Sailing across the world made them famous — but it may have also pushed them to their limit. Why are Riley Whitelum and Elayna Carausu from Sailing La Vagabonde selling their $1.95 million trimaran and searching for an off-grid farm in Vanuatu? The real story is far bigger than “quitting sailing.”
In this video, we break down the emotional, financial, and personal turning point behind one of YouTube’s most iconic sailing families. From 70,000+ nautical miles and life at sea to parenting, pressure, boat maintenance costs, and a terrifying collision in Japan, this is the side of Sailing La Vagabonde most viewers never fully saw.
We explore:
⚓ Why La Vagabonde III is listed for sale
⚓ The real cost of owning a luxury Rapido 60 trimaran
⚓ Riley and Elayna’s shift toward land, stability, and family life
⚓ Their off-grid farm dream in Vanuatu
⚓ How fear, burnout, and parenthood changed their priorities
⚓ The future of SeaPeople and whether sailing is truly over
For years, Sailing La Vagabonde represented freedom, adventure, and escape from normal life. But after a decade of storms, repairs, business pressure, and raising kids at sea, Riley and Elayna now appear to be searching for something very different: a place to finally call home.
Is this the end of Sailing La Vagabonde — or just the beginning of a new chapter?
Watch until the end and let us know in the comments: would you trade endless travel for stability and an off-grid life?
