After an overnight sail, we’ve arrived at this stunning island in the Great Barrier Reef—one of the most beautiful, remote places we’ve ever experienced. We’re diving into crystal-clear waters, surrounded by amazing marine life, including turtles, rays, and even manta rays! But what happened next completely shocked us, especially considering we’ve only been back for less than two months.

Ahoy! We’re the James Family, a trio sailing around the globe and sharing our family-friendly adventures every week! Sam hails from New Zealand, while Cait is from the United States; we met in Cairns, Australia. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we eloped, and a year later, our family grew with the arrival of Charlie! In 2022, we took the leap to follow our dream, sold everything, and bought an old, unfinished aluminum catamaran. Now, we’re fixing her up as we explore the world.
