83. What a Marine Surveyor Looks For Before You Buy a Boat
Despre acest podcast
Dreaming of living on a sailboat one day? Already cruising and craving connection?
The Liveaboard Sailing Podcast brings you into the cockpit with people who live and travel on their own sailboats. Each conversation goes deeper than destinations and boat specs — we talk about decisions, doubts, budgets, storms, relationships, work, courage and more.
Host Annika, not yet a liveaboard herself, is learning as she goes and asking the questions many new sailors are thinking but don’t know who to ask. Expect warm, meaningful stories, practical advice, lessons learned the hard way, and inspiration for your own journey afloat.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
