If you've ever wondered, what makes a "great" Great Loop boat, here we walk you through literally everything from top to bottom, aft to fore, on our 1989 34' Marine Trader Pivot. We've lived full-time onboard Pivot for about 1.5 years, and it's about time we did a full tour! While we are extensive, we do highlight many of the features, we think are fantastic for the Great Loop, including wrap-around decks, a protected propeller, and two heads. They say buying a boat is all about compromise so hopefully you will find something new or learn something from our trawler that you want in your Great Loop Yacht! Thanks for watching!

We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Little did we know, 6 months later we would find ourselves in a nationwide lockdown in India. After spending 5 months in India, we came back to the United States and decided to purchase a 34’ Trawler, dive headfirst into boat life, and kick-off America’s Great Loop. The good, the bad, the ugly – and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.”, just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. Thank you for following us along our journey! ________________ Note — Some of these links are affiliates. We recommend stuff we love and if you like it also they might give us a small kickback.
