BOAT GEAR
The Gear Behind Our Freedom
Power & Electrical
The stuff that keeps the boat alive and our laptops charged. From adapters and chargers to the small electrical gear we actually rely on.
Mppt Solar Controller
The #1 go to solar stuff and electrical brand. Pretty sure you’ve heard of them before. A huge arrange for all setups and sizes available.
Lithium-ion Batteries
These babies are a huge improvement. Drain down to 10% without breaking a sweat and recharge in not time
Adjustable 12 Volt Fan
No powerdrips here. Extremely durable, simple to install, and pretty quiet. Can’t do without ’em in warmer parts of the ocean and anchorages.
Monocrystalline Solar Panels
Depending on your space and demand, these things are a absolute MUST for your off-grid way of life. They come in all shapes and sizes, so choose well and connect safely.
Navigation Lights
These are a separate port and starboard set. You can also choose the two-in-one type, depending on your bow and boat size. Of course you have them, but be sure to carry spares!
In-Dash Depth Sounder
Of course you need these. But what’s so special, is the fact that they can be glued to the inside of your FB hull. Extremely accurate, maintenance free and very easy to install. Plug and play.
Remote Work Setup
The gear that helps us stay online, focused, and productive. Even when the office happens to be floating.
Lenovo Laptop
By far our favorite brand so far. Great WiFi reach, foolproof, good for movies, and all round work and entertainment
JBL Bluetooth Speakers
Not a working day without this baby blasting tunes. Awesome bass power and the battery lasts a good while
Call Center Headphones
Having a meeting in a gale? Bunch of sailors cursing near you? No problem
STARLINK Mini Kit 12Volt
This baby runs on 12 – 24 Volts nowadays, and has the Wi-Fi Router built in. So plug and play, use the app, and you’ll be online in a few minutes!
Motorola Moto g-Power
An essential piece of kit for calling, scrolling, and even navigation. Any smartphone will do. We use this one and it hasn’t let us down (yet).
Western Digital Hard Drive
These things come in all shapes and sizes. We are always looking for places to store our digital stuff. Finally we have one for all our files, pics, and videos.
