Sailing With the Stents

We’re Mike and Dani Stent, sailing the South Pacific aboard our trusty steel yacht Mirabilis—but this time, with two young stow aways, Arlo (6) and Coen (4) !!

Over the next 4–5 years, we’ll explore remote islands, turquoise reefs, and vibrant cultures across Fiji, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, and Micronesia. But first, we have one year to completely refit and restore our beloved boat, turning our dreams into reality.

Follow along as we tackle major boat projects (rewiring, sandblasting, and plenty more), dive into family life aboard, and navigate the joys and challenges of cruising with kids.

This is real life, real sailing, and real adventures—welcome aboard!
