This is the definitive guide on Sailing Yabá for 2023.
Over the last several years, I have spent many hours watching and researching everything I could about Sailing Yabá to learn more about their story.
I’m a little obsessed with Ben and MP 😃 since their boat restoration project is a mammoth one requiring persistence and flexibility.
If you wanted to know:
➜ How Sailing Yabá afforded their boat
➜ How they make their money today
➜ What boat do they have and its upgrades
➜ Their nationality and net worth
➜ How you can start crossing oceans
Then you’ve definitely come to the right place.
Before we start, a quick introduction from me…
