Our story

Meet us, Pat and Frankie, a couple who dared to trade in the familiar grind of the 9-to-5 for an adventure of a lifetime. Scroll through our story to find out how we changed our lives.

before

This story begins before we even met. Two people that seperately believe that they have something unique to offer to this world.
Unsure what that „something“ would be, we earned prestigious degrees, moved places several times and took on careers.

Frankie moved to different countries with her family. One being South Africa she got to experience diverse cultures from early childhood on and felt at home anywhere in the world. While studying Architecture in Austria’s capital Vienna, she spend time in New York City as a visiting student at NYU. Back in Vienna she started working in Real estate and Digital Business Development.

Pat has driven more miles on European highways, and lived in more places in Germany, the Netherlands and Austria than the average person! Waiving good-bye to his home town at 18, to never return, he left to study Real Estate, specializing in Management and Business Consulting. His studies and work led him to live in 10 different locations, lastly being Vienna, where he quickly climbed the corporate ladder.

Love sparked the idea

Why wait to fulfill our dreams of building a life in which we work for ourselves and do what we are passionate about until later”?

We shared a bigger picture of how we wanted to live– the only problem was that it wasn’t the life we were living at that moment.

We found that it were our jobs that determined the way we lived and framed our daily routine. Therefore, the first thing that had to be changed was our corporate work.

It became obvious to us that this journey would take us into self-employment, to gain all the freedom to change our lives completely.

For us, living a good life means shaping it the way we want. We see ourselves as the captains of our fate, and we want to inspire you to take control of the steering wheel for your dreams.

With no backup plan, we made the bold decision to quit our jobs and sell everything we owned to buy a sailing boat and sail around the world.
You may ask yourself if it had been our lifelong dream to sail around the world? The answer is no.
Sailing brings us the ultimate freedom to travel the world and live the lifestyle we want to live. For short periods, we get to experience a place the same way locals do. Everything we own is on our boat– we take our complete home with us while traveling with the wind.

We envision doing what we love for a lifetime, even as we grow old and find ourselves in rocking chairs. And when that time comes, we want to tell all the stories.

welcome on board

We embarked on this journey with little to no sailing experience. The day we bought our yacht marked Frankie’s first-ever time sailing. Crazy? Maybe a little. All the lessons learned, and places visited so far make this unconventional lifestyle worth taking on challenges.

Sailing has compelled us to venture beyond our comfort zones in every facet of life! A good friend shared with us a profound quote from ancient greek philosophy:

“There are three sorts of people: those who are alive, those who are dead, and those who are at sea.”

Our boat is our home, office and vehicle, allowing us to explore diverse places and cultures. This journey isn’t just about sailing the globe; it’s about shaping our unique, modern lifestyle into a brand for you to be part of.
