Everything you always wanted to know.
Joshua Smith
Founder and Editor at Cruising Freedom
This is the definitive guide to Sailing La Vagabonde for 2024.
Over the last 6 years, my Youtube stats tell me that I have spent around 170 hours watching and researching everything I could about La Vagabonde because I adore their channel. 😎
Being obsessed, I’ve watched almost EVERY episode to date!
If you wanted to know:
➔ How Sailing La Vagabonde afforded all their boats
➔ How much they make on YouTube today
➔ What boat they have now and its upgrades
➔ How you can start crossing oceans
Then you’ve definitely come to the right place.
Think of this like a wiki for Sailing La Vagabonde.
Before we start, a quick introduction from me…
The Cruising Freedom Author
Ahoy, Matey! I’m Joshua from Australia.
I’ve built the perfect business to sail the world.
A business model which can allow me to:
➜ Own a catamaran debt-free
➜ Go for weeks without WIFI

But more on that later… 🙂
La Vagabonde FAQs (2024)
La Vagabonde
Crew Members
Riley Whitelum (age 37) from Kimba, South Australia.
Elayna Carausu (age 34) from Perth, Western Australia.
Lenny Whitelum (age 3) who is now actively talking and swimming all by himself.
Elayna gave birth to their 2nd child, Darwin, in 2021, who is now almost 2 years old!
Riley and Elayna are NOT married, nor has Riley ever proposed to Elayna. They remain in a de facto relationship.
If you’re wondering if Elayna Carausu from Sailing La Vagabonde had breast enhancement surgery (fake breasts), then the answer is YES.
Riley actually confirmed it on a recent episode. He also appears to be juicing… 😲
Because, you know, they have to keep up…appearances…
Sailing La Vagabonde’s current catamaran is a 2022 Rapido Trimaran 60 with an owner’s cabin in the starboard hull.
This is designed for serious performance and sailing beyond the wind speed.
Some say this boat isn’t ideal for family cruising with very young children, and I tend to agree.
Sailing La Vagabonde’s previous catamaran was a 2017 Outremer 45 with an owner’s cabin in the starboard hull.
Previously to this, they owned a monohull which was a 2007 Beneteau Cyclades 43. This is the original ‘La Vagabonde’, a yacht that was designed for the charter market without a dedicated owner’s cabin.
They had planned to sell the Outremer but decided against it:
In short: They’re creating Vagabonde Adventures which will become a boat charter company where you can learn to sail on their very own catamaran.
Their friend Jack, a sailing instructor, will run the business so Riley and Elayna can continue sailing as a family.
More info at: VagabondeAdventures.com
A very wise choice I must say! They will still buy the Rapido 60 for themselves.
Before taking ownership, Outremer had spec’d the 45 at the factory in France with:
➔ Code D and Code Zero lightwind sails (the code D is Elayna’s favorite sail)
➔ Two upright 12v fridges in the galley
➔ Retractable daggerboards (a rather expensive optional upgrade, yet highly recommended)
➔ Twin 215hp diesel inboard motors
Meanwhile, Riley and Elayna have added:
➔ Fortress Spade Anchor (they use it as a spare)
➔ 560watts of solar panels on the bimini
➔ Dessalator Freedom Cruise Water Maker
➔ Watt And Sea Hydro Generator
➔ Inflatable tender called Cunningham II with 15hp Honda outboard. Their first tender mysteriously disappeared 5 years ago as it was being towed while sailing. (Whoops!)
Riley and Elayna are currently in Vietnam to assist in building their trimaran. It’s likely that they’ll spend a few months here before it’s launched.
Past Cruising
In prior years, Riley and Elayna have sailed extensively to:
➔ The Mediterranean
➔ The Bahamas
➔ United States of America
➔ The Azores
➔ Cape Verde
➔ Australia (Riley sailed as a crew of a racing team)
➔ British Virgin Islands
➔ Venezuela
➔ Panama Canal
➔ French Polynesia
➔ New Zealand (friends boat)
➔ Gibraltar
Affording It
They didn’t start out with an epic lifestyle and the freedom to live their dreams.
Riley worked for 4 years in the mining industry in South Australia (just like me!) and he saved $100,000, earning *just* enough to purchase his monohull before meeting Elayna.
Once their channel blew up, they were approached by various boat manufacturers, ultimately settling with Outremer.
The purchase of La Vagabonde II didn’t cost them $1,200,000 USD (the retail price of La Vagabonde’s Outremer 45), and instead, was based off their audience size and Outremer’s potential for marketing reach similar to a sponsorship deal.
(And if you’re wondering, I’ll be buying either a Seawind or an Outremer myself)
The La Vagabonde II catamaran itself, just like the original monohull, is legally owned by Riley and Elayna. Outremer simply assisted with the loan on the catamaran.
Outremer has never given a free boat to Riley and Elayna. This is the biggest false rumor on the internet which continues to haunt the couple to this day.
YouTubers are wealthier than we imagine, and after watching Riley and Elayna for many years, the following is my best estimation…
Right now in 2024, Sailing La Vagabonde has a net worth of $6,700,000 USD. This is based on the value of their two boats, online business and personal investments.
They have also saved around 85% of their income over the last 6 years.
Making Loot
In 2024, Sailing La Vagabonde makes money through:
➔ YouTube advertising revenue
➔ Amazon affiliate links
➔ Official La Vagabonde merch
➔ Elayna’s songs and CDs
➔ Their thousands of Patreons
➔ Brand sponsorship with Audible
So it’s clear that cruising YouTubers know how to monetize their audience well.
It’s estimated that Riley and Elayna make $27,000 per month in US dollars, or $8,200 per episode published . However, earning that much money requires 30 to 50 hours of editing to eventually publish one polished YouTube video.
Elayna recently created Vaga Bella Swim™︎ – a 100% recycled swimwear company that is definitely worth checking out.
Collaborations
Sailing La Vagabonde has collaborated with the following YouTubers:
➔ Adam Stern from Free Diving Family who held the Australian record for freediving
➔ Yosha, a previous crewmate of SV Delos , also stayed on board several years ago
➔ Eamon & Bec who usually do Van Life.
➔ Lost Leblanc who is a very popular travel vlogger
After all these years, I’m still waiting for a collaboration with SV Delos . 😃
Big Moments
Memorable moments in the Sailing La Vagabonde journey include:
➔ Being chased by a powerboat late at night during a potential pirate attack. This was on the original Beneteau. While Elayna hid in the aft cabin, Riley avoided the attack by throwing cans of tin food. Surprisingly (and fortunately) the strategy worked.
➔ Lenny having stopped breathing and being rushed to hospital.
➔ Sailing 22 knots in high winds without putting a reef in the main, causing Elayna to panic and the YouTube community to voice their concerns.
➔ Sailing Greta Thunberg across the North Atlantic with Lenny in tow.
➔ Freediving in the deepest hole in the world where Adam was featured.
In recent episodes, both Riley and Elayna have really struggled to manage 2 young children AND all the work that’s necessary on a boat.
Future Plans
With their Outremer 45 being listed for sale, Riley and Elayna are now working on building their 3rd boat, a Rapido 60, announced in June, 2021. It should be ready in a few months.
Interestingly, despite the growing family, they have chosen a boat with orientation for speed over comfort.
As mentioned previously, I disagree that this is the right boat for their growing family and many within the cruising community agree with my stance.
Key Takeaways
We can learn from Riley and Elayna that:
➔ Cruising isn’t always moonshine and sunsets
➔ Men and women play an equal role on board
➔ Much of the world is actually a safe place
➔ Raising children on sailboards is trending
➔ Always speak the truth, even when it’s hard
➔ You only live once, so make life happen
Riley and Elayna are authentic yet polished influencers of the sailing world. Some would say modern-day sea gypsies!
Fun fact: They even have their own Subreddit !
We see Riley and Elayna’s epic lifestyle today but we don’t see the consistent work over multiple years prior.
Getting here and finally living #boatlife certainly wasn’t an easy process, but through their commitment, but we can clearly see it’s been well worth it.

Sailing La Vagabonde: Navigating Life’s Ever-changing Seas
By: Zeke Quezada, ASA Cruising Tips , online course , Sailing Story , Schools , women on the water
Elayna and Riley can be found sailing across your screen on the internet . They are living the life that so many sailors aspire to. They set out on a journey to live life on a sailboat and travel the world. Drop everything, start a new life, and call the ocean your neighborhood and a boat your home. The dream is attainable, and the goal is simply a few decisions away.
How we move from part-time sailor to full-time cruiser might seem like a giant leap, but consider a career change or a move to a new city. Essentially, life decisions are large events in our lives. American Sailing spoke to Sailing La Vagabonde about their career arc leading up to their upcoming online class, From Zero to Full-Time Cruiser , where for the first time they will turn their SLV Essential Sail Guide into a class format with a live Q&A in partnership with American Sailing.
Sailing La Vagabonde with Riley Whitelum and Elayna Carausu
Sailing is more than just a mode of transportation; it’s a way of life that allows adventurers to traverse the world’s oceans, embracing challenges and finding beauty in the journey. No one embodies this spirit quite like the crew of Sailing La Vagabonde. With over 1.8M YouTube subscribers, they’ve become a sensation that has taken the world on a captivating voyage across the seas.
“With so many years and experience in the sailing lifestyle, how have you evolved? As people? As sailors? As a family?” The response from Riley Whitelum, the charismatic captain of the vessel, hints at the profound transformation they’ve undergone. Their voyage is a story of evolution—a tale of sailing, growth, and the bond of family. “This would honestly take an entire book to unpack, but briefly, we have been through several evolutions.” From militant vegans to quasi-antisocial sailors to becoming parents while living aboard, they have evolved to a place where they can deal with most of life’s struggles even from the deck of their new trimaran.
Life Aboard
Imagine a daily routine where you rise and fall with the sun, where the sky above is your constant companion, and the vast expanse of the sea stretches endlessly in all directions. Life aboard Sailing La Vagabonde offers a unique blend of adventure and discipline. Elayna reflects on their daily life: “We eat healthier on the boat and move more day to day. We are more in touch with nature as we rise with the sun and go down with the sun.”
However, life at sea isn’t just about leisurely sunsets and tranquil moments. The crew’s days are filled with work, from filming their adventures to editing content and attending to business calls. It’s a life that demands both passion and dedication, and they have it in abundance. As Riley notes, “Having that drive and people relying on you is good most of the time.”
Challenges of the Open Ocean
The allure of sailing to far-flung destinations is undeniable, but it comes with its share of trials. Elayna opens up about one of her most challenging aspects: sleepless nights on rough seas. The “donkey slaps,” the grinding of winches, and the relentless rocking of the boat during night passages can leave even the most experienced sailors tossing and turning. Yet, it’s a challenge they’ve learned to face head-on, knowing that endurance brings its rewards.
Amidst the vast canvas of the open ocean, there are destinations that capture their hearts. For Riley, the Bahamas stands out as a place of extraordinary beauty and significance. It’s a locale where he honed his spearfishing skills and formed a deep connection with the sea. It’s a spot their son Lenny has essentially called home. The Bahamas represents the essence of their adventures—a place where isolation is outweighed by awe-inspiring landscapes.
In the world of sailing, self-sufficiency is essential. Riley has mastered the art of handling maintenance and repairs in remote locations, prioritizing mission-critical tasks and displaying patience when necessary. “You are fairly motivated to fix the engine or stop the boat from sinking if that is what is occurring.” When faced with adversity, the crew’s unwavering determination to keep their vessel afloat is a testament to their resilience.
Setting Sail
Before embarking on long ocean passages, meticulous preparations are a must. Riley emphasizes the importance of having a well-thought-out plan and fostering a positive crew dynamic. It’s not just about the technicalities; it’s about creating an environment where every crew member feels valued and empowered to contribute, ensuring a safe and smooth journey. Riley shares, “People often tend to forget to have a good attitude, a warm smile, and instill respect in your crew. I still do occasionally. If you create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable and able to show initiative, you’ll have a much better crossing.”
Life on a sailboat means living within the confines of limited space. To maximize comfort and functionality, they’ve adopted a minimalist approach. Everything has its place, and items not used in over six months find new homes. This deliberate simplification allows them to focus on the essentials and savor the beauty of their surroundings.
Mental Health Matters
The open sea can be both awe-inspiring and isolating, which underscores the significance of mental health. Riley acknowledges that mental well-being is paramount for sailors. “We did a safety at sea course and were informed, retrospectively unsurprisingly, that mental health is the number one safety hazard for a cruising sailor. Humans crave community, and we are social beings. I think that much of the glorification of single-handed sailors or vaguely misanthropic people living only remote and avoiding people has been a little detrimental for the sailing culture and milieu.” While some might romanticize solitude, the crew of Sailing La Vagabonde recognizes the importance of community, exercise, meditation, and therapy in maintaining their mental health. Their commitment to each other’s well-being is a pillar of their journey.
A New Adventure Beckons
A new vessel awaits them—a 60-foot, 90% carbon marvel that promises to redefine their adventures. Riley’s excitement is palpable, describing it as “ridiculous” and “vaguely arousing.” This vessel will not only offer exhilarating speed but also enhance their safety in challenging conditions—a development that has them eager to push the boundaries of exploration. When asked about the new boat Riley’s personality shines through,
“Dude. Come on. It’s ridiculous. It’s 60 ft long, 90% carbon, and will sail circles around anything in the water. It’s funky mustard with a carbon-rotating mast, and if I’m honest, it’s vaguely arousing just thinking about it. It’ll sail at 1.3 times the speed of the wind, which is seriously cooking and like seriously, most people don’t understand how fun that is, but also the safety factor when faced with a difficult forecast. This is unproven at the moment, but I think she’ll be about 2x the speed of the Outremer on most points of sail, so if there is an area of the ocean that is going to be unpleasant or dangerous in the next 2 days you can REALLY make sure you aren’t going to be there. That is a MASSIVE safety boon. Doing 15 knots in 12 knots of breeze in a flat ocean is not something that will get old. It just won’t. It will accelerate my learning as well, which is almost the most exciting thing, but no I think it’s the flat ocean 15 knots thing!”
Charting the Future
The journey of Sailing La Vagabonde has evolved over the years, reflecting a shift towards mindful exploration. They’ve decided to slow down, focusing on creating content they are passionate about. Their diversification into American Sailing School Vagabonde Adventures, Elayna’s book publication, and the development of an app with the YCA demonstrate their commitment to offering more to their community.
In the world of Sailing La Vagabonde, each day is a new adventure, a new opportunity to discover the beauty of the open sea and the depths of human resilience. Their story is a reminder that life’s true treasures lie not in the destinations reached but in the journey itself. It’s a tale of evolution, passion, and a family’s enduring love for the sea—a story that continues to captivate the hearts of adventurers worldwide.
Register now to hang out with Riley and Elayna and hear their tales first-hand, and perhaps set that spark ablaze in your own soul to venture out in to the great blue wonder that is the world’s ocean.

WORLD FAMOUS SAILING LA VAGABONDE UPGRADES TO RAPIDO 60
The world’s most exciting sailing news is the long awaited decision that Sailing La Vagabonde will sail the world’s oceans aboard a Rapido 60.
Rapido is filling a segment in the market that is missing: a trimaran that is owner-operated, powerful, ocean-cruising, and can be safely crewed by two. The concept for the world’s fastest production cruising trimaran is designed by world-acclaimed naval architects, Morrelli & Melvin.
SLV comprises an Australian couple, Riley Whitelum and Elayna Carausu and their two young children. Each week, they bring their adventures to our phones, desktops and iPads via their YouTube videos.
They began documenting their evolving journey on YouTube back in 2014 with a single-hull vessel. After a time, they upgraded to a twin-hull vessel. For the last 18-24 months, the couple have been researching which boat would become the future of their sailing story, and would proudly wear the title Sailing La Vagabonde III.
With the extraordinary reach and exposure of Sailing La Vagabonde, perhaps the Rapido represents the future of sailing. Riley and Elayna explain why and how the Rapido 60, a three-hulled 6o’ (18m) trimaran, met their criteria.
Initially, they were worried about the amount of space on board. However, once they were on board, this concern was perfectly fine. Riley describes the fore cabin as being “massive” with a “huge” bed. When you’re standing in the saloon, it’s actually a huge room.
During the test sail, the couple were convinced the boat could move at lightning speed. With just one hand on the helm, they were travelling under sail, maintaining speed at 25.7 knots. Even at that fast speed, it was only slightly heeling over. A Rapido trimaran only gets a heel of up to 15 degrees, this is important as they both want to travel safely while at a good pace. They said that when they were travelling at 20 knots, it felt like they were only going at 10 knots, and it also felt like they had so much more power sitting in reserve.
One thing that was really important with the trimaran was that Riley will have the ability to sail it single-handed, when Elayna cares for the two children on the boat.
The Rapido trimarans are stable boats that do not heel, ideal for long distances, short sprints and the passage between. They are ideal for discovering places that others cannot venture to when you sneak up alongside a secluded beach or glide over a reef. The draft of the Rapido 60 is just 0.75m with the rudder and daggerboard retracted.
Having the flexibility to power up and sail away from bad weather systems is paramount. The Rapido can be sailed short-handed with centralised systems, Karver reefing hooks, self-tacking furling jibs, furling reacher and stay sails. Boasting excellent safety, the Rapido is designed to put you in control for fast, safe, fun sailing.
The nets on each side of the Rapido 60 measure 6.3m x 3m (that’s 18.9 m2), providing enormous space to play or lounge upon when the fish are not biting. They also provide an exhilarating vantage point when cruising to watch the water rush by beneath.
The foam sandwich and carbon construction provide an extremely strong and rigid structure. This enables the Rapido to withstand the might of the oceans, without carrying excessive weight.
The T-foil rudder blade is designed to provide additional stability and control. Each float (ama) has four watertight bulkheads. The main hull has five bulkheads to ensure that the Rapido 60 is as safe and unsinkable as possible. The engine and main equipment compartment has two bulkheads and is located under the saloon.
There are three emergency escape hatches: one located in the forward cabin, the second is in the aft cabin, and the third is in the main storage compartment under the cockpit. This storage compartment has been specifically designed as a safe survival area. Automatic and portable bilge pumps are provided.
The helm position offers superb all-round visibility. It is in an elevated position, away from the elements with a hard top bimini with sliding roof. It has a 1.2m wide seat/leaning post for seating comfort and standing support. Main controls are at the helm making single or short-handed sailing easier and safer. Steering is direct with strong well-engineered Jefa systems.
An emergency rudder blade is ready to deploy in an emergency. The engine compartment has an auto fire extinguisher system. There are an additional three portable fire extinguishers and a fire blanket. Diesel is the only fuel on board for engine, stove and heating, which removes the need to carry highly flammable cooking gas.
The head sails are on furlers for ease of deployment and operation. There are twin bow anchors with the main anchor ready to deploy. A dedicated storage area for safety equipment and wet weather gear is located in the cockpit. Jack stays and clip-on points are provided, as are bow and stern cockpit safety rails. Even in the storms of the southern oceans, trimarans are safe, easy to handle and faster on all points of sail due to their wide beam and light weight.
Riley plans to be on hand at the Vietnam-based factory to customise certain aspects of the boat to better suit their family. www.sailing-lavagabonde.com

Rapido have also developed a folding trimaran system, making their new Rapido 40 and 50 models available with a folding mechanism that will allow them to access monohull marina berths. The Rapido folding system keeps the floats vertical when in the folded position, preventing growth from occurring on the sides of the floats and ensuring they remain in pristine condition. The Rapido system also adds to the overall strength of the boat by reducing the loads on the beams when sailing without adding any length to the boat when folded.
Rapido Trimarans are distributed by Multihull Solutions as the Asia and Pacific dealer for its innovative range of ocean-cruising trimarans. Further information on the Rapido Trimarans range can be obtained by contacting Multihull Solutions on 1300 855 338 or emailing [email protected]

No parent actually concerned for providing a decent quality of life for their partner and kids goes with a Rapido 60 for their boat choice. But I guess it's an easier decision to make when you can afford renting a house long-term wherever you want if you need room to breathe between passages. Ah that would be good.
