WHY IS FOLLOWTHEBOAT
ON PATREON?
What is followtheboat?
followtheboat is Jamie and Liz, two Brits on a boat with a cat called Millie. We've been telling the story of our sailing adventures since 2005.

Why Patreon?
Our INCREDIBLY GENEROUS AND PERFECT Patrons improve our story-telling by helping us source better technical and editing equipment. Check out our 'Sailing videos from the beginning' playlist and we hope you will see a BIG improvement over the years!
Patreon does not fund our lifestyle.
Pledge PER VIDEO (from as little as $2), and Patreon collects the fee each month. You set a monthly MAXIMUM NUMBER OF VIDEOS YOU WISH TO SUPPORT and you can CANCEL ANY TIME. We upload one video per week. The boffins at Patreon do all the back-room stuff to ensure your pledge is processed safely.
What being a Patron means
When you become our patron, we give you freebies like postcards, photos, mugs, followbacks on social media and even followtheboat T Shirts! For Commanders, we offer to produce one personalised video!
AND you get to feel all warm and goodly inside...
And we have 'goals' (which is just another way for us to give you more stuff). When we reach them we'll do something crazy like send everyone a T Shirt, or upload a private video of out-takes and bloopers, and even invite you on SY Esper for a week.
We love working on new ways to say a... BIG THANK YOU!
Not ready for commitment, but want to throw us a (fish)bone? You can do that too through Esper's Rum Fund. No matter what you decide, we value every comment, subscription, 'like' and view, so keep 'em coming! And remember, you will always be able to watch the story unfold on our YouTube channel, because followtheboat YouTube content will continue to remain free.
OUR PATRONS ARE FAMILY!
Thank you for all your support!
Love from
