Dreaming of Life Aboard?
Everything we wish we knew before buying our first sailboat.
ABOUT US
Life Aboard Mutiny
We’re Ramon, Lotte & Styx, a couple with a little black jaguar who decided that the conventional path wasn’t for us. And never has been for that matter.
During years of backpacking, one 5 minute conversation changed our lifes forever. We realized that the freedom we craved could be found on the open water.
Mutiny, our beloved sailboat, has become our home, our transport, and our classroom. Every day brings new challenges, new lessons, and new horizons.
From learning to navigate by the stars to fermenting kimchi in a rolling galley, life at sea is never boring.
Our mission is simple: to inspire others to follow their dreams, whatever they may be.
Whether that’s sailing around the world or simply finding more adventure in everyday life.

Most People Never Leave
Most people spend years comparing boats, watching YouTube, and waiting for the perfect moment.
The people who actually leave?
They know the perfect boat doesn’t exist.
They know experience beats opinions.
They know adventure starts before you’re ready.
And they know that boats are for sailing, not for impressing the marina. So while others keep researching, they cast off the lines.
And go.
