What month did you visit Belen waterfall?
Hi love your videos. Question was it a sailing in Spain? If so, would you be able to provide contsct info...possibly price? Thanks in advance!
❤️🇲🇽😍
Love it!!
Ahh.. Thank you Remy!
Baby I don't know about this
Love you guys. However, the videos are too far apart.
Hi PJ, 🥰 Very true... we do these videos for fun, though it's been a wacky challenging year. Working on getting another video out much sooner 🤞🏼⛵️ ☺️
@@SailingXanadu Thanks so much for sharing your adventures/lifestyle. Keep moving forward and stay safe.
Welcome back. We missed you guys. I am praying you get your sealegs again. Dont`t let the circumstances get you down. Follow your dreams and take us with you.
👋🏼 Darrell, thank you for your kind words. Sorry for not posting as much - Covid has us locked out of moving about but thank you so much for cheering us on 🤸🏽♀️ Happy Holidays !
Great video!!
thank you, Monique :)
Are you guys finished sailing? I am missing your videos.
🖐🏼Darrell, We are still sailing - well sort of 😅 Covid has definitely challenged us out here in the Caribbean with months of self-isolating on Xanadu, plus quarantining after moving to Grenada. I am working on the next video as I type which will be out very soon. Sorry for the delay thanks for missing our vids 🥰. Be well and happy day to you! 💜⛵️🤸🏽♀️
Very nice videos. Keep up the good work!
🖐🏼Alexander, thank you very much!
I am glad you made through the storm.

Nice video. You mak it look so fun and exciting.
GOOD VIDEO CHAINE YOUTUB THETYS AUTOUR DU MONDE NAUTITECH 542
Hi Guys, great clip, how much service batterys do you have on board ( how many Ah), we are getting next spring also a NT46 and i have to do my research for the best setup. Thanks Stephan p.s. the air guitar was awesome
Haha.. thanks and congratulations! That's exciting news. We installed 1200 AH Lithium batteries. In the tropics we tend to run the a/c a lot and that uses a lot of juice. Kaz says if don't run a/c 600 should be ok and 900 would be plenty.
@@SailingXanadu thank you
Thanks for the latest video. Loved seeing you guys and glad you’re safe!! Can’t wait for the next one
🥰 thank you, Delia. You guys keep yourselves safe too. Praying for a better tomorrow.
OMY GODDDDD THIS IS MY FAVORITE EVER!!!! i am laughing out loud. so freaking funny. You guys should be in quarantine all the time. hahaha (not)
Remember when we had that zoom call and I was a hot mess..? Well, it was INSANE! Glad you got your chuckle in tho 🤣😅
Nice as usual , have a safe sail....
thanks much, Gabriel :) lovely weekend to ya
Nice episode, guys !!! Love your boat. FYI. When there are large predator fish near your boat, a good idea to keep your dog inside as the fish will jump and take that little dog down for dinner. ❤️🤙⛵🌞
Totally agree! 🥺😆 Thank you, Richard 😎✌🏼

It looked like a fantastic trip guys, hopefully the pandemic is over soon. Hopefully, will get there this November. nik

Joined your channel as Cara sent me your way.
this video is beautiful and SO well done!! thank you for sharing and keep up the great work🤙
I enjoy your videos Your voice is well suited for the narration Keep up the good work Also, did the previous owner special order the yanmars over volvos?
Hi Mark, thanks for the comment. 👍🏼 Yes - Volvo is the default but the prior owner put in Yanmar engines instead.
Another great episode! Stunning views! All so beautiful!!!!
Heya Cruzer, thanks! Love to you and fam bam xo
Wow, what an awesome vlog! I really enjoyed it. Thank you for the adventure, and dream ☺

What made you choose nautitech versus other catamaran? Thank you.
A beautiful chill trip on the Indian River. I loved the close-up shots of the flora, fauna, and wildlife.🌺

So sad. It will be like "The Beach" beach in Thai. Let alone Puerto viejo.. in some years thousand of tourist. Its very dangerous town
how so?
@@JakeageWalsh it's not dangerous don't listen to him, it's a normal central american beach town.
Let's hope not. Caribbean side of Costa Rica does not have big hotels.
hey honey!!! love the video but what happened to the end? did it just cut off? Can't wait to get with you guys again. We are all the way in barbuda and LOVING IT! #thecrabbycaptainandthesunnysailor Kisses!

Great vid !
Of course I'd be super interested to know how much you paid. Can give you my email address if you don't want to share publicly. For the story we are late 40's and looking at selling everything, stop working, and sail around the world for the next 15-20 years
Thank you very much for sharing this video. It is super helpful as we looked at between a Lagoon 42 or Nautitech 46 open. Being a bit curious. Is the boat was a 2017 ? If so in this two year period was it sailed by the owner or chartering Cie ? How much nautical miles the boat sail. In which area ?
Why was the one selling it? It is so new. Also can I say what you paid? I don't think those boats are easy to find used.
Good two part video of the survey and first round of ‘boat jobs.’ I hope you have addressed the port sail drive bearings and the starboard outer seal. The surveyor sounded a little too blasé about those issues. Everything I’ve read about sail drives is you have to stay on top of them. Not unlike the I/O drive on my little sport boat. I’m interested in your experiences as the Nautitech 46 Open is on my shortlist, Also it appears your were in Grenada at the same time as Tulsa’s Endless Summer. Did you cross paths with Billy and Sierra?
Hi Robert, thanks for looking out for us. Yes, we have addressed ALL of the issues Neil, our surveyor, discovered during his assessment of the vessel (on and off camera). Neil took the time to go through all of his findings with us, answer questions and document them in a lengthy report. Have a look at the comments section in our last video. I just answered a question about some problems solved and briefly provided some insight as to why we love our Nautitech so much. Yeah, lots of people in the Caribbean take shelter in Grenada during the hurricane season. I saw Sierra zip by on her dingy once with her pup in tow. Of course, Wesley was barking away trying to say hi! 😁. Hope to meet them down the road.. or should I say, down the sea... Have a wonderful day!
Sailing Xanadu glad you like your boat! They are handsome cats. I’m following you guys for Nautitech 46, Sailing Sisu for the Leopard 45, Let’s Dance for the F-P Elba 45 (later this year) and Ruby Rose for whichever cat they buy. Technically I’m following La Vagabonde for the Outremer 45, but not seriously considering it. Who out there is sailing a late model Lagoon 42/46?
Hey! What was the bad Airbnb in Punta Uva? Headed there soon...
Hi Jodee, the place that we absolutely loved is Casa Alexander. It was surrounded by nature and it had a pool. It was also very close to Punta Uva.. the "bad airbnb" I really don't want to name since the airbnb host was extremely helpful and accommodated moving our reservation so I don't want to spoil biz for her. Besides, the place wasn't horrible. It was clean and spacious etc., it just wasn't a good fit for us. Have a wonderful time in Punta Uva, its so beautiful there. Pura Vida 😎✌🏼Liza
Casa Alexander is managed by Casas del Caribe. reserva.casasdelcaribe.com/vacation/villa-cocles-casa-alexander-with-pool-ac-267440.html ask for Maya, she will take care of you!
Would love to know which air bnb you stayed in (the one who's owner also owned the bakery :). I'm leaving for Puerto Viejo in 2 weeks, thanks for your video, super helpful!
Hi Tracy, I've attached the link below. The name of the host is Tommaso. The bakery was the best in the neighborhood. The condo was nice, clean, and the a/c worked like a charm. Have a wonderful vacation :) www.airbnb.com/rooms/21213762?s=67&shared_item_type=1&virality_entry_point=1&sharer_id=12550748
Found you guys when researching the Nautitech 46 open and have binged thru a few episodes. OF COURSE, I had to subscribe and ring the bell !!! I thought I would not be able to change my fave catamarans Lagoon and Leopard with Privilege as the dream one, yet the Nautitech is very appealing!! I would like to hear some of your thoughts as everybody is so concerned about the aft helms and our previous 36' monohull (or any for that matter that are not center cockpit) are aft transoms, and when it rained, I put on my foul weather gear and got wet. Here one can go inside on autopilot.
Hello Richard :) I hope you found some info useful. We don't mind the open helm stations at all and appreciate the extra space in the cockpit. We'll likely have a custom top or Bimini made at some point (mostly because of the beating sun...) but you are correct if the weather is nasty we can hit autopilot and take cover inside. It's a win win
@@SailingXanadu Can you say something about the overall quality of the Nautitech 46, are you happy? The 46 is on my shortlist of cats and would like to hear a real review of a real owner with all its pro and cons. How does it sail to the wind? 40degree possible? In one of your videos you had problems with the leaking hatches which is a concern on such a young boat.
@@no_name-o2n For us the decision to go with the Nautitech 46 open was easy because it had all the bells and whistle’s we were looking for in a live-aboard boat. The finishes are lovely, the space in the cockpit is wonderful, and we have an abundance of storage space. Liza loves the galley which we will switch from propane to electric soon. There are a few other modifications we are considering like covering the helm station since its so exposed to the elements (wind, rain & sun), however, while underway you can set the autopilot, and sit in the saloon very comfortably. While in the saloon, you can sit at the nav station and have complete visibility of the sails from the large ceiling windows and 360 degree views through the huge windows. Which brings me to the leaky ceiling window beds. This was an issue for us and from our understanding it will happen if the wrong sealant is used. Not all of the ceiling window beds leaked but 2 out of 3 did. We resealed with Sica and all is well - not a deal breaker. Another modification we are considering is adding another engine throttle to the port side helm station as only the starboard side has it in our boat. We did 50-60 degree sailing and it was great and fast. Have not sailed 40 degrees into the wind. Overall we are very happy with the performance and structure of our live-aboard home. Best of luck to you on your decision, Guy!
loved the dance at the end, thumbs up
3:20 says it all! The footage / camera (hint hint) in this video are superb. Fair winds and safe travels!
Haha.. @ the footage, nice pun. thank you A Jones :)
@@SailingXanadu have you ever sailed to tioman island
Hi guys, Great vids thanks for sharing! My wife and I plan to give it all up and buy a catamaran in the next 2-3yrs. We are also interested in Nautitech. Do you think you could put a video together detailing your purchasing experience? ie, how you chose your broker, surveyor, and how did you find your catamaran, etc. Out of all the production catamarans, why did you choose the Nautitech 46? Any advice would be much appreciated! By the way, how are the sailing lessons going? All the best, Steve...
We spent about a year and a half watching youtube videos, researching different cats and going to boat shows, where we met our broker Monte Cottrell which we worked with for over a year. I must say that there is no perfect catamaran out there, but for us what was important was the living space. Second, this boat is built very well, she is light and fast. We aren’t experts but we felt that the boat we chose suited our needs the best. Our surveyor was recommended to us but we also researched him on our own. We found this catamaran online on yachting world but interestingly enough we were on this same boat at the Annapolis boat show in October 2018 and she left quite the impression then. Eventually, this was the boat that became ours. More videos to come in the future about that process. All the best to you. Liza and Kaz
