Apparently, you don’t need years of sailing experience to become cruisers. You just need a boat, two dogs, and a willingness to figure things out somewhere around mile one. 😂⛵️
Meet Scott and Eryn, the crew behind Sailing Whisper, who live aboard their 1994 Fountaine Pajot Venezia, Whisper, with their two pups, Wh***ey and Rye.
When they bought Whisper in Miami in November 2025, they had absolutely ZERO sailing experience. Naturally, the next logical step was to sail her 300 nautical miles home to Sarasota in three days... while basically teaching themselves how to sail along the way. 😳
Apparently, they liked it.
A few months later, they quit their jobs, rented out their house, sold their cars, and moved aboard full time. And in their first six months aboard? More than 3,000 nautical miles under the keels.
Their cruising life kicked off with three months exploring the Bahamas before they headed up the U.S. East Coast, eventually making their way all the way to Maine.
These days, life aboard Whisper looks like exploring new coastal towns, beach days, happy hours, spearfishing, kiteboarding, and plenty of dinners and cocktails shared with friends aboard.
And then there’s the four-legged crew. 🐾 Wh***ey is apparently taking the whole “provide for the boat” thing VERY seriously and has caught everything from mullet and needlefish to blue crabs. Rye has a slightly different job description: find beach, locate tennis ball, play fetch until everyone else gives up. 😂
From learning to sail on the delivery home to logging thousands of miles in their first cruising season, Scott and Eryn are proof that sometimes the adventure starts before you have any idea what the hell you’re doing!
Give Sailing Whisper some Lats & Atts love with a follow and come along for the sailing, exploring, questionable decisions, dog shenanigans, and everything else that comes with figuring out cruising life one nautical mile at a time. 👇🏼
