mv Explorado

We’re Jenn and Dave, an Colorado couple trading snow boots for scuba fins aboard MV Explorado, our Nordhavn 55 floating home. After raising five kids, building careers, and stepping into the empty nest chapter, we decided life after 50 should look a lot less ordinary and a lot more adventurous.

This channel is about living on a boat full time, boat maintenance, DIY boat projects, off-grid lifestyle, and the beautiful chaos of chasing an alternative lifestyle on the water. From world travel dreams to the everyday reality of life aboard a trawler, we share the real stuff; repairs, anchorages, challenges, laughs, and the freedom that comes with creating a life outside the usual script.

Follow as we document our boat life journey, share travel videos of our floating tiny home, and show what it really looks like to take a leap into something new. We hope we inspire you to dream bigger, live bolder, and maybe get a little more comfortable being gloriously unconventional. Welcome aboard.
