What a beautiful and magnificent boat. Thank you for sharing your home on water. It is interesting. One thing I noticed is that it is very freeing and minimalist versus if you were to live on land. You have packed so much in such little space and yet it is so spacious. I love it! 🩵🩵🩵

[@quill6211]

It’s like a Pirate Ship. Well done

[@andrealinda6069]

I watched the movie on Laura probably a dozen times. I never thought I’d grow an interest in sailing.

[@rikmanger8886]

Hallo Laura wat een prachtige boot heb je echt de stijl en lengte vind ik erg mooi. Ik ben best een klein beetje jaloers al weet ik dat dat geen goeie eigenschap is ik zeg het je eerlijk geweldig Laura geniet er maar van. Als zeiler ben je ook heel goed bezig je weet wat je kan en je doet het allemaal in je eentje wel super goed. Top gefeliciteerd.

[@rinagray1846]

Very proud of you Laura xx

[@eaunan]

Excellent video. Beautiful boat.

[@williams.benjaminiii9043]

Who amongst us would not want any sailing lesson we could get from Laura Dekker that she could give. I'm typing this with one hand because the other hand is in the air and I totally already know how to sail for some forty years now. I'm listening.

[@emanueldatki3997]

I love you message: Life should be a Journey Not A Destination. xoxo

[@artstrology]

I am reminded of your solo trip as we go through many stories of rescue and water in June 2023. The migrants, the children rescued after 40 days in the Columbian jungle, and the tragedy of the submariners going to the Titanic. Your accomplishments and standard, serve as a home base for all things, survival on the sea. I tell them, the pancakes for Poseidon are not a physical payment, but a measure of the heart connected with the sea. Laura Dekker teaches this. Laura Dekker can be my captain, and I do not submit lightly. Follow or emulate the heart of the sea if you wish to travel upon her. I salute you for who you are and what you have done, and I do this as a harsh critic. Humanity is gifted.

[@ogilviemail]

Maidentrip brought me here. Awesome documentary. ⛵️

[@ericschindle9347]

Fantastic boat.

[@michaelfennell906]

Hi Laura Great to see you again .. "big" Guppy looks Great .. im so pleased for you and your family .. i look forward to following your videos .. without doubt a true inspiration of our time .. keep playing your music & Smileing Michael Glasgow

[@philiphemmings3739]

Lovely boat!

[@roberthennel]

Laura, You have been one of the people who inspired me to start boating. I have the utmost respect for what you have achieved and have been doing. Keep up the great work and hope to meet you at sea one day!

[@sailingjoa]

whaaaa.... this is amazing, great 🦄 🥰

[@conradsenior5843]

Thanks Laura, Bob is a friend of mine and I've given some thought to buying one of these. It is perhaps his most significant achievement in yacht design. Your tour was fantastic. I particularly liked the info on the life jacket tethers. I learned something new watching this. I'm always grateful for that. One things I'll add. Life jackets need a crotch strap so it's not pulled off people when they are hauled up by it. No doubt you know that, but did not mention it. You have done a nice job modifying the boat for your purposes. Looks like a highly profitable operation. For those of you watching. Check out the short drone video of the boat under sail at hull speed. I watched it half a dozen times.

[@avefreetimehaver5154]

Big Guppy indeed. Nice use of the mirrors!

[@oldlob]

Beautiful boat, thanks for the tour. Always look forward to your videos. Please don't loan Guppy to anyone.

[@stony7827]

hello laura, nice to see you again after a long time. I can still remember your circumnavigation from 2010 very well :-) Guppy-II is a very nice boat, thank you very much for the roomtour. All the best and my best regards from austria

[@trippontwowheels]

Yay! My favorite sailor is back.

[@natty55555]

So am I. My favorite sailors are Laura and Alex Thomson.

[@johndavidson6867]

Very nice Laura, I really like how you adapted the boat to fill your needs. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more of GUPPY as you continue to give a life time experience to young people. Take care and stay safe.

[@foresterboy2011]

Someone's all grown up now !! I watched your video way back when at about 15 yrs old you achieved permission from the authorities aswell as your parents to sail the globe. Wow, Wow, Wow. Laura you are one amazing lady so may your life be full of new ventures and new adventures. Total admiration from the UK 🇬🇧

[@simonwilson1211]

Me too! Hope everything goes to plan.

[@thomaseisenhuth]

Tolles Boot, Laura! Ich bin schwer beeindruckt. Und ich freue mich riesig für dich, was du erreicht hast. Liebe Grüße aus Wien, Thomas

[@grahammewburn]

What a wonderful vessel! CONGRATULATIONS Cheers Gray Australia

[@StemtoSternSailing]

Laura. You are just one...... but than again you are one of the truly extraordinary and important ones. Best wishes for you and those around you on this magnificent boat.

[@andersbayer]

How nice to see!! What a beautiful and practical big, little ship! And clean and tidy as well. I'm so amazed by your whole idea! 💙⛵🌊 Cause life is a journey, not a destination 🌎

[@pierrecadieux1006]

What a beautiful lady, the Most beautiful Sailboat I ever Seen. Congratulations Laura.

[@italopiccardo1362]

You are a great woman and l admire you very much😊. I think giving life to your dreams is beautiful. Congratulations on the boat.👋

[@ivok496]

Beautiful boat Laura, thank you very much for sharing this tour! Really enjoyed and very spacious boat. Great what you are doing with kids and hope you can do this for a long time. Would love to see more videos of sailing adventures or passages. Fair winds!

[@TomTirabasso]

I never expected this boat to have so many toilets and showers! :) It really is quite nice and looks very comfortable.

[@drjohnson98]

Good to see you Laura. Our family followed your saga with great interest. I showed your story to my daughters to inspire them. I have wondered what you have been up to since your circumnavigation. Very happy to see you still doing what you love.

[@julien.pubert]

Hi Laura, when I saw your movies, I start to sailing school and now I just want sailing.

[@SailingPachamama]

This is only half of a tour! Left out the most important stuff I really want to see the deck, rigging, cock pit and all the real sailing bits. (: Thanks for sharing your new home with us.

[@lauradekkerworldsailingfou2133]

We will absolutely do a technical tour of the boat as well, I agree that’s the more fun part but opening up floors and lockers with a big group of kids running around can be challenging 😜

I'm happy to see there's a new Guppy, finally! Looking forward seeing your new adventures.

[@howardpierce8460]

Sailing around the world is one thing taking on a load of kids is another:)

[@keeseykpunter5907]

Wow you dreamed of this some three years ago, presented drawings of a boat like this and now, a few years on, it is realized! You're a blessed woman! I hope you'll use Guppy XL as you envisioned for many years to come.

[@keith800]

Wow Laura , That is such a bountiful boat , I love the standard of finish and the innovative way of utilising all the space on board , cant wait to see more of your videos when you are up and under way .

[@alexandroskatsis8649]

Thankyou Laura. Love your work you do with teenagers.. With love from Greece

[@MattFoleysGhost]

He accent is endearing. Dutch, Irish?, Australian, etc. it sounds like the world. She’s a sailor indeed.

[@ParabrisasMotocicletas]

Nope. Simply Deutsch/German. Even so, it doesn't fit to some.

[@wangofree]

Beautiful boat Laura!

[@bayanicustodio3998]

Big Guppy has a beautiful interior... you sure have been working diligently on your dreams. 👍🙂

[@kieranpieters8943]

Beautiful yacht. If I am not mistaken this is a Scorpio 72. Have great memories sailing one of these in the med. not the quickest, but safe as a bunker. Bon Voyage.

[@williambunting803]

I think that is the best boat interior I have seen to date. Awesome.

[@MarcvanExel]

A beautiful boat and a gorgeous interior. Happy sailing!

[@theMezianaThai]

Superbe Scorpio 72 !!!

[@janetlettrich2705]

What a spectacular vessel! I love the porthole wind scoop in the galley. Genius!

Thank you for the tour Laura, Guppy sure is one comfy boat! Calm seas 'n happy landfalls. Brian TopHat 25'

[@wimmol]

Mooi schip , wens jullie mooie reizen toe .

[@MCP53]

Living on a narrowboat in the UK with just a single 100W solar panel, I can totally relate to your electricity consumption anxiety on Little Guppy! For a month either side of the winter solstice I have needed to run the engine, just for a few more amps! My off-grid lifestyle doesn't agree with that, but even today I had enough solar to charge the main batteries, my laptop and my phone. Good enough for the canals :-)

[@askjshucgass]

Welcome back! Very nice boat ;)

[@mrsmd4616]

You are a Legend. Sending love from Falmouth Uk ✌

[@arbekaswashbucklers9592]

Big Guppy is beautiful! Thanks for the tour!

[@dogwhiskers8]

What a great boat. You must love it. Thank you for the tour. I spent my youth on the water, boating. Miss it. :)

[@ryansargent9463]

Thanks for sharing!

[@91frankthetank]

Laura!!! Thank you for the tour!! One day I will take a sailing class in Chicago. I loved your film. You are the bravest person I have ever witnessed! Incredible story. You are incredible!

[@yvette2245]

Ha Laura...leuk om je nog steeds een beetje te kunnen volgen. Ik ken jou nog ...van de periode dat je met je kleine Guppy in t Eiland van Maurik lag en de grote woonark van je vader , die aan de kop vd steiger lag.. niet wetende dat je zo,n grote zeilster was/bent. Ook lag ik met mijn zeilboot op de Oosterschelde , toen je uitvoer voor de grote solotocht...Diepe bewondering

[@tWoforgamenot1]

so now i will look for a video of her under sail :) Thank you. I subscribed & Will Be Looking :)

[@rodrigomelendez8042]

Very Nice the GUPPY matress..!!

[@tiben8457]

Congratulation! This guppy is so beautifull. All the best wishes for you from mauritius

[@dylanjj]

This is beautiful ship! Thank you so much for the tour I've been really curious for a while. Also thanks for the inspiration, I bought my first sailboat last year and I doubt I would have if I hadn't been inspired by maidentrip. I have a Hunter 30 Cherubini :D

[@GoosdeVries]

Wow, mooi jacht Laura. Veel succes met het waarmaken van julie dromen!

[@mannyrich7083]

What a beautiful boat! Absolutely love it! The interior is also breathtaking 😄 Thank you for the tour Laura 👍

[@marvinfernandes6191]

Laura Je bent zo een mooie inspiratie. Je laat zien dat leven op t water mogelijk is. En voor dromers als mij zelf ben je een rots in de dromen branding en geniet ik door jou alleen al van t idee! Omdat ik je al van 14 volg lijkt t of ik je ken en door andere overeenkomsten ben ik n beetje van je gaan houden! Sail on groeten uit 11 steden land!

Love your vessel and the Guppy bedspreads are a very nice touch. Miles Cobbett

[@josephtupil3945]

I'm inspired💓🙏

[@mrdsn189]

Thank you for the wonderful and informative tour!

[@michaeledwards-us7nd]

Love the woodwork Laura. Especially the handrails at the steps. Gorgeous. After I watched Maidentrip I decided to take early retirement from the civil service and to spend my remaining days backpacking the world (I have no boat unfortunately 😅). So thank you for the inspiration. Michael from Ireland. (I will fly to the US in the Spring to hike the PCT)

Uauuu! Congratulations from Brasil, I love you...(luiz 83 years)

Proud to sub,Thank you.The years go by fast.Seems just yesterday I had tears rolling down my face as you pulled in to the harbor.

[@henkspuijbroek9610]

Hallo Laura, Ik was heel nieuwsgierig en vind het dus leuk om te zien waar mijn favoriete zeilster mee bezig is. Ben ook nu weer, net als bij je wereldreis, plaatsvervangend trots dat je doet wat je doet nu met de tieners. Ook indrukwekkend dat je het zo professioneel aanpakt. Heel veel succes en zie uit naar volgende video.

[@svprivasea8365]
