Channel Information

Hey there! We're Ken and Zivile, also known as Isabelle, adventurers, sailors, and YouTubers. Back in 2017, we made a big leap and bought Aquarius - an Amel Super Maramu 2000. Despite our limited sailing experience, we set off on an epic journey Around The World! Fast forward 7 years, and we've covered over 36,000 nautical miles, visited 50 countries, and unfortunately, dealt with the challenge of 2 broken masts—right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, no less, on our final stretch to complete our Circumnavigation! At present, Aquarius sits patiently in a boatyard, masts absent, as we navigate through the insurance & repair (?) process. Once everything is sorted, we'll be transparent about what happened—when and how we lost the mast, the underlying cause, and all the details.
