Sailing around the world with 4 children under 12! Welcome aboard TOREA VI @Sailing with six

This Dufour Gib'Sea 51 is THE BEST MONOHULL for large families wanting to go exploring the world needing something strong, reliable, super roomy and yet affordable.
A unique layout with 5 cabins which do not compromise on the giant salon, a practical galley, a huge walk-though cockpit and generous storage capacity for everything you need to live-aboard year around. This is basically the one boat out there that can make it possible for families who can't find anything to sail around the world without being on top of each other, or alternatively for a group of friends to go set sail together in search of the most perfect surf breaks and who need privacy from one another as well as a ton of room for their gear.
Torea VI is the happy home of the most extraordinary family we have met! @sailingwithsix (Look them up on Instagram and check their KZbin videos!) We are all madly in awe of them and of course of their boat, which has just now hit the market as they decided that it was time for them to look for a catamaran. It was a tough decision as they adore their boat and know they can trust her no matter what, but with a dad working remotely, all four kids home-schooled and two of them fast becoming teenagers, it is time to look for something larger.
This beautiful boat is brought to you in turnkey condition, with two subsequent owners, (her previous French family who sailed her to Australia with a bunch of kids too, and her current family), who both continually improved on her design to suit her to serious offshore cruising and independence when living on board.
(Please note this boat is now sold and the family is off to Mexico to purchase their next boat, but a very interesting video to watch if you seek inspiration on how to fit out a similar boat for live-aboard living and independent world cruising, especially with a large family!).
-------------------------
For more information please get in touch with us. In spite of the restrictions imposed by Covid-19 we have been able to help families begin their cruising dreams thanks to video calls and completely open communication Let us know if you have any questions, would like to chat with the owners, or find out how to survey, purchase, register, import , deliver your new boat home, or how to come to meet us here in Fiji and start your live-aboard life in paradise. There are no silly questions and we would simply love to welcome you to our cruising community!

Our 3 boys remember it as the best time of their lives so far, they were 6, 8, and 10 when we left 21 years ago!

strong families make strong counties ,these memories will be with them for life.thank you

[@FrankJamger]

Sailing around the globe with a large family is an extraordinary enterprise that only extraordinary people carry out. A big fan of @sailingwithsix, I'm unsurprised that you declared them "the most extraordinary family we have met!". Having done considerable review of sailing channels, I declare @sailingwithsix to be the most enjoyable one there is. It features great locations, fine videography, energetic exploration and recreation, engaging liveaboard experience, and first-rate editing, but most importantly, this enthusiastic, lovable family. Sailing life is demanding enough, but Kris and Shona have found the time to contribute to the world four fine characters and a unique video documentary.

[@davenisbet3028]

love this! - you're teaching your kids resilience and cooperation. In a world with so many helpless people, this is so refreshing! Well done!

[@cherrypickerguitars]

And they are doing it with a VERY small carbon foot print compared to a family of 6 in a suburban environment! An amazing way to live! I’m about to begin my retirement on a 42’ Island Packet Centre cockpit/aft cabin - I can’t wait for spring and I’m off! Starting on Lake Erie in the Great Lakes, first destination - winter in the Caribbean!

[@sionbenjamin4513]

Wonderful family! Great to see the kids are all involved in what is happening onboard! Cheers!!

[@kaspar_1982]

kid at the end is on a forever left, in paradise.

[@cherrypickerguitars]

These sailing “family men” must have balls of steel ! 25 day ocean passages are nothing to take lightly, let alone packing your most dear possessions along! Kudos!

[@harbourdogNL]

Nice for a change to see some parents letting their kids take risks and being adventurous.

[@blueclue57]

Impressive work to modify this to fit the needs of the family. Wonderful video that captures the spirit of this vessel. Thx!

[@pearlyshells2430]

well adjusted kids.....future looks bright for them.....

[@NautilusYachtManagement]

Yes, these kids are really incredible! You should see them out kite surfing and surfing like little champs and yet so humble and easy going. Extraordinary!

[@pearlofqatar7779]

Captain Q and Nautilus the only "sailing" channels to watch....nice little ship for a small family. well done again....agree about the batteries.

[@lindajackson618]

Awesome boat, love it.

[@cathyryno4542]

We are still searching for our Liveaboard with a budget but able to negotiate now. Dufour Gib Sea is my dream vessel for sure.

[@thebentley71]

A wind, & hydro generators would also both be good to help keep the lithium ion battery bank charged.

[@mikemessina6710]

You should be in the videos, I'm sure I speak for a lot of others who feel the same way.

[@NautilusYachtManagement]

Thanks Mike! ☺️ I pop in every now then but these guys are what it's all about!

[@barracuda781]

I looked at you with pleasure.It's a pity that you can only put one like... A comfortable wind for you!

Great set up! What kind of work does dad do remotely out of interest?

[@cathyryno4542]

Is this available? Or it has been sold?

[@captainsudden1709]

Great looking family and appear very happy! Looking at the video, trying to figure out where the boat is located, year, specs, etc., asking price?

[@captainsudden1709]

Found it! Had to click on more.

[@NautilusYachtManagement]

@@captainsudden1709 thanks for watching! The Yachtworld advert with full info will be live later today and we will insert the link in the video description. In the meantime let me know if you have any questions!

haha,51 looks so much smaller with all this people on it from further away !

How do the children qualify their schooling? Grammar school, junior high and high school education and diplomas?

[@workdays8280]

Boaring check out captain rocket Darwin to philpines a bit of real. We had to Fast faward

[@Maloy7800]

What happened to the first five Toreas?

[@NautilusYachtManagement]

😅 It just means that there were 4 other Toreas registered in Australia so they had to pick a higher number if they still wanted to use the name. Very popular name!

[@Maloy7800]

@@NautilusYachtManagement So... not lost to horrendous hurricanes? 😞 Just math. Sighhhhh

[@josemartucci1]

Can you tell me how much this boat is worth.

[@wilhelmhernandez7054]

I have been 6 years waiting to do this now I have found a lady to help me and she has three children

[@mattshaffer7699]

Wait.... Pumpkins?!? You keep potatoes, onions, and..... PUMPKINS in the fridge?!? Why?!?

[@NautilusYachtManagement]

Bahaha! technically it's a crisper, but if there is room for more hardy veggies then it's good to have somewhere to put them. Don't forget it's about 32 degrees minimum every day at the moment, and about 95% humidity. Even pumpkins will start to suffer in this weather. ☺️

[@drx1xym154]

odd question - never been in the tropics for very long... or are you just longing for the tropics, mate???

[@NautilusYachtManagement]

@@drx1xym154 then that makes sense ☺️ As for us, we have been running the Fiji base for 3 years. 🏝

[@jimmybrokos4610]

✝️=❤️. I would love to purchase your sailboat I am in USA .

[@NautilusYachtManagement]

Hi Jimmy, would love to chat and see how we can make this happen. Can you email me your details? [e-mail] Kind regards, Anna

[@kidsofreedom]

what about education ?

[@Jo.King_]

Shouldn't the children be at school??

[@pawelpap9]

They will not be able to do basic math, but they will have great swimming stories to tell. They will also miss on lifetime friendships normally made at this age.

[@brandonschmidt53]

@@pawelpap9 your friends with grade school friends still? How neat.

Some of the most accomplished, educated & successful people were not forced to attend part time imprisonment facilities for the purposes of forced indoctrination on account of the convenience of profit / theft operations & processes.
