HOW TO MAKE MONEY AND LIVE ON A BOAT|| HOW DO WE AFFORD TO LIVE ON A BOAT || TRAWLER LIVING || S2E5

[@ralphholiman7401]

Every dollar you don’t spend, is a dollar you don’t have to make. And, every time I go to the keys, I get offered a couple of jobs, without even asking or looking. The businesses there are always hurting for people who will actually show up on time for work and give a full day.

[@frankseeney2320]

Y'all put out some very informative videos and just wanted to thank you. It's been a dream to live on the water and the research seems endless...thanks

[@WanderingKnapps]

Thank you for the encouragement!

[@stevemuskett9553]

He is spot on about finding work in the Keys. Ive been diving there for 50 years was a SCUBA instructor there and if you were on time and motivated for atleast the first week you were Management material! Get all the certs you can. I’m a Master Instructor through PADI, SSI, NASE and have a Captain license and never had a problem getting a job in the field. You guys rock keep following your dream 👍.

[@WanderingKnapps]

Thanks! We feel like we could be so overwhelmed with the work available. We are going based on faith that we could work elsewhere when needed. Such as the USVI. Thank you for watching.

[@frankrice5364]

Thier is nothing more beautiful than a working family working together for the same goals

[@WanderingKnapps]

Agreed. It's been the best.

[@Livewithpurpose239]

I love y’all’s level of faith in each other to accomplish whatever it takes to reach the goal. Beautiful family!

[@WanderingKnapps]

Thanks Adam!

[@stranobikes]

Either having minimal or zero debt is key. If you have debt you have no option but to make money. Also, you can live on surprisingly little if you want/need to. Another great video, thanks :)

[@WanderingKnapps]

Very true. We do have a few fixed expenses, insurance etc, as well as food and maintenance

[@never2oldadventures]

WoW guys. That's lots of information for sure. The one thing i gleaned out if it is, " you can do it if you are willing to do the work to get it done." So get out there and do it. Thanks for a great video. Lots more in depth then some others. It was great getting the perspective of other boat owners. Stay safe! Until our adventures cross.....

[@WanderingKnapps]

Thank you for watching and the kind words. Much appreciated. We have found that if you are wiling to work you could be overwhelmed with the amount of work available.

[@deankoch7305]

Great info. Thanks. I just bought a 35 foot pocket cruiser. It has 3 doubl births and a pilot house. I'm hoping I will be able to live on it and make money with it. Seems to be a way better life than goung to work for someone else anymore.

[@WanderingKnapps]

I like it! I have not missed the rat race at all. Thanks for watching. Enjoy your new Journey!

[@CaptainJohn1972]

Love the video...have now subscribed. Saw your old home was Fort Worth....Went to AHHS back in the late 80s.....

[@WanderingKnapps]

We are from Oregon originally, but yes moved to Fort worth. We consider ourselves Texans

[@jerryobrien8352]

Thanks for sharing the info. I love your down to earth real videos. It all really seems very possible! Hope things are well for you guys.

[@WanderingKnapps]

Seriously, Thank you for that kind comment. We get some terrible ones. Thanks for watching.

[@troccllc665]

Halleluiah and congratulations....! I AM ever so inspired...! Thank You for sharing your On Water Life.... God Bless you all..... Eric

[@donacardenasHomes]

This was great. A lot of ideas and more in-depth then other videos with the same title!! Thanks

[@WanderingKnapps]

Thank you for watching. It is much appreciated and thank you for the kind comments.

[@daviddegirolomo2562]

Just found the Knapps ! Wonderful to see , lovely family

[@mikeramsey9747]

You guys are a motivated family and will do well.

[@WanderingKnapps]

Thank you very much for the encouragement

[@josephkordinak1591]

Good Ideas guys, I got about 12 years till I can go on the water full time. I have too many years in a job with a pension and kids with an ex to do it now but one of these days.

[@WanderingKnapps]

Time will go fast. Keep dreaming and planning. It came a lot faster for us than we thought. We actually felt pretty ready after learning a lot from others.

[@Universeloading99.9]

You've gave me great info thank you Wish you and your family a lot of love keep up the great videos 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Hirsutecyclist]

I'd really love to know specifics regarding costs. Esp. with kids. As of a few weeks ago, I now have two of those, so I have to do some more creative life planning. :D

[@HotRodDave]

Thanks for sharing. Good info.

[@tmac709]

Interesting....

[@WanderingKnapps]

Thank you for watching.

[@takamoron.]

I’m sixteen and I’ve wanted to live on a boat since I was 10. I’m dive certified and think I could do some fishing or boat captaining for money to live on a boat. You really seem to have it together and I really wanna know your take on that and what I should do in college to further a career on the water

[@WanderingKnapps]

What kind of career on the water are toy looking for? What is it you want to do?

[@stephenshea7277]

Just found you and enjoying your videos. We are in Canada and my wife and I are thinking of buying a boat in Florida, and hoping to rent it out in a marina VRBO until we can livecaboard in a few years. Is this something that the marina would allow? Do you know of someone that foes this? Any advice would be great. Thank you Steve

[@WanderingKnapps]

Thank you so much for watching. As far as VRBO on a boat, you'll have to call each marina. Every marina has differnt rules what they allow. That sounds like a great idea

[@cq7415]

Thanks

[@offroaddemon1991]

Well my family and i have been trying to achieve this very same goal for 3 years now i am a certified automotive technician. So after watching your video im feeling pretty confident that I will be able to find work where we travel to thanks great video and hope to join you on the ocean some day soon!!

[@WanderingKnapps]

Oh man. You'll have more work available than you know what to do with. Chris has to turn work down. If you are half decent and willing to work. You'll be great

[@offroaddemon1991]

@@WanderingKnapps awsome now just gotta find the right time to sell the old boat and buy the new boat in Florida

[@Maelstrom2077]

yo i just have one question, i am planing on getting a job that pays 130k a year, is it affordable to live on a boat?

[@righthandpath6507]

I cook and live on my boat any resteraunts near the water?:)

[@henderjess900]

What’s with the monster music at10:00

[@WanderingKnapps]

Ha. I had no idea, so I had to go watch it. KZbin put in a copyright free music and I just changed it. What do you think? Jolene

[@javierbetancourt9388]

💯

[@WanderingKnapps]

Thank you so much

[@dangerousideas5356]

sweet mother of god do not do a "multi level marketing company" to fund your boat or anything else. all MLM companies are scams.

[@WanderingKnapps]

Ha. Definitely we aren't

[@relentlessjoy2172]

Do they need part time RNs in the Keys?

[@WanderingKnapps]

Not sure. But I think as an RN you can go work anywhere in the country. I have never heard of a surplus of RNs anywhere. Thanks for watching! Enjoy the Journey!

[@tapptom]

That 55 mermaid dosent need to work like this She has the money I think

[@sousalarson6858]

Need to have as little debt as possible. *stares at my student loans*

[@WanderingKnapps]

Thanks for watching. Enjoy The Journey!

[@trystensilver6434]

If you are diabetic, you’ll struggle to get your captain’s license. Just a heads up.

[@trystensilver6434]

That rule only applies to guys. Women can’t get work that easy.

[@jbl7092]

How to finance living on a boat. Get a job. Brilliant.

[@johnmcturk]

these guys are flat out liars , the flashlights i just bought from them didn't even come close to their claims

[@WanderingKnapps]

I'm sorry i have no idea what this comment has to do with our video. But thanks for watching!

[@Jim.Thunda]

Talking to someone wearing sun glasses is like talking to someone wearing a mask, it's arrogant.

[@WanderingKnapps]

Thanks for watching. We post videos every Friday. Check out this weeks episode, it was a scary day for sure.

[@justinthyme7275]

Get over yourself, Jimmy.

[@pmaint1]

Jim, you're showing your arrogance. Looking at the shadows the sun is probably in his eyes. At least he not wearing a mask. So he's not as arrogant as you thought.

[@Jim.Thunda]

@@pmaint1 Then your showing your ignorance, the camer man should have moved him to a better position, your only looking for an excuse, maybe you had something to do with that video. You obviously haven't heard the saying " The eyes are the windows to the soul " If l can't see your eyes when your talking to me, your hiding the truth in what your saying. If your happy talking to someone behind a mask that's your choice.

[@pmaint1]

Jim, While it's true that the eyes are the windows to the soul, he's not talking to you, he's talking to a camera and you're watching him on a monitor. Even if he didn't have sunglasses on you still wouldn't be able to see his eyes So there's nothing personal about it.
