Hello!

Sailing SV Delos is what many people dream of – sailing around the world to exotic destinations in a beautiful boat with a super fun group of people, who all happen to be friendly and gorgeous. They go on amazing adventures, and they even brew moonshine on their boat. What more could you ask for?

In our Extraordinary Series here on Making Sense of Cents, we like to feature people who are doing things a little differently. So, we knew that interviewing SV Delos should be next!

As you may know, we also live on a sailboat. So, getting the opportunity to interview SV Delos was something we was really excited about doing!

Before our interview, let's  give you a little backstory on the sailing vessel Delos and the crew.

It all started in May of 2008 when Brian Trautman bought SV Delos.

Brian had been sailing around the lakes of Seattle for several years, but had never really thought about living on a sailboat, much less sailing around the world. Until one day when he found a book in the library that explained how to cross the ocean on your own boat. It was an eye-opening moment for Brian.

He spent the next four years dreaming and planning for the first epic trip – sailing to New Zealand. He sold nearly everything, and bought SV Delos in May of 2008.

It took around a year after Brian and his crew set sail from Seattle to reach New Zealand.

Funny story, a few months after reaching New Zealand, SV Delos sailed to Australia where Brian and the crew realized they had completely run out of money. So, they parked SV Delos for a year in order to work and save up money.

Eventually, another sailor gave them the idea to start a Youtube Channel (they bought a camcorder for $200 in order to start), and it all exploded from there. They now have a HUGE dedicated following and earn a great living through their YouTube platform.

SV Delos is now home to Brian's wife Karin, his brother Brady, and Brady's girlfriend Alexis. They've had a number of additional crew members join them over the years, the come and go crew, and they have since sailed SV Delos to 45+ countries and some 70,000+ ocean or nautical miles.

And, Brian and Karin recently welcomed their newest crew member aboard SV Delos – their new baby!

If you are at all interested in the sailing life, then you have probably heard of SV Delos. And, if you're not wanting to sail anytime soon, their videos on the SV Delos Youtube Channel are definitely the best, and still extremely fun to watch!

The sailing world has some of the best Youtube channels, and one of our favorite to watch is SV Delos.

Recently we had the opportunity to interview Brian Trautman of SV Delos. 

Asked him questions about:

• His sailboat
• How the SV Delos Youtube channel makes money
• About the SV Delos Patreon account
• How many hours he puts towards this successful business
• Whether or not he's saving for retirement
• How long he sees himself sailing on SV Delos
• How things will change with a new baby aboard
• And more!
