All costs at a glance
When it comes to blue water sailing, the most frequently asked question is probably the cost of living underway. Bobby Schenk provides the answer

The answer to the question of the cost of living is not easy to answer, as the sailors are individuals with very different financial situations, says Bobby Schenk.

This article is intended to provide orientation: Sabine and Sven have been travelling for four years and live in South America/Caribbean on their small catamaran. Sabine has kept a meticulous, detailed and open-hearted record of all their expenses during the long voyage. Which is unusually revealing for every blue water dreamer. Because everyone can get an idea of what to expect and to what extent, depending on your character and lifestyle, you can and would like to save on individual items or be more generous with your finances.

A uniquely informative piece of hard work that could show some people whether the long journey they are dreaming of is financially feasible for them.
