2025 Recap!

A group of people is joyfully smiling on a boat, with a flag fluttering in the background, as they share stories from their unforgettable journey sailing the Canary Islands.

We wish you a splashtastic end of the year celebration and reflection! Thank you to all the nomads who have joined us and each other this year, somewhere at sea, and here in the community!

It’s YOU who makes the community into what it is. Thank you for shining your light in your way into our community and beyond.
Adventure, impact & community is what summarizes Ocean Nomads. We plan to facilitate more of all that in the year ahead!

Do not hesitate to share your stories, ideas, challenges on the network. We’re here to support, inspire, and encourage each other!

We got the support of the Crossretour EU grant to improve our infrastructure and impact ripples.

Ocean Nomads turned five!

FIVE YEARS AGO this crazy dream floating around in my head was officially launched: this community! 

With a vision of adventurous ocean souls who actually care about each other AND our blue planet. A community where adventure meets consciousness. Where sailing isn’t only about showing of the new bikini in the tropics, but about the connections, the meaningfulness we attach to our dreams and adventures, and the impact we make together, at sea, the places we visit, and beyond. LOOK WHAT WE’VE BUILT TOGETHER

YOU are the highlight!

Many of you teamed-up or met-up for adventure, support or a sail or surf session. And that’s what this family is all about. To have friends and a support network wherever you navigate. And leave our positive marks as we go.

Thank you for being here, showing up for each other and the community, share your stories, wisdoms, and reach out when you need help. We are here for you, wherever you navigate! And thank you for helping shape what Ocean Nomads is becoming. The more you give, the more you get out of it.

We are still small. And figuring out how we can make ON most valuable and impactful for you, the ocean, and the people and places that we’re visiting, while living the ocean nomadic lifestyle with all the variables it comes.

We are super excited to follow, support and be part of your journeys in 2026! Some of you bought boats, set sail across oceans, are planning expeditions, or to become a captain. And many are simply here to get ideas to create a life live differently by the ocean. No matter which part of the journey you are ON, share you stories, struggles, and updates. We are super curious and we are here to support!

Also exciting!

Our next trip has been announced

We’ll be sailing the Western Canary Islands! We have a splashy early bird member discount for the fast decision makers. It helps us secure the best boat.

We hope to sea many of you, connect you to each other, and the ocean!

We’d love to hear from you! What would you love to see more of in 2026? How can we support you better? Drop a comment! And/or if you have a few minutes to spare, fill out the member survey so we can co-create Ocean Nomads community into a bigger wave of adventure, impact, and community. There’s a present at the end 🙂

Lots of Ocean Love and gratitude
