it all before you have kids
➜ Start work on your freedom project
➜ Head for the Kimberley’s if you can
And of course, plan for the future!
Conclusion
I really miss these guys on YouTube and hopefully they’ll start cruising again soon. If you have any more information about their future plans, then please let me know!
