BOAT LIFE! | Work VS Play Aboard Our DeFever Trawler on San Diego Bay

Trawler living on San Diego Bay... it's a life we've dreamed of! The marina water is our backyard, the bay our playground, and the San Diego skyline our magnificent view.
In this episode, you'll learn what a typical weekend looks like aboard Sea Y'all, our DeFever 44 yacht. Sometimes, it's all about problem solving, projects, chores, and repairs. Other times, it's all about the FUN! But most of the time? We mix in a little of both to create a balanced live aboard life.
So join us for a weekend, behind-the-scenes glimpse at boat life. And if you have questions about the live aboard life, please leave a comment below and we’ll be sure to answer in a future video!

So, what do you think? Could YOU live on a boat? I'd love to know!

[@maggietate6416]

That spice rack is awesome!!

Such a peaceful and serene 10 minutes that briefly took me away with you on your adventure. Look forward to the next escape on board the Sea Y’all.

[@TheSeaYallLife]

Elle, what a lovely compliment! Thank you!💖

[@donb270]

Just started watching. Beautiful boat! Greetings from New Jersey. We have a 43 foot Hatteras sand are about to begin our retirement life with many trips aboard our “Hope”

[@TheSeaYallLife]

Awesome! We know you’ll make amazing memories on hope💖. Thanks for watching!

[@DrJamesRRivet]

What a life😎

[@TheSeaYallLife]

We are blessed!😊

[@ianmac86]

Thanks for sharing. Pretty sure “I could do that”. 44 is about the right size and your boat is beautiful. I’ll keep dreaming.

[@TheSeaYallLife]

Ha, we bet you could, too! Don’t stop dreaming!😀

[@BuickOutdoors]

Im starting to do my research on live aboard boats. Im hoping within two to five years ill be able to live fulltime between my boat, holiday trailer and acreage. Im trying my best to be a full time content creator and if i keep growing at the rate that i am, theres a good chance ill be able to go full time fairly soon. Best of luck to you guys and enjoy the water!

[@TheSeaYallLife]

That sounds like the dream life! Best of luck to you as well!!!!

San Diego Bay has changed so much! When i was a kid we kept our boat at the Kona Marina, Shelter Island back when Shelter Island was the only marina in the Bay! I'd go out in my Boston Whaler squall sailing and marvel at the Aircraft Carrier Bunker Hill, CV-17 moored across the way at NASNI. I was told it's keel had been broken by torpedo hits in the South Pacific and the Navy had decommissioned her and was using her as a floating laboratory.

[@TheSeaYallLife]

Steve, love hearing about your San Diego Bay history! We, too, spend many an afternoon marveling at aircraft carriers and other huge ships while cruising around in our own Boston Whaler!

[@AquaCultured]

Awesome to see what it's like over in the other sunshine state! Nice vid!

[@TheSeaYallLife]

Thanks Butch! It’s nice we both live in the two sunshine states!☀️

[@jennifertabler4098]

Nice video

[@TheSeaYallLife]

Thank you so much!

[@brandtall9639]

I could easily live aboard that yacht. Cost wise, how much is your slip fee and how did you find it?

[@TheSeaYallLife]

Hi there! Our slip fee has been $902 for quite a while but is going up In January I think around $975. These days it’s harder to find slip than when we got one 5 years ago. Depending on the marina, you may need to get on a waiting list. Also, you can sometimes keep the slip occupied by a boat you purchase. Good luck!

[@tylervetter2255]

im trying to find a liveaboard slip in san diego, however I do not have a boat yet (im looking at a 42 trawler) any advice on where to look for a slip?

[@TheSeaYallLife]

There are so many options, and it all depends on your priorities! Check out the many marinas on Shelter Island and Harbor Island. Then there is the Marriott Marquis Marina, which is located downtown but is pricier. Another nice option... one that is very affordable... is Pier 32 in National City. Hope that helps!

[@renemccaulley2766]

happy to find you kids, i am in the same position, dont have a boat yet and looking for a liveaboard also, i say right after summer end so i am following and is kind of difficult to organize things from far away

[@TheSeaYallLife]

@@renemccaulley2766 Exciting! What kind of boat are you looking at and where will you be putting it?
