In 2021, Brandon and Ashley from Michigan, USA, decided it was time to stop chasing the American dream and do something extraordinary with their three young boys (aged 11, 9 and 8).

So they bought a boat, sold all their possessions and in 2022 set sail with a rough plan to "see the world". They are currently transiting the Panama Canal.

Find out more about this adventurous family in Noonsite’s latest “Portrait of a Cruiser” with feedback from both the parents and children.
