Would your boat stay anchored through a storm? Living aboard a yacht means enjoying incredible destinations, but it also means being prepared when the weather turns. While cruising the Florida Keys aboard our 2002 Marlow Explorer 70E, our fun in Key West was interrupted by approaching storms, forcing us to prepare for rough weather and spend a few extra days at anchor.

In this episode, we share what it's really like to live full-time on a boat when storms threaten, including practical boat storm preparation tips, anchoring safety considerations, and the equipment we keep ready in case conditions get worse. If you're a boat owner, planning a liveaboard lifestyle, or simply curious about cruising on a larger yacht, you'll get a look at both the challenges and rewards of life on the water.

What does it really take to power a 75-foot motor yacht while living aboard full time? In this episode of our Marlow liveaboard journey, Jeff gives an in-depth look at our Victron lithium battery and inverter system, how it powers our boat, and how it works together with our two onboard generators. This system has completely changed the way we use and enjoy our boat compared to traditional setups.
