Live-aboard Foundations

Whether you're dreaming of casting off long-term or just curious about what it takes to live aboard a sailboat, we offer an inside look into the systems, skills, and mindset required to thrive on the water. From managing power, water, and provisioning to route planning, night watches, and anchoring strategy, you'll gain hands-on experience with the full spectrum of life lived on a sailboat.

For many, stepping aboard SV Indie Sky is more than just an adventure—it’s the beginning of a lifestyle shift. Our expeditions are designed not only to explore new horizons but to immerse you in the rhythms and realities of life at sea.

We’re also family-friendly. We welcome entire families on board and help them learn to function as a cohesive crew—sharing responsibilities, building trust, and developing communication in ways that translate both on and off the water. From plotting a course to reefing a sail, every task becomes a shared adventure.

We’re not here to sell the dream—we’re here to show you the reality, and help you decide if it’s the right fit. Our crew shares hard-earned lessons from years of liveaboard experience, offering honest guidance, practical tips, and encouragement every step of the way. If you're serious about going from crew to captain of your own adventure, this is where it starts.
