  • Buying a SAILING YACHT: in this video our crazy story of losing and buying a Sailboat our bluewater sailing yacht a Beneteau 57. In this video we share our personal story and the proces in general of buying a bluewater sailboat. Buying your first sailboat Gerben took the leap of faith of buying the pocket super yacht Beneteau 57 - Perfect Sense. He had no idea of how to buy a bluewater sailboat or survey a sailboat. He did know sailing life was his dream and never thought possible he would be living on a boat, a sailing yacht, with a kid while working on a boat and being a business couple sailing around the world. Here is our story of how we became live aboard sailboat and afforded our beautiful bluewater sailing yacht. Join our sailing life in season 2 and the incredible story of buying a sailing boat!

    You've put a smile on my face again Gerben en Rianne, I can't wait to hear the rest of the story. I started watching and following a few weeks ago and you definitely got me more inspired to just do and not wait and dream. I even had a look where the boatyard was because I was really impressed by the work they did and the way Gerben talked about them. The "niew jaars duik" was a nice feature, loved it. Looking forward to the next.. beautiful episodes, and hope you three have a great time.

    Hoi luitjes,
    so Gerben, the real "kick-start" was the founding of your 3 e-companies, (in between working your ass off) and selling 1 of them, which made you a "millionaire" at the time you purchased the boat.
    in other words your thoughts of a young man weren't that far off.
    appreciate the transparency as many YT'ers paint the picture as "with a bit of money" we bought this boat which became our home .... LOL
    we all know it takes considerable funds to acquire and maintain boating life.
    you struck 3 times : beat the illness, successful in business, founded a happy family with beautiful wife and kid
    count your blessings ;-)
    all the Best Wishes and stay healthy

      Yes it’s quite a story 😂 I feel it’s part of my life, I always had an intense life and all the setbacks I faced were lessons and gifts for me to do what I am doing now. Otherwise I would be that single young guy sailing around with a lot of money. I had a plan in life but life has a plan with me too. 😍

    • @FeeltheBreeze
      @FeeltheBreeze  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Luiz Philippe, that's correct we selected a big blue water vessel with center cockpit, I (Gerben) fell in love with the design, the spacious interior and especially the way of construction, the B57 is constructed in a traditional way with a very thick hull for example, instead of the modern production boats. At the moment we are installing our Lithium Batteries as a warehouse for our energy and we will install a solar system later in Italy, there is a big technology improvement coming this month so that's the reason we do it in a later stage.

    Cool story, feels like I am doing something simular, abeit on a lot smaller scale (moneywise, boatwise also, but closer :-)). You haven't explained, but how do you do the ownership? I assume BTW (VAT) should be paid before registering it in the kadaster, or are you planning to go the ICP route? Anyway, enjoy what you can, I will enjoy following you guys!

    • @FeeltheBreeze
      @FeeltheBreeze  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ohh thanks! The VAT was already paid so no issues with that, and we do the ICP route for 3 years now. But now with the problems in Italy and Spain we are considering what other options we have. Kadaster isn't a real option as wel would have to sail back to the Netherlands right now. So we truly hope ICP will get things figured out soon.
