WORLD BOAT TOUR: La Vagabonde III
🇻🇳 This week… you guessed it… we’re concluding out World Boat Tour Series with (drum roll please) LA VAGABONDE III !
Many of you guessed this might be how we would conclude the tour... and we agreed with you! So join us this week, as we nervously head to Vietnam to see our new home with our own eyes. (We still can’t believe it... what a bloody epic journey this build has been).
We cannot wait to set sail aboard LVIII, and continue exploring our world with you all. 💛
Yeawwwww!!
Here’s the link to our early (ad free) preview of this weeks episode (available only to Patrons): https://youtu.be/VVGeLXifySM

Elay, Riley, Lenny & Darwin

Wow……..Now that’s a cool looking yacht. Can’t wait to see her Big Bird on the water 😄. Very big congratulations 🎉
Congrats on the boat!!! Love how Elayna does the let go of stress guided meditation. I do this one almost every day on my lunch break! Headspace is so good. Y’all rock!
Get on the water already!!!!! CANNOT wait, so excited 😆
Love the boat colour Very fresh Love the eclectic interior. Very fun styling
Wow! I love the colour. Can’t wait to see a tour of the finished boat. I love your design style inside, very nice and unique.
Congratulations! The colour is gorgeous! Can’t wait to see her on the water and all the other adventures 🌊⛵️💛
Wow! Love, love, love the boat! Amazing color, but yellow/gold IS one of my absolute favorite colors. Love seeing the interior come together as well. The wood, jungle prints, copper etc. This is going to become very familiar over the next 10 years to us and I am excited to see it all come together. Awesome video and looking forward to more!
You guys nailed the color on the hull, I love that yellow tangerine. And I’m sure it’s so much better in person. There’s nothing I have seen so far that is even close to a bad decision, well done 👍. Looking forward to more videos as it progresses to launch day ❤️
Big Bird rules the 7 seas!
Some of us also love the funky shit! So tired of seeing the same old color schemes. Pre-worn leather is the best, and that tiny snippet of kitchen counters looks incredible! Can’t wait to fully see it with the copper and the blue…. 🤌🏻
Yeah, the blue is still a bit mysterious.. looks different in every shot, hey?
Yellow looks really good! Can’t wait till you guys hit the pacific islands with this craft. Very excited for a future of island hopping and seeing new ports.
I can't even express how excited I am for you all. I have shivers of excitement watching this video. What an incredible design, and the highest quality execution. "good on ya"
The look on your face says it all, Riles. What an amazing boat. Can't wait to see more and see her sail.
Couldn't be happier for you beautiful humans. xxxxxxx
Massive congratulations on La Vagabonde III! Finally I can welcome you to the trimaran family :-) Though 60 feet 👣 is a lot bigger than my Dragonfly 920, I guess it’s gonna be the same comfortable smooth fast kind of sailing that I love about trimarans. Looking forward one day to see it in real life ;-) kind regards Michael
THRILLED for you all!!! Thanks for including us on the journey! :D It is such a delight to watch yall soar, thank you for the endless inspiration!
WOW! That boat is so incredible. You guys have done an amazing job. Loved the quick tour but looking for a more detailed look once the workers are out. No surprises as I have seen all your IG, YT, and FB posts during the planning stages. So close.
Amazing. Congratulations
So exciting! And that is just my take. I can only imagine yours. After all your time and effort.........now your giddy glee, your running fingers over the lines, you're realizing a dream..........it is not like Christmas, it's like a baby. Big Bird is officially your third child. You now have a proper daughter. Lenny and Darwin have a rambunctious sister. She is beautiful!
Great video and exciting times. The secret rudder design sounds cool but a little annoying going forward. (People nosying around the bottom of your boat for the foreseeable future)
This is a “massively sexy” dream come true for y’all! 😍 ⛵️ Keep living life to the fullest R.E.L.D.LVIII ❤️
Have to admit, I love the colour and what you've done with the new boat. Can't wait to see you four living on and loving it. Your reactions to seeing the boat were amazing to watch. 🥰
She is a Beast! Absolutely love the interior it is super cosy 🧡💛🧡
Hey Riley. Elayna, Lenny, and Darwin, You guys really are amazing and you've enabled all of us to see things we never would have because of the courage you showed and stuck to! The extra work you put in to your business, dreams, and goals! Anyway, this is directed to Elayna, you've endured much with your sensitivity to the:"sun" but I wanted to tell you, when I was young I played golf,tennis, swam, water skied, sunbathed,, and snorkeled all without UV glasses and slowly my vision weakened and had to get cataract and carcinoma surgery on my face and ears...WEAR those shades! The UV rays are getting stronger all the time! Riley, I can't wait to see how that propeller works in reality and I'm sure that modified rudder will help if you are too for shallows not to mention the renegade "Killer Whales" attacking rudders on the European/ African Coast!? Boys! you'll be grown before you know it! Accept the gift your folks are giving you , they are very special parents! Hugs and Safety to you all, I'm sure you won't have to look hard to spot YOUR trimaran when you surface from "free-diving", and it's going to sail faster than "Big Bird" can run..kidding, nice color scheme! Til we meet again! 🥇😎🤿🦞🎥🥰
I’m curious about the YouTube algorithm. Is it helpful for Patreons to also watch your YouTube videos to increase the views, likes and comments? Which most helps your YouTube income. I don’t usually post comments in your YouTube videos but will do if it helps you guys out (just nice comments of course 😂) -anything to help keeping you making these great videos 😍
had the same thought....
hi team I Love the boat colour, Can not wait for launch date. I order First Mate Lenny book today, I had trouble with Amazon not delivering to NZ. so ordered through Booktopia
Love the orange color!! Great choice!
It’s like Flying Sunshine ☀️☀️☀️ Congrats. I cannot wait to see how much faster than the wind you will go. I’m curious what color are all the sails going to be. The interior although unique seems like it will be warm and inviting w a side of steampunk. That guest berth looks amazing! Best of luck as you wind things up to get on the water.
Congratulations to you all..it's so luscious....the colors are so refreshing inside and out. Just Perfect.. So glad to see you both so happy and taking sometime away for your family , as much as we love following with you on adventures, Families First ... BonVoyage 🧡💛
I love how excited and happy you are! It looks amazing! A lot of long hours, heartache, blood, sweat and tears - all of it! And you are nearly there - living on it! Congrats! I can’t wait for the full tour and to see you 4 on it! Way to stick with your dreams and thanks for sharing which inspires others! Love you guys so much! ❤️
So very excited for you guys! It’s beautiful and I can’t wait to see you and the boys on it, starting the next chapter of your life together.
Congratulations guys! I love the interior ! I’m watching your old videos at the moment, currently I am watching as you make the decision to go back to the Bahamas after having Darwin. 2 years later here you are finally getting the boat. It’s amazing watching this journey thanks for continuing to share.
Stunning
It’s beautiful! Congratulations!
This was such a gorgeous video!!! I cried a few times haha. Love seeing you both grow over the years, congratulations!!
I tried to order Lennys book but it wouldn't accept my USA address "Sorry, this item can't be delivered to your selected address. Learn more. You may either change the delivery address or delete the item from your order."
It’s the genuine look of awe for me. Love this for you guys! I can’t wait for this adventure to hit the waves! Sending love and luck! ❤️
So happy for you.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Oh my god I cried so many times in that video!
Congrats to you guys. Only thing I don’t understand is why you don’t have more solar. Looks like you will rely on fuel a lot
If you look at a boat like Uma or Delos, they have a single bridge installed on the rear of the boat. This one has 2, and I think the size of the boat is making them look smaller than they are.. There was a video just on the eletrics when they were spending a bunch of time at the factory in the build... I'm sure Riley will wade in here.
One hot boat! Reminds me of Michelle Williams mustard colored dress at the Oscars! So controversial, So sexy. If Vera Wang designed a boat! Love the interiors. Cannot wait for full indoors tour next week.
That is one hot. Definitely one of a kind. Can't wait to see big bird take flight
SO exciting, congrats!!!! It looks phenomenal- the yellow is warm and uplifting. Can't wait to see all the amazing adventures this swift (big) bird takes you on 🤩😄💕
I'm more excited then you guys are. Love it!! Can't wait to see her underway. SLV III aka Big Bird? Funny. 😊⛵️ p.s. anybody make a Rapido Emoji?
Congratulations!!! Big Bird ( ;D ) is beauty, power, ultra light, movement, and home. Sooo happy for you. Watching Riley's pupils go, and Elayna's jaw drop when they had their first look was everything. Yup Elay, First Mate Lenny won't ship to the states. :( And PS, please tell us how you're getting into and out of the water, with the tender on the stern. Thanks!
I was thinking Big Bird even before Riley said it 😂
I love the interior! I think it looks warm and homey. I can’t wait to see the full tour of big bird! 😝
I didn’t think I was going to like the interior but I do too!
Congratulations! can't wait for your new adventures on this Mustard Mariner the Saffron Sailor. No - honestly: love the color. You earned it.
We don’t seem to be able to get the book delivered to the USA.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Seeing your reaction to the boat was priceless. The more you guys love it the more your audience will love it and Riley’s right it looks damn sexy.!! 🤭😉 Congrats on starting this new journey ⛵️
LOOKS PHENOMENAL! CONGRATS!
