Hi! We're Elena and Ryan. This is our sailing channel. We quit our jobs to move onto a boat and sail the world. First we lived on a 26ft catamaran called Kittiwake for 2 years, then we upgraded boat and bought a Tayana 37, a proven bluewater cruiser called Skua. You can find out more about our adventure by checking out our blog: sailingkittiwake.com. You can get access to extra content, such as updates and videos on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sailingkittiwake We work for a living to afford to sail.

About Sailing Kittiwake

Sailing Kittiwake is a UK-based YouTube channel run by Elena and Ryan, who document their life sailing and cruising the Caribbean aboard boats they have owned. Their videos cover boat life, sailing passages, hurricane preparation, living off-grid and choosing between catamarans and monohulls. The channel has about 46,500 subscribers, and a rough estimate of its viewers is English-speaking adults, mostly in the UK and US, who are interested in sailing or considering a life afloat.

The creators also list a separate website, per their site, with blog content and a Patreon. Their channel has not uploaded in the last 90 days, so creator availability should be confirmed before booking. Sponsored integrations are quoted at $150 to $250 per video, roughly $20 to $35 CPM on median views, compared with typical paid-ad CPMs of $10 to $30.

This channel suits marine equipment, travel gear and boat-related service brands that want an engaged, niche sailing audience rather than mass reach.
