We Grew Up On A SAILBOAT

We Grew Up On A SAILBOAT
We are sailing teenagers living on a boat sailing the world. If you are reading this I wanna say a big thank you for clicking on this video. Welcome to the first of many Kiwi Boys videos.
We are three brothers from the beautiful country of New Zealand, famous for it's sailing, who have been living on and off the ocean for the past 9 years. In 2018 we left land life behind in exchange for the liveaboard lifestyle of travel, adventure and maybe a little seasickness. It's been great! Alright I'll leave it there. See you in the next video!

Here it is Monday morning, Feb 5, 2024 at 8:15 Am, having leftover pizza and coffee and watching one of my favorite channels again, can't ever seem to get enough of the Kiwi Boys and the TheCruisingKiwis. Love every one of these videos.

[@danielwardin3609]

Here as a transfer from The Cruising Kiwis -- glad you have your own channel. Shalom and mazeltov! (Ask your Yiddish-loving mother.) Regards.

Thank you for commenting

No tip icon? No thanks button? Come on guys, your slacking $$. I can't wait to see more of you.

[@charmainemcdonald9679]

👏😀looking forward to more 📹🎥

[@raymorales9751]

It was a wonderful surprise to run across KIWI BOYS on You Tube!😮 I watched your family cruising through the Pandemic. It was always fun, but this new channel written, filmed and produced by you boys looks like its going to be a new and wild experience. I certainly will subscribe and support your channel. I hope your parents are well. I look forward to sharing this adventure with the KIWI BOYS for a long time to come. You put together and excellent premiere show. Congratulations and best of luck!🤟Declan, you were never expendable, a bit truculent and every bit an adolescent boy. But your presentation of this first episode you showed a confident, gifted and very creative young man, who is going to the heart of KIWI BOYS. 👍

[@kiwiboys]

Thank you for your amazing comment Ray. This made me smile. I hope you enjoy the videos to come 🙂

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Lovely comment thanks Ray. We are all well.

[@r.c5534]

Absolutely love the tremendous amount of adventure,self confidence,self reliance,faith,and optimism that your family nurtures,projects and lives.Your family is of that breed of men and women who challenge the odds and the prevalent narrative of social and individual dependence. Your family is the stuff of explorers and dreamers who get it done.

[@kiwiboys]

Wow, thank you. You couldn’t be more right. My dad has always had this dream of sailing around the world and to finally be doing it is amazing. I would say both our parents are adventurous. They don’t like sitting around doing nothing which has driven all of us to do this.

[@jamesvanian5524]

Wow! A fantastic first video guys. Really enjoyed it and look forward to future episodes. Loved the Outakes Declan. Keep well and safe. James.

[@kiwiboys]

Thanks James, appreciate it 😊

[@EltoV]

What a great episode to begin with! Content, video, and editing are on point. I wish you all the best with this channel and I'm looking forward to next episodes and more goofballery! 😂

[@kiwiboys]

Thank you so much, hope you like the next one. It’s a fun one (in my opinion) 😊

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Yehaa

[@sedatedape315]

Oh holy hell. I was hoping this might be a third family-boat of cruisers worthy of checking out. To find out this episode is starring the EMC I've been watching grow up in weekly vlogs for the longest time! Please keep it up Declan and Ivan 🙏🙏🙏 To see life through the perspective of you two/three will just add so much more diversity and depth to what we all (subscribers) see already.woth those vlog your parents release. Release when you feel you guys have something to share. I wouldn't jump into a "schedule" unless there's things you all want to share. In other words get started at your own pace. Thrilled this video just popped up on my KZbin home page! Subscribed right away!

[@kiwiboys]

Thank you thank you. I actually recognise your name from comments you’ve on cruising kiwis. How cool. Hope you enjoy our side of the family sail life. Looking forward to reading your comments. - EMC

[@sedatedape315]

@@kiwiboys I'm sure I'll enjoy your sides of the Cruising life. And don't worry....I tends to ramble on from time to time so replies will be included to majority of the vlogs. Suggestions: Ivan comedy vlog and Ivan sleep competition vlog 😁😁😁 See ya on the next one!

[@onaciam]

All of you are amazing and awesome to watch thanks

[@Gaibel2]

Great Video, i was in 1985 at New Zealand. Have a great time on your Boot. Best wishes from Switzerland....

[@jplant1414]

That was very nice of you to give your dad almost 3 full seconds of screen time. :)

[@davidcunningham5422]

Can never have too many sailing channels to watch! We will sit back and enjoy the adventure 👍⛵️🐬🇨🇦

[@richardnichols8100]

Awesome 1st vid lads. Nice work.

[@kiwiboys]

Thank you :)

[@Useless_Knowledge07]

Okay,..I am subscribed. Let's see what you got! Maybe we can blow your channel up!! In a grand way for sure. Start a $3 a month pay pal and I think many like me will be there!! Don't stop. Keep it Up! PS Ivon, always keep your legs closed when lifting heavy things. That will keep your nuts down low where they belong. I thought for sure you were going to get a hernia lifting that rudder.

[@bernardels92]

Oh yeeeeaaa! This is good 👌

[@maryalexander4091]

That was an epic first episode guys. Looking forward to the next!

Good on ya boys. Keep safe. Wishing you all the best from Australia.

[@davidholland2180]

This is the like 4 th time that I have watched this video, but it is the first time that I have commented and shared the video. You and your whole family are just so amazing, and I am kind of jealous, wish I could be there doing the same kind of thing, I sailed from Corpus Christi Texas to Cozumel in the Yucatan Peninsula in a 20 ft monohull, then to Key West Florida and back to Corpus, but that was forty years ago. I still wish to this day that I would have been able to continue sailing. So now I get to go along with the Kiwi Boys and The Cruising Kiwis. Keep up the great work.

[@abigailmarks3180]

Nicely done video :) I used to live on a boat too, for a year in the Gold Coast with my 11 siblings. Our boat was a dump though so we couldn't move around at all really XD We were considering a catamaran actually but they were all a little small for us so we bought a 80ft commercial fishing vessel. Also had the idea of doing a youtube channel but it never happened sadly 😭

[@kiwiboys]

11 SIBLINGS! wow that must’ve been pretty tight and cozy 😅

[@drkipper]

Congrats on an awesome start!

[@jeffross5424]

your parents i'm sure are very proud...i would be...looking forward to seeing your new adventures exploring this planet we call home, cheers!!!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

We are🙂

[@fiona4288]

That is so cool! I dont live o a sailboat, but me and my fam travel on land with a mobile home (a van but a bit bigger) and i absolutely wanna try sailing too!

[@kiwiboys]

When my parents were thinking about getting the boat they were also considering buying a van/bus and travelling NZ and AU. I think they made the right choice in the boat. That said I would love to do a van trip through America.

[@stephengreen2898]

Glad to see you guys… we know who you are from @2018 for me! Best of luck to Finn…. Go Finn!

[@austingarrison7089]

Awesome first video! Can’t wait to see more 🤙🏼

[@drivinglessons5813]

Quite a different lifestyle than the majority of the world... not something we get exposed to. But here, many people can see these alternative lifestyles and decide if it's for them. You boys were very lucky, so I appreciate that. I watch a lot of Finn Whitakers videos, and it's an exciting, adventurous life. I envy what you boys have. Stay safe. Stay real and be good to others... watching from Canada 🇨🇦

[@dennismartindale691]

Well done. Nice crisp editing.

[@al-karimabdulaziz8961]

That is the way to raise children, not necessarily on a boat but fully exposed to nature, incredibly loving parents and being exposed to different cultures, sports and arts and life at that age should be fun. Bravo to the family, May you always love each other as you do now.

[@johntomlinson6849]

And where do the doctors and scientists come from?

[@kiwiboys]

Thank you Al-Karim. We consider ourselves professional fun havers. :)

[@anthonyalvarez4788]

God I love you guys so much. I would love to do this. You have the best parents ever. I did not grown up like that , but pretty poor and no dad. so left me trying to make it all happen. had two half brothers I miss a lot. One was murdered and the police did nothing , every time I think of this my blood boils. anyway I am also a mutt and speak 5 languages and also have traveled a bit on my own. took my mom to some places and its a great satisfaction when she appreciates it. anyway I love you guys and you make me cry. hugs to all of you. and your dad rocks.

[@finn_hamill]

❤

[@kiwiboys]

Wow Anthony I can’t begin to imagine how tough all that must have been. It’s great that you’ve been able to travel and show your mum some of the world. I’m sure she must have really appreciated it. Travelling and learning a bit of the different languages is a bit tricky but fun. The fact that you can speak 5 languages is amazing. I’m really glad that you like our videos and I hope the ones to come are just as enjoyable.

[@billy-bo_]
