Imagine this…
Escaping the Rat Race to Live a Life of Freedom, Travel and Adventure!
• More quality time with your kids
• A minimalist, off-grid life powered by sun and wind
• Immersing your family in diverse cultures and countries
• Living economically from evergreen, location-free income
• Tapping into the wisdom of a global cruising community
We’re Woody and Irenka, creators of Youtube Channels Mothership Adrift and Mothership Maintenance. After sailing around the world with our three kids - armed with decades of experience in yachting, sea rescue, and running an RYA training centre - we're now helping other families break free from the 9–5 grind and start a life afloat.
Through our videos, articles, and upcoming book launching this November, we share everything we’ve learned so you can start your own journey with fewer mistakes and more momentum.
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 ❤️
