Known as a yachting hub and a haven for sailors, this island is blessed with stunning natural beauty, a resource-rich environment, and a fascinating history.

It’s easy to romanticize the idea of living on a boat – sailing off into the calm sunset, serenaded by the sounds of gentle waves lapping on the hull, and enjoying fresh fruit, cheese, and champagne in the cockpit. However, this alternative lifestyle takes preparation, resourcefulness, and the ability to adapt to changes quickly.

The east coast of Australia is bursting at the seams with tropical utopias and dreamy coral reefs. We have enjoyed exploring this seemingly endless coastline. And now, we have taken on the not-so-easy task of shortlisting all the best spots along the east coast to present to you our top five.

We did a Q&A with The Sunday Coast, all about our lifestyle out here on the ocean. We dive deep into our emotions, what made us choose this lifestyle, the challenges we face, and our mission towards sustainability.
