Our Boat "Wonderer"

Samuels Sailing

After swapping life on land for life at sea, Wonderer became our home. She’s a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey optimized for long stretches off the grid. Whether we’re logging long passage miles or sitting quietly at anchor in a hidden cove, she gives us everything we need to live simply and explore comfortably.
