Sail the world with us — from the palm-lined beaches of Antigua & Barbuda, through the crystal-clear waters of Bonaire and Curaçao, all the way to the remote San Blas Islands and across the Panama Canal into the Pacific. This isn’t just a trip — it’s an epic journey of a lifetime. Join us for a few unforgettable weeks and experience the liveaboard lifestyle. Kite and wingfoil in steady trade winds, surf waves in remote breaks, explore freediving and snorkeling in vibrant underwater worlds, and sail the open sea.

Next stop: the Caribbean!
Our mission to continues in 2025. 🤙

The steady tradewinds rustle through palm trees as waves roll steadily over reefs and onto pristine white sands. In the Caribbean, the ocean calls with warm water swells, kiteboarding and foil playgrounds, and vibrant underwater worlds. It’s an undisputed paradise for those who live for the sea.

Join us as we explore the Caribbean, let’s ride the waves together, and be part of our mission to document key stories that inspire audiences to take action and protect marine and coastal environments.

On the Water People Expedition our mission is to , and in the Mediterranean we couldn’t ignore the plastic pollution. During our journey, we reached out to marine biologist Sergio Ruiz-Halpern from Save The Med, who revealed a deeper issue: microplastics.

Using a manta trawl net, we discovered just how widespread microplastics are. And once ingested, they can cause physical harm and toxic chemical exposure — not just to marine life, but potentially to us too. For us this has been a wake-up call and has made us question what we can do differently in our lives and how we can make our voices heard to governments and industry.

Our film LEARNING TO LIVE FROM THE SEA is ready to watch! https://www.waterpeople.world/protect/film-learningtolivefromthesea

The oceans give us so much, and as part of the Water People Expedition we’ll be trying to give something back with a new series of ‘Protect’ stories.

The goal with this first one, filmed on our old boat, was to explore foraging in our local surrounds as a means of being more self-sufficient and as a possible way to reduce our environmental footprint. The journey took us over 3000 nautical miles and we met numerous heroes who shared their knowledge and skills with us.

Thanks to the Lighthouse Foundation, all of our contributors, Blue Element Freediving, Headhunter Spearfishing, patreons supporting us during production, and those of you who made separate yet important contributions. Thank you ❤️

We finally arrived at our new home!

It was more than a year ago that we decided to start the process of selling our beloved Cherry Ripe and make the switch from monohull to multihull. The promise of more space for living on the water and being able to share the journey with others were our motivations.

We are so excited that the time has come to invite YOU to join the upcoming voyages!

We will start sailing in April in Greece and then move on to find some good kitesurf spots in Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica. Then freediving and anchor hopping in the Balearic Islands. Next on the planning is to score some waves in the Canary Islands. Is this something that sounds up your street? Send us a message, or for more info go to http://www.waterpeople.world
