Liveaboard Tips & Tricks

HELLO! WELCOME TO S/V WANDERLUST!

We're Quinn and Ben, a regular Midwestern couple from Kansas City, Missouri, and our mission is to live every day to the fullest!

So we put our careers on hold, sold everything, bought a sailboat named Wanderlust, and set sail on a two year sabbatical from the real world. Our boxer dog, Ruca, made us a crew of three. We're back on land now, pursuing other new and exciting adventures (hello parenthood!), but we couldn't be happier to share our life-changing journey with you!
