Watching Delos is part of why we decided to do the same thing. We left the States 6 years ago and love the lifestyle. We met the Delos crew in Grenada several years ago and they were very down to earth. We are now in Thailand and plan to stay in Southeast Asia for a while.
He also saves a lot of money by fixing everything himself. If I remember right from the other videos he put himself through college by working as an electrician for the power company. It's amazing what he can fix himself. Certainly puts in a lot of very hard labor to keep that boat going.
I saw another video detailing the cost to cruise. The same boat, young guy made money in tech with hot girl, but he had all upkeep done by professionals. That seemed to add about $25k/year to costs and he was continually scheduling. He didn't seem less burdened even though Amel has one of the best support networks and the boat was in the age "sweet spot". I am into sailboat design and often see guys who think they can build a sailboat to save money. I always tell them that if they have even half the talent that takes they should work fixing others boats and put that money rehabbing an old sailboat. It will get them on the water in less than half the time and every port they visit will be an employment opportunity.
@@MarketingStrategies28 The very point of Patreon is to sponsor people in some activity - blogging, video making, etc - that you the sponsor consume. SV Delos consistently puts out videos week after week. You can't really begrudge them success in getting enthusiastic sponsors.
This story made me feel real warm. Also, I like that he talks about the costs of his lifestyle. It’s never perfect, but what a beautiful life you can have!
So cool to see them now! I remember discovering their channel a few years back, when their daughter was but a tiny baby! Now she's fully part of this amazing adventure! Few of us get to live life to our fullest potential, I see this as an inspiration!
Proud to say I've followed them since they were in South Africa, I've met them at the Annapolis boat show, and I've talked to Brady via email several times asking advice about various cruising related things.. They are a wonderful, loving, down to earth family and it isnt an exageration to say that they've changed my life just by being true to themselvse and living life. Happy to be a member of the Delos Tribe!!
Brian & Brady - legends that birthed the YT sailing genre. They've inspired so many, me included. Five bareboat charters as skipper under my belt now, Aegean, Ionian and Adriatic. Thanks Breeyawn and Senõr Brady, changed my life!
For the idiots in here that think they are doing this because it's affordable: 1. It's a $400,000 boat. 2. It's an asset that doesn't appreciate in value. 3. They have the luxury not to have a 9-5 that requires them in person. 4. He had to save up, sell everything and he still ended up making out his credit cards. 5. They still almost went bankrupt and had to work random jobs to get by. This was not a house replacement. This was a lifestyle decision.
FWIW, the boat is an Amel Super Maramu. They are a bit unique in offering a boat that is surprisingly manageable by 1 while looking like a terrestrial home. There are tougher boats. There are "push button" to sail boats, but these are unique in doing both without looking like a tank. The company has gone upscale since this boat was produced to the $1M+ market. The predecessor of this boat is the 46ft "Maramu" that can be purchased used and fitted for cruise for ~100k. Before the pandemic I was ready to jump on a plane to Greece to do exactly that. If you are planning to support a cruising lifestyle with YT vids you need a hot woman -that might be more more cost and trouble than the sailboat.
Well. I was wondering where he found the girl... And my advice to you - go to NZ or AU, you might just find one ;). But thank you for an info on the boat. I thought it was 45-footer, cause it would suffice. Also, I was questioning him waiting for a boat to "happen" in the US, instead of going somewhere to pick it.
Brian is one of 199 people that have actually sailed around the world and his wife when they cross her tracks will become one too. She got on the boat in New Zealand.
Brain and Delos were a large part of the reason I personally chose to take two years off and travel the world--including a portion of it sailing. They're ability to take a camera behind the experience, to humanize the things they saw and people they met, and to share their in their lives were a genuine gift that changed my DNA too...including 35 new countries visited and even a few places they've been.
I started watching Delos few years back. I binge watched their journey twice now. Their videos helped me with my anxiety and loneliness. So happy to see them getting featured in CNBC. ❤❤
this is not my kinda lifestyle. While i do travel 4-5 months per year on average, the fact that i have a home to return to at the end of each trip gives me comfort. Normadic lifestyle is too much. I like my own bed, neighbourhood, and grocery store lol. But good for him, everyone deserves to do what they r most comfortable with
I totally agree, I traveled a lot in my life, but now I’m pretty much liking to stay stationary. To each his own, but I love a place to keep myself and myself my stuff, my own bed, and a fridge with food.
Im an OG delos subscriber. Their channel has gone from party party to a full on wholesome family channel, with a little bit of party party still. Lol Brian, Kaz, and Sierra are genuinely the best people on TH-cam And good on this film crew on showing the wall of shame. 😂
AWWW the most loveable TH-cam sailing channel, SV DELOS! If you're just discovering them from this, start on some of their earlier videos and just play them video to video like a movie. It's a wonderful channel.
I followed their channel for a bit when his brother was on board. Very genuine and down to earth people ❤️ Definitely cool the adventures they get to go on and the sites and memories their daughter gets to experience.
I’ve been with you since day one. You’re like family to me and I never miss an episode. While I really miss all of your crew members, Sierra and Karen bring so much love and joy to your remarkable adventure. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a regular Friday viewer and contributor to the Delos youtube channel. Some of the best Vblogging you can see... and getting better with every episode. Binge watched them during COVID - have seen every one of the 400+ episodes. Feel like part of the family, or "Tribe" as they call it... The scuba diving episodes are my favorites.
Been following them for years, Brian and his family are awesome and have a wonderful channel. Got me dreaming of a boat, and now that I'm remote seriously looking into it.
SV Delos I've been following almost 4 years now wow. great people. When I started watching following them I started from video 1 well the beginning , And I powered watched until I caught up to what you'd call real time for subscriber, And they are what 4, 5 ,6 weeks behind. anyhow overall great to follow and now because of Brian, Karin Brady, Alex(Blue) I am following 1/2 dozen other channels. There really is another life out in the deep blue. Thankyou Delos
Great video! I subscribed to Delos years ago and have enjoyed living vicariously through them, and the almost countless crew they've sailed with over that time (all their pictures in the salon). My father was a sailor in his younger days and I'm working my way toward that dream myself.
I'll call bulls#!t on $1900/month budget. I live aboard and cruise on a smaller, much less complex boat that costs about 1/4 of what Delos did. Wear and tear on sails, rigging, engine components, pumps, electronics, and many other things adds up. One oft-quoted rule of thumb calls for 10% to 20% of the value of the boat to be spent each year keeping her seaworthy. In my case, I have to put aside about $15,000 / year ($1250/month) for replacing things as they wear out. OK, rant over. Best thing I ever did was to quit my job and go sailing. This young family is living the dream. I just think they're misrepresenting the true cost of living that dream.
This is marvelous, thanks Brian!! You have really done what many people daydreamed about. I'm relieved to hear that you are thinking ahead towards a semi-normalised lifestyle for your child as she gets older, as that is a serious concern.
Totally. I was shocked at the transformation when they showed his old photos. Apparently (some) cool humans are made not born. Almost makes me feel like abandoning everything and getting on a boat myself.
Living with your daughter on land with her family during school and then off on the boat during summer vacation would be my suggestion. Our Brazilian Mother was from Niteroi, across the famous Fast Five bridge to Rio and we spent the school year in the USA and summer`s in Brazil.😎
Yeah, we have been watching Delos for years and it has motivated us to buy a boat too….just…when the TH-cam Illusion fades the hard reality of costs and always breaking stuff and never ending « projects » begins…. Making you realize that only money will produce these dreams. The most wicked thing is that one job always produces five others and you wake up in the morning with your mind running around the issues. We loved the beginning of Delos, with their wild adventures, while Senor Brady was still around….. now it has become a family show and the spiciness faded a bit…..but still, thanks for the happy moments watching the initial part of your journey, Brian & Brady.
LOVE YOU GUYS . IM 64 AND MY HEART WILL ALWAYS BE ON THE WATER ,SAND AND COCONUT TREES. BORN IN BELIZE CENTRAL AMERICA LIVE IN FLA. YOU ALL ARE AMAZING AND YOU ARE THE MOST HUMBLE GUY I KNOW (APART FROM MY DAD) LOL. LOVE LITTLE NUGGET. KEEP SAILING BROTHER WE WILL MEET UP ONE OF THESE DAYS I LOVE YOUR MERCH ALSO JUST GOT MY DELOS RASHGUARD AND LOVING IT. GOD BLESS.
The views is amazing....not sure if myself could live in small cramped quarters & besides, I don't do well with sea sickness. The lifestyle of being your own boss & charting your own course is definitely one to envy. 😊⛵️🏝🐠
Wow... nice sweet, short and not too complicated. I bought a horse ranch in 1990. It was that or a 49' Transpac CC. your videos over the years let me experience both life styles. Thanks. Can't live two dreams at the same time. Unless your Jimmy Buffet.
He’s SPENDING $1900/month on the boat itself! He makes WAY more than that. It’s funny that these TH-camrs, especially the ones who use “crowdfunding, aka Patreon, don’t like to admit how much money they make. Many people who pay into Patreon are just regular folks making $30-50K per year and they don’t understand that channels like SV Delos are bringing in $500K\yr or more based on sponsorships. I personally just don’t like that they take that money from folks who really can’t afford it. TH-camrs try to claim that they’re putting out videos out of the goodness of their hearts and that they ONLY make money through Patreon/crowdfunding, which is complete B.S.! I’ve been watching SV Delos for more than 10 years and they are one of the Sailing channel OGs, but since they had the babby, they have also become some serious e-beggers. Their original videos were all about cruising the world with friend and having fun. At the end of each video they would have a “buy us a beer” link, which was obviously for donations…but it was subtle. The videos have become kind of boring and they are no longer subtle about asking for money. It’s weird because the more money they make, the more the actual content suffers. You would think with more money comes better content but in reality it actually just leads to them wanting to make even more money.
They are artists. And as demand grew, they became a business. They sell to whomever will pay. We don't shame Blink-182 for selling their albums or concert tickets to people making $50k/yr. We can call them both sellouts if we want, but at least they're out there creating something. Whether it's good or bad is subjective.
Delos’ internet begging is NOTHING compared to La Vagabonde’s ’sponsored by AG1 while suffering from mental health issues (sponsored by…) but still remembering to show enough cleavage of a bad boob job’ -memes. Those guys are unwatchable for me now.
@@Audreylin29I lived the same life for a long time. About 7 years ago, I figured I wanted a different life and put a 5 year plan together which included buying a boat. A year ago I quit work and spent the past Spring sailing in the Bahamas. Currently getting ready to leave the US and head to the Caribbean. It’s doable if you really want it so I encourage you to think big!
While they are paid to live an awesome life. Kinda makes me want to sink the boat. But of course it would probably make them MORE popular and he would crowd fund a new massive expensive sail boat and laugh like a maniac on TH-cam as dolphins splash behind him somewhere near the Seychelles.
Gaarrr! - ❤ Nice submission - Sierra is a True Sailor & Child of the Seas, since she began her Life at Sea ❤... Love the idea. Wish me luck with My Investment Portfolio😅😂
I wonder if they did decide to go part-time on the boat and part-time on land what that would look like, or if it's the same as it is now -- three months at a time in a different country. It's definitely a dream to be able to travel the world, but in all instances it's still a lot of work; just a different kind.
I liked seeing this story,telling more about you, how you starded and more. I just want to see more reality,and not only love -sunshine -reggae. Well,understand,your job. And yes,Sierra needs friends and family. Take care🎉
I first started watching their TH-cam channel during Covid. Definitely got me thinking about the hamster wheel we all seem to run in and options to escape the grind.
cant help but think this needs to send sooner rather than later for the sake of his daughter. what kind of life is it for her if she cant make meaningful friendships and is constantly moving around. nice to hear he plans on changing that
There are many families that live aboard while raising children. Many develop friendships with other live aboard families etc. Many feel the life experiences and world education are worth it. I personally wouldn’t do it, but I can see how many enjoy it. I suppose it’s no different than some families that live in extreme rural circumstances and home school. Heck, there are many children that attend school and go through life with very little social interaction…
Not sure where you are from but America has a LOT of seas and rivers. Check out the American great loop. Not sure if your boat is too big but America and sailing can go hand in hand :)
He started in Bellingham and sailed west coast, and when they came back around, they sailed up the East Coast all the way to Maine and back down and then through the Caribbean’s and through the Panama Canal back to where he started one of only 199 people who have sailed around the world he’s from the US she’s from Sweden. He’s actually from Flagstaff but went to work for Microsoft then start his own company.
Except, comparatively, America SUCKS! Only until you’ve sailed internationally, visited secluded bays, villages, communities, and cultures will you get what I’m saying. And I’m a us citizen……
Life on land sucks. It is too easy. Living on a boat and the self reliance needed makes you grow as a person. If it was easy (like living on land) everyone would do it.
Even out-of-pocket private healthcare is WAY cheaper outside the US. In most of the world, healthcare isn't something that will bankrupt you the moment you need a prescription
This was like those movies labeled "Based on a true story", it is mostly true with some facts left out, some exaggerated. Always when hearing this history I hate that Erin gets left out, maybe that is the way she want it.
Watching Delos is part of why we decided to do the same thing. We left the States 6 years ago and love the lifestyle. We met the Delos crew in Grenada several years ago and they were very down to earth. We are now in Thailand and plan to stay in Southeast Asia for a while.
How much is it running you monthly all in? Boat maintenance, repairs, food, WiFi, fun stuff etc?
I believe Ruby Rose Crew is over that way
Do you ever run into danger? Looks interesting
I've watched the SV Delos channel for years. There are the coolest family with the most amazing journeys. Cool to see them on CNBC Make It
He also saves a lot of money by fixing everything himself. If I remember right from the other videos he put himself through college by working as an electrician for the power company. It's amazing what he can fix himself. Certainly puts in a lot of very hard labor to keep that boat going.

Its a big bludge
Save for what?

Been following SV Delos since 2016. I don't think I'll ever stop. It a great escape for us land dwellers. Hope to meet and shake your hands someday.
I Like and respect Brian He has built a million dollar business. He deserves it, but you failed to mention it.
He does not live on $1900 a month.

You don't know much about engineers.

Love Delos so much. But have to say, not all of the electricity comes from solar/wind. A good portion comes from a diesel generator.
Started following Delos about 11 years ago. Love their channel.
Wow thank you for this! I love SV Delos!
You can live off the dividends, get that satellite Wi-Fi n live the dream!
The fact Andrei is a promoted comment.. wow
you just love getting a cut of the pie sweetheart, just as you loved promoting FTX. Cut the cards again.

Sailing made him happier, healthier, and even more handsome!
Not really.
They all got theshots to get into different countrys.
They won't be around much longer.
Many have been getting sick from them.

Love Delos! I follow them for many years, actually I met them in Antigua once, they are adorable and so down-to= earth. Very inspiring!

Love the Delos videos but electricity is ALSO created by their diesel generator that CNBC seemed to not want to mention.
You reminded me how groovy sailing is and all the adventures that come with it. You woke me up again.
Been following SV Delos for 9 years now, back when it was the original first crew.
followed him since the early days of sailing , when his brother Brady sailed with him , still on my bucket list to take trip on a sail boat.
Absolutely love Delos, been watching them for years!
I couldn’t live on a boat but love that they have something that works for them
The views is amazing....not sure if myself could live in small cramped quarters & besides, I don't do well with sea sickness. The lifestyle of being your own boss & charting your own course is definitely one to envy. 😊⛵️🏝🐠
Sea sickness, I wonder if it is something your body can adapt to for most people.
“One to envy” - you mean one to emulate. Figure out your path.

Que hermosa familia y crianza de su hija . No hay límites para explorar
These guys are awesome. They, Paley Revival, and Sailing Miss Loan Star, inspired me to buy my own $1 sailboat and refit it to go cruising.

Gaarrr! - ❤ Nice submission - Sierra is a True Sailor & Child of the Seas, since she began her Life at Sea ❤... Love the idea. Wish me luck with My Investment Portfolio😅😂
Lovely family and story, continuing to follow their journey
One of my favorite You Tube channels. ♥
I’ve watched his channel for years. Highly recommend
So Great! Congrats Brian and Karin!
Those waves are not for the faint of heart! 😅
I wonder if they did decide to go part-time on the boat and part-time on land what that would look like, or if it's the same as it is now -- three months at a time in a different country. It's definitely a dream to be able to travel the world, but in all instances it's still a lot of work; just a different kind.
Their paid by their patreons to live
I've been watching SV Delos for years now. I found out about them when i saw brady in the chasing bubbles documentary.
Been watching them for 4 years now.
I enjoyed learning your history. The video brings back lots of memories. Thanks
This is amazing! Super jealous of their life🔥
Always put your foot on the carry never let go completely 😅
I liked seeing this story,telling more about you, how you starded and more. I just want to see more reality,and not only love -sunshine -reggae. Well,understand,your job. And yes,Sierra needs friends and family. Take care🎉
I'm surprised Kazza is not in this more. Same with the nugget! But love it nonetheless. :-)
I first started watching their TH-cam channel during Covid. Definitely got me thinking about the hamster wheel we all seem to run in and options to escape the grind.
It’s a depreciating asset with a lifespan of what, maybe 30-40 years? And then when a hurricane hits….
Yeah but they generate so much from their you tube channel they will be fine
You do realize depreciation does bottom out? And boats can last 50+years, stop being pessimistic and learnnnnn
The average live aboard is 7 years. True for me. 52k NM.
The story. 3 circumnavigations Amazon by Tony sharp
You made your dreams come true, respect!
This is life 🎉
Great video" love Delos, long time fan....
What a wonderful video❤
They save a lot by fixing everything themselves. Brian is mechanically and electrically minded.
What an incredible story!
He is so inspiring.
This is so wholesome
Thanks for sharing some figures, helpful for us making the move over from land ❤
cant help but think this needs to send sooner rather than later for the sake of his daughter. what kind of life is it for her if she cant make meaningful friendships and is constantly moving around. nice to hear he plans on changing that
There are many families that live aboard while raising children. Many develop friendships with other live aboard families etc. Many feel the life experiences and world education are worth it. I personally wouldn’t do it, but I can see how many enjoy it. I suppose it’s no different than some families that live in extreme rural circumstances and home school. Heck, there are many children that attend school and go through life with very little social interaction…
She started with a nomadic lifestyle. She will be fine
I did something similar but with an RV 2 years ago
Verry good, happy live.
YAAAAY LOVE BRIAN KAZAA AND LIL NUGGET!!!!
What a awesome life.
Not sure where you are from but America has a LOT of seas and rivers. Check out the American great loop. Not sure if your boat is too big but America and sailing can go hand in hand :)
He started in Bellingham and sailed west coast, and when they came back around, they sailed up the East Coast all the way to Maine and back down and then through the Caribbean’s and through the Panama Canal back to where he started one of only 199 people who have sailed around the world he’s from the US she’s from Sweden. He’s actually from Flagstaff but went to work for Microsoft then start his own company.
Except, comparatively, America SUCKS! Only until you’ve sailed internationally, visited secluded bays, villages, communities, and cultures will you get what I’m saying. And I’m a us citizen……
There's a WORLD out there! It can teach you much.
Very lucky, have a good life👍🙏❤️🇦🇺
Wow 1900 covers mtce and breakdowns of equip too?
Hek yeah free episode on Thanksgiving
I admire you.... Aashish
Holly smokes, That is alot of money. You are living large! Enjoy.
Life on land sucks. It is too easy. Living on a boat and the self reliance needed makes you grow as a person. If it was easy (like living on land) everyone would do it.
Am I the only person who wonders how they get health insurance , or if they get any ?
Even out-of-pocket private healthcare is WAY cheaper outside the US. In most of the world, healthcare isn't something that will bankrupt you the moment you need a prescription
Even with that, still risky .
Really lovely video and admire the wonderful lifestyle 🏆
This was like those movies labeled "Based on a true story", it is mostly true with some facts left out, some exaggerated. Always when hearing this history I hate that Erin gets left out, maybe that is the way she want it.
