Living the Dream: Offshore Trip to SLEEP on the Great Barrier Reef🎣😎 | NEW BOAT TOUR🤙

Join us on an unforgettable mission to a remote reef offshore, where we sleep out under the stars, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, eat freshly caught fish & witness the most breathtaking sunset.

[@stevepierce3509]

Just a tip mate of being a large boat owner and doing consecutive nights out on The Barrier Reef off Cairns. Sleep with your heads towards the bow of the boat. Its alot more pleasant. As the blood will not rush to your head so much. If you sleep offshore with your heads facing towards the stern of the boat its just like being hung upside down if you know what I mean. Blood rushes towards your head. Also have all your cabin hatches open to get a breeze running through. Ultimately with your new closed in cab, I would look into Air Con to make it pleasant at night when you look into your battery upgrade setup. Bloody beautiful Cat by the way mate, great choice of boat. Looking forward to seeing her on the water in the very near future. Aswell as the lads spearing Trout.

[@TripInAVan]

Cheers man

[@trevorwilson2966]

I always sleep towards the stern,i dont what your going on about,no issues for me.

[@claireparkyn1663]

Epic Video! loved it. Not Bullsharks! Tawney Nurse sharks :) very common in the warm waters of the Barrier reef! pretty harmless :)

[@brettschleter8023]

Love how you used a creed song for the intro

[@TheSaltySailfish]

Ayyy ive just bought one too absolutly love it

[@TripInAVan]

Epic!! Share any tips with me if ya got some 👍👍

[@TheSaltySailfish]

@@TripInAVan raise motors slightly if you’re reversing onto a fish but I’d avoid reversing out deep regardless gets a lot of wash in the motors/rear deck as they’re quite tail heavy boats. Full trim down will get you the highest speed. Use some WD or lanolin spray on the motors with the cover off, helps keep the salt off the engines with the reverse in swell/chop it’s inevitable even stand still. When anchored or on a mooring I trim them up a little too. Otherwise full send! You’ll love it great for the fam 🤙🏽

[@thebigw3377]

Rippa mate 👍 Show us some more island trips in range of trailer boats 🛥️

[@TripInAVan]

Will do, loving it

[@TJ_and_The_Mity_200]

Last time I did an over nighter with the bro inlaw down around the haunted house I got rocked to sleep best sleep ever. But once we hit Shore I was wobbly for hrs lmao standing still and still swaying hahahahaaaa 😂 😂 Loving the new adventures 😘😘😘

Hi guys if you get one of Coleman hot water heaters you can connect it to your freshwater and have warm showers in winter I also had a cheap microwave but my boat was a 30ft Kevlar cat so a bit more room

Great tip Thankyou

Looked like a lota fun mate 👍 take ear plugs to sleep next trip! Cheers 🍻

[@TripInAVan]

That's the plan!

[@mungbean84]

Get Bec behind the wheel, will help with the seasickness a bit to keep her mind busy and off being crook.

[@TripInAVan]

Absolutely

[@trevorcozens1677]

Get Bec to try some Ginger calm tablets. I am quite prone to sea sickness so I tried some on my last coastal trip in my mates yacht, when I helped him bring her down from Tauranga to Napier NZ last year. It took us about 45 hours. I was able to take my watches and do a brew up down below with out feeling crook. All the best with the new vessel, mate.

[@TripInAVan]

Will try for sure! Sounds like an epic trip

[@christopherembry8804]

Very keen to find out which way you go with small electric motor. I enquired for my sf 2800 and was advised it would probably struggle. I have 225s and use less fuel than the 150 option Great boat. You will have so much fun

[@TripInAVan]

Yeah I’m thinking the minnkota might be better as it’s a longer shaft and auto deploy…… still researching though

[@Rexy888]

I use an anchor app on me ph sets a gps perimeter and off too sleep i go no more worrying about that. Great boat too.👍

[@TripInAVan]

Oh nice, I’m gonna look that up. What’s the app called?

[@Rexy888]

Justin, the best remedy for seasickness is to eat a green apple 😊

I’ll get a few for the wife hey 👌👌

[@connornavarro9083]

Loving the new vids mate. What about a rooftop tent up the top? Might be a option if you can get some crossbars fabricated up top. 🤙

Cheers mate. There is to much gear up there for a tent, the radar and aerials etc…

[@lizthomson348]

Another good video guys ❤❤🎉🎉. Question to Bec? Will you do another book

[@TripInAVan]

Thanks mate! Yes, new book in the works 👍👍

[@stevepierce3509]

Grab some Autosmart AQUASEAL SiO2 to spray over your windows mate and stop that salt water sticking to them aswell as the AUTOSMART range of Boat washes to keep her in mint condition. Let me know how you go.

Cheers for the tip

Mate, let the kids learn. It's not always about you bro. You just took their glory away ,Let him catch it, let him net it. Thats how they learn before you snatched the moment away from them. KZbin gone to your head mate. No blowing smoke here bro.

[@TripInAVan]

That’s such a shit comment mate hey. The lads do heaps of stuff on their own. Including spear fishing their own fish later in the vid. With the Tuna, Billy actually asked me to get it in as his arms were to sore. Editing cut out about 5 minutes of that fight because I did leave them to it. Shits me that I have to justify myself to comments like this. I know I’m giving these kids a dam good childhood and plenty of opportunity to learn how to do things themselves. And I know my kids better than any one✌️
