Escape the Rat Race and Live a Life of Freedom, Travel and Adventure!

Imagine..

  • ..a life with more quality time with your kids

  • ..a minimalist life living off renewable resources

  • ..an outdoor life, experiencing different countries and cultures

  • ..a more economical life living off evergreen assets

  • ..drawing on the wisdom of a community already living that life

We're Woody and Irenka from S/V Mothership. After decades working in the yachting industry, rescue services, running our own RYA training centre and traveling the world with our three kids, we have oodles of knowledge, fascinating insights and practical experience to share. Through our online content we aim to inspire families just like you, to break free from conventional norms and pursue a life less ordinary!

Don’t just imagine it. DO IT!

  • These guys are simply amazing! Honest, funny, informative and well made videos about life on boats. We've been living on a boat for nearly a year now, and we've met so many families who've also been inspired to follow their dreams by Mothership Adrift ❤️
