DON'T SAIL HERE they said | Boatlife of the rich and famous | Sailing Florence - Ep.154

[@08Barclay]

Bask in the fact that although you may not be rich, you are, at least to your viewers, famous! 😎👍🏻

[@DOUBLEDEFENSE]

Fame is illusion followed closely by the fall 😂 just enjoy life

[@iainhunneybell]

Maybe not so rich in $ but hugely rich in experience, something the owners of those expensive stinky boats will never enjoy

[@CorM1]

They are rich but on a different way and more rich than those with their poluting boats.

[@Gracie-SavedByGrace]

The whales! The sunsets! The drone shots! You two lovely souls may never truly understand what peaceful enjoyment you bring to others. Thank you!!!!!!!!

[@lesourire511]

exceptional... as always. I was just thinking about how much a sense of travel and adventure I get watching your channel. You actually are exploring the world and showing us the details 🙏🏽👍🏼✨ Your cinematography and choices of music just keep getting better and better.

[@MarkConnolly]

Your production quality keeps going up and up, definitely the premier sailing channel now 👍👍

[@ksc743]

Seeing all those super yachts and boat traffic around St Barths made me despair for our oceans. I'm sure not all boats are compliant wrt sewage, old cooking oil, detergents, plastic and diesel, not to mention cruise ships, cargo ships and fishing trawlers. Your comments that you've sailed around the world and hardly seen any whales just confirmed that for me😔

[@mojoneko8303]

After sailing the Coast of Alaska for 20+ years I'm not sure I would be fond of sailing the Caribbean. A lot more crowded than what I'm used to. Thanks for the video. Sail On!

[@ianbardon8581]

It is a place I would pay not to go.👎

[@usefulcommunication4516]

Cheeky cactus shot there. Spectacular stuff. I suspect you were amongst the richest people on St Barts, at least by the most important measure of wealth - which is the experiences gained per year spent on the planet.

[@asdmcc2]

That was very funny! I wonder what is Latin name is? Biggus something?

[@obxarms7685]

Ya know it's nice to see a good looking polite , well spoken couple sharing their sailing experience without all the ass shaking and stupidity for once.

[@artsmith103]

They're among the best

[@karitane]

Camera Work, Scenery, Music, Narration, Sailing . Whales and especially spinnaker shots (my favourite sail). FAVOURITE (english version from Isle of Wight) First class. I forgot I was sitting at home. Thanks. Love you both xx

[@johnhanson5943]

You’re both richer than the lot of them there. Thank you for your work! Wonderful stuff.

[@fransdriesen1311]

Outstanding videography and the music blend is perfect …what a treat watching your videos..

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Superb content & invariably great music.

[@Davespenathome]

Awesome, Incredible, Beautiful, Inspiring, Amazing and Three reefs in the main. The 5 most used words and the most used phrase in the videos of your journey describe you channel perfectly. You departed as sailors and are coming back as film makers. Safe journey.

[@gordonmcewan8291]

13.52. Cheeky wee cactus 😂

[@stevemellor7989]

Great videography as always! Following your journey around the world always put me in a happy place. So glad you two are able to experience this life and sharing it with us.

[@craigclark9806]

BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS ❤️

[@julianbatcheler9970]

Best You Tube moment of the fortnight…

[@RobertGronachon]

Rich in love, and famous on You Tube!

[@1freethinker]

As a life long sailor who is from St John and has sailed into St Barts as well as the BVI , much of my life, I can say that every aspect of your video is excellent..! You might consider stopping into Coral Bay harbor on the southeast side of St John.. It's more laid back than Cruz Bay and known for its self "expatriated Americans" and interesting residents..! It's also where the slave uprising of 1736 took place . You could hike up the short way to that hilltop jutting out into the harbor and get great drone video....Also have a cheese burger and speak with some of the "locals" at the bar/restaurant known as "Skinny Legs", where boat builders, have a beer or four in between working on their various projects between there and the water's edge..! 🦚

[@davek4442]

I like your carbon footprint with Florence!

[@lindsaygrams8373]

Thank you Matt and Amy your sailing around the world is AMAZING l would love to Thank you guys so very much for sharing the photos with the world so THANK YOU KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK LOVE YOU BOTH.

[@philiphurst831]

You two have an enviable talent for making top class sailing and travel videos and this is one of your very best. 👏👏👏

[@bryanbadger6841]

Hi guys. Just calling in from Nz. Watching those planes landing, reminds of a comment by a senior flying instructor. "There is nothing more useless, when landing or taking off, as runway BEHIND your aircraft." Another comment by a senior Air New Zealand pilot, now retired...and I'm relating it to super yacht owners..."their heads still get wet when it rains." Nothing special about them. Loving your channel guys. Btw my beer fridge is full. In case you have an urge to return to our fair land. Just saying. Take care and atb with future adventures.

[@kiwivintageltd.6655]

The planes are touching down in the vicinity of the "Touchdown Zone", the correct place on the runway. This is indicated by the large markings on the asphalt. If they were to pass the smaller markings further in, a "Go Around" would be mandatory due to insufficient runway remaining to safely decelerate.

[@andyjamesable]

As always absolutely stunning production .. the filming, shots, editing, music, drone shots, slow mo, narrative .. you are are totally in a class of your own and make other sailing channels look like children playing with their phones… each episode is a mini classic that could hold its own on any mass distribution channel such as Netflix or Prime video .. !!

[@terrytomlinson8772]

Your musical selections are quite enjoyable

[@mezanian]

I'd guess that you 2 would be among a rare number in St Bart's to have circumnavigated our world 🌎 😊 rich indeed. ❤

[@MondoRockable]

Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Exceptionally high quality, entertaining, and insightful.

[@MDEPhotophile]

Another superb episode, great footage with amazing music, lots of depth!!

[@chrismalkin4070]

Another stunningly beautiful and inspiring video. Sensational filming and absolutely matching music. You must splice all of these travel and sailing adventures together into a feature-length movie. It would be a sell-out! Thank you so much. You deserve every credit and accolade.

[@marclawyer2789]

3rd comment 😳 How can you say you're not famous when you get hundreds of thousands of views...🤔 How many of those superyachts have been anywhere to compare with your journey? You are rich in life and have brought that quality to all your videos... That airport looks fun... Thanks for another glimpse of life's possibilities...👍 Edit: good luck with your Atlantic crossing 🤞

[@colettedagny-4972]

Florence is the Super Yacht for good reason. What a funny joke that Amy would Chicken out!!! We have come to know Amy as fearless. Really 👍

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Apart from when she sees a bedraggled rat crawling up the partly open fore hatch above her head, or a flapping fish, otherwise yes fearless... ;-)

[@jlviner]

First viewer! Never seen one of your videos with zero viewers before, and I've watched and enjoyed them all... even the early ones! I'm loving that you are heading towards the BVI - I used to live on Tortola when I was 7-8 years old. In fact it was where I first learned to sail!

[@soggybottom3463]

Just...gorgeous xx🤗🤗🤗..Thank you so much for whisking me far, far away. xx 🤗🤗

[@anitatroyer2066]

I could give you both a hug! The storytelling and video is truly amazing. Those super yachts dont impress me much. Your values and lifestyle reflect what true sailing is about. I wish you could meet Sailing Nahoa ... sailors from Canada. I think you have alot of similar sailing values and skills.

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

We met Ben and Ashley back in Fiji and again in Vanuatu :-)

[@Maerten-us6vu]

Very nice, love the music too....

[@steffennylenna8889]

and another perfect start to the weekend. thanks for sharing

[@feefeealexy2557]

Your videos never cease to bring such pleasure when they are published. Simply the best ❤

[@SerbanOprescu]

This was so beautiful! Dreamy...

[@DavidLaughton-j1f]

We have a yacht the same size and can’t believe you have traveled around the world with so little room on board.

[@ingostahlmann484]

Amazing pictures and the storytelling makes your videos different to many others, great! I love your stories. Thanks for it 😊

[@rikvandok]

I’m so happy that you finally got them on video! What a beauty

[@Mumbo_Jumbo_Kiwi.1]

Just brilliant cinematography from super yachts to a tiny tortoise.

[@Thomas-eu6fj]

Lovely film...as always. Amy and Matt, your little Florence has safely carried you across the planet and stormy seas. She is a real Florence Nightingale. Btw: I love the colors of your Spinnaker❤

[@hughprice2310]

Beautiful shots of red billed tropicbirds. Now these birds are frequenting The Canary Islands.

[@richardsimpson2599]

Best of the best !!!

[@davidgray4456]

Loved the Twig n Berries shot of the cactus!!!! Hahaha

[@MikeHarrison3266]

Oh, those wales, I thought you were on the wrong bit of water for a second.

[@michaelvanwinkle7919]

I really like the color and cut of your spinnaker that you highlighted on this video.

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Amy chose the colours when we visited the Rolly Tasker loft in Thailand, the cut is thanks to Rolly Tasker Sails.

[@karitane]

Choice of music was absolutely beautiful. Great vlog.

[@tomcraddock244]

Another wonderful video from two wonderful people Fair winds ⛵️

[@johnphillips-x6m]

Hey you two! .... Have loved all your videos which are fantastically inspirational. Following your journey has been in no small part the reason why I have recently bought a bigger boat, made the decision to semi-retire and spend longer periods afloat. I would love to catch up with you when you return to the UK. I live in Emsworth, Chichester Harbour. Can't wait for the next episode. Best wishes and fair winds. John.

[@malgraham351]

ALWAYS GOOD :)

[@roadboat9216]

Thanks. Very well done video. The views, drone and tastefully done music! Nice narration that doesn’t clash with the action nor music. Yes we enjoyed this area too. It fact for pure sailing, it’s really hard to beat the E Caribbean. We had quite a different experience once while going from this area to the Virgin Islands. Instead of very light winds we left port in moderate breeze and within a couple of hrs had sustained 40+ kts. Thank God behind us. Wow, we couldn’t wait to turn the corner into protected harbor. This is quite unusual. As we sailed the Caribbean for nearly 8 yrs and other than tropical systems ( this was not as it was winter). We had never had sustained winds this strong here. Enjoy the BVI’s. My favorite areas are the Baths and snorkeling and Scuba around the Indians.

[@vaughansamuelson6552]

Beautiful and restful. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@jmdibonaventuro]

Between the crabs, lizards, turtles, planes, tropical birds, whales, and super yachts, this one sure was interesting! Can’t wait to see the continuation of your journey and the next episode, and the time with Patreons. Fair winds, -J

[@ditch6389]

I would have run out of the way as well!!! That was close!

[@tonym1731]

Great music

[@edmundonmars5129]

This is a hardcore sailing channel

[@Yeaitstemp]

I love the looks i get when i pull my 1967 bristol 27 and anchor next to super yachts lol

[@thedogman14]

Always wonderful to share your experiences. Thank you.

[@rosco950ss7]

Great video and cinematography! Love the drone shots. Always look forward to your informative and inspiring video's.

[@wow.sailor.]

Wow Sailor 🥳🥳👍

[@cirrusvfr]

Glorious episode !

[@AHmad-pm4pb]

Again , beautiful storytelling 👍🏽. Enjoy your dream 💭!

[@vap0rland]

went to st barths in 1988 for a long weekend, it was magical - lived in st thomas at the time

[@factanonverba6169]

Magnificient, thank you for sharing.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

The richness of your life calls for a glass of milk to rinse it down. 🥛Thanks for sharing.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, wow what a beautiful place thank you for sharing I just love watching your videos you take me to places that I’ll probably never get to see but thanks once again keep up the good work Cliff from Logan city Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🏝️

[@jerrymacvaldosta]

Just stumbled on your VLOG. Very Very pleasantly surprised. Have been following a couple of other sailing Vlogs for a while, and have found yours to be a cut above even the famous (?) ones. From my prospective, yours is a more professionally produced documentary. Great video, incredible mix of information and personality. Seems almost like it was storyboarded in advance. Background music present and complementary. Thanks a lot (I'll be watching more now). Thanks for letting us look over your shoulder and follow along.

[@andrewmullen4003]

A year ago exactly I was sailing around the BVIs with some other veterans courtesy of BLESMA, had a great but pricey time, enjoy.

[@JohnTaylor-bf6ll]

I doubt if any of those super yachts can compete with your six years of adventure. So, guess who'll get the last laugh. And what kind of fanfare can await any vogage that's been made with a yacht well supplied with various deck-hands.!!! We're all waiting to see what next you'll be getting up to. Alors, au suivant.!!

[@darrylmcleman6456]

Deer also like bananna peels.CHEERS from Canadian Westcoast!

[@jamescoyle5913]

Some lovely sights in that video. Thanks for sharing

[@johnswan6759]

Fantastic video. Guys your camera work is stunning. Love coming in from the pub on friday nights and watching you two. ❤❤😊😊

[@bryangoldthorpe8906]

Loved the episode great footage as usual

[@Richrd03]

Im happy both of you. Nice voyage. I’ve been watching your videos since 2018..

[@johnmcanulty7341]

I am hearing noise about an active hurricane season. Please be safe. Asking for my wife as, I know you are excellent sailors. Liking and asking others to scribe. Good job.

[@KDbbasm]

Been watching since beginning, rarely comment. Just loved the peacefulness; felt like I was there with you. I hope you're both very well and enjoying every minute.

[@anthonyschroeder7458]

Your camera work seems somewhat better Nice episode guys , loved the vibe

[@ianbell5611]

Thank You. Great video as always. Cheers

[@yuchenjacobs2142]

Weird…… just dreamed about Amy. A new great episode born. Better than a notification.

[@isi2isi67]

All this is magical thanks for sharing

[@artfulalias3984]

Landing on a short runway is the aircraft version of navigating under sail near a lee shore. The urgency to land on the first half of the runway is is in case the landing must be aborted. What little length remains is needed to recover and lift off without going in the ocean. Cheers.

[@dkpow3349]

You guys inspire me to keep pushing and acquire my own vessel ! And hopefully an amazing friend to share it with ! Cheers!😊

[@liongod1000]

@Sailing Yacht Florence *_ Matt, at **6:45** you said that it was a TURTLE.... No mister it's a TORTOISE! Turtles are water-based 🌊little guys and the one you're mentioning is a Land-based creature... nothing but a TORTOISE! _* 😁🤪

[@sailingladyaquitaine]

Robert Rudolph sorry mister, he actually did say tortoise in his British accent....pretty certain he knows the difference between a tortoise and a turtle 😂

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

I do know the difference between a turtle and a tortoise it seems, however I did have to edit out the bit where I accidentally called it a mammal! I think the sun had got to me that day... You had me worried for a minute though!

[@chuonguyen123]

beauty camerawork. is very nice video

[@edgarchegwin961]

Hi Matt and Amy, It´s good to see you again. Yes, you are now hanging out where the rich and famous do, up in the Caribbean by the BVI´s. Well, I guess having a boat life has some advantages for sure. By the way I dont see there is nothing wrong with that, I wish I myself was there. As always, you caught beautiful, stunning aerial views from your drone around that area. I wish you the best for your next leg of sailing. Bear hugs, I love you guys, rgs 🌎⛵❤

[@theshyguitarist]

13:51...you thinking what I’m thinking? 😂

[@brianmason8597]

Another great video....Thanks

[@robertnixon3816]

Truely a cut above as always! Beautiful sailing in BVIs. I have to say that that was the best music with this video! Just over the top! New adventures await!

[@cvs8545]

Nice edit. Oh, and Amy's hair looks especially lovely!

[@philipwright7186]

My career skirted the superyacht industry for a while, and to hear how some of the owners and their families behave and their sense of entitlement. Believe me, it's enough to make your skin crawl, there really is nothing to be envious about! And as to how they fund them......

[@yankeexpress]

Technically, Puerto Rico has rainforest.

[@daveperry4391]

Thank you Guys, beautifully shot, proper sailors.

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Lovely as usual. Your videos are of such good quality. So much improved from your beginning. This one so peaceful and tranquil. Thank you.

[@eleutheros]

We have really been enjoying your channel, such great photography, and beautiful places to see.

[@maartentukker843]

Wauw, beautifull as ever!

[@timevans8223]

St Barts is one of our favourite spots. We often stop there. It's no more expensive than any other island in the French Caribbean

[@ericseidel4940]

In Croatia Islands, natural reserve section, you would pay 70€ PER NIGHT IN ANCHORAGE, on a 35 footer.
