A couple living in a 40th catamaran with two children and a dog saying that they are able to navigate only in the Bahamas is extraordinary – but people always ask how everything fit.
Dale Arbogast, 38, and fiancé, Kristina, 28, have embraced boat life since May 2024 and after a full -time live update on a $ 450K catamas in a marina in Florida, with her children and their dog atlas.
And while giving them the kind of freedom that most of us can dream of, it’s not everything with simple sailing.
Kristina says the most asked question is “DOES what does it look inside your boat?” – And she discovered that while they have room for luxury – like a teenage bar and even a nespresso car, they have to make sacrifices.
“Everyone single storage” of storage should be well thought out – and she says “the worst doing” is their little refrigerator who stores nothing.
Incredibly they had very little navigation experience before moving to their boat.
Kristina, a marketing photographer and manager, from Florida, SH.BA, said: “Living in a boat, every single storage space is finally used.
“The refrigerator is the worst part of this boat – it pills in the drawer and there is no only storage.”
She joked: “I personally feel we miss a lot living in a boat. I mean there are few things like … water, and electricity strokes, and limited space and a refrigerator that has no storage. Besides – the life of the boats is quite amazing.”
The rest of her boat tour discovers two bathrooms, a gas stove and oven – but they use their “most of the time” ninja, as well as a routing closet for children hidden under a rug, and a bar area, complete with sea shell.
Dale had only lived on a motor yacht when he met Kristina on a flight to Orlando from Atlanta Airport in September 2023.
The duo began to meet and only eight months later, when Kristina’s rent came to her rent, the couple and her children from a previous relationship – at the age of seven and nine – everyone moved to the boat together in May 2024.
Once the family is updated, the family is located in a marina in Florida, but travel whenever they can – so far visiting the Bahamas before going to the Mediterranean.
Leopard’s catamaran is full with three bedrooms, a kitchen, living area and completely outdoor spaces in the front and back of the boat.
The family enjoys their “nomadic and minimal life” and can “enter” into local power when complaining in the Navy, but find energy using a solar generator and panels while sailing.
Coupleifti will get married in December 2025 and have plans to save their boat – called treventh – in Green Turtle Key in the Bahamas for their intimate marriage before navigating their honeymoon – three weeks island jumping.
Dale, a software engineer and founder of the company, said: “Immediately after the wedding we will go to the boat and sail in our honeymoon.”
Kristina added: “None of us had a really wide navigation background.
“We continued in December and that was our first true navigation experience.
“I think many people are afraid to do something like that.
“Our long -term plan in perhaps five years is to do it in the Mediterranean.
“Our favorite parts about it are the ability to live a nominadical and minimal life.”
Dale can see the family making their lives in the long run.
He said: “I feel like we discuss this, but honestly the thing we continue to come back is maybe we can do this forever.
“We enjoy the life of the boat and we don’t see ourselves moving away from it.”
Kristina’s children are able to attend school after the boat complained in the marina for half the year.
For the remaining six months, the family takes the tree trees, going to Tripips in Bahamas or different cities for “four or five days at a time”.
Kristina said: “Dreamndra is to educate them at home, but it’s a difficult thing to make it happen.
“Definitely is definitely an adventure for them.
“When we started talking about it, they were a little nervous.
“They were saying” What would you say you have to give up my room and our tracks? “
“Now they really love it.
“They are just a kind of lesson on how to save, they can remove sail and they know how to read the maps.”
The family is able to buy light groceries when complaining in the marina and reserve for a long trip.
Fifth family member, a Cockerpoo, Dog Atlas, also enjoys a sea of life.
Dale said: “It is so funny, he has a life jacket.
“We call it our little sea dog.
Despite their idyllic life, there are some negative boats.
“You have to be really ready for things to go wrong,” Kristina said.
“There is always something that breaks down and you have to sail it.
“We have a limited storage space.
“We can’t just make the longest shower in the world – because of limited water – we have to be really destined for our resources.”
