Gone With the Wynns follows Jason and Nikki Wynn’s travel and sailing story. Their years afloat span different boats and destinations, so this profile distinguishes those earlier chapters from claims about current plans.

The people behind Gone With The Wynns
Jason Wynn
Nikki Wynn
Their 2 cats, Cleo and Singa, sailed with Jason and Nikki as stowaways for 13,000 nautical miles.
Sadly, they could not continue and were left behind in the United States to an emotional farewell.
They left before the Wynns started their voyage across the Pacific towards Tonga and New Zealand.
Their reasoning was mainly due to biosecurity challenges in the countries they desired to visit.
Boats and projects
This section covers boats and projects described in the channel’s history; it is not a current ownership register.
Sailing vessel Curiosity is a 2005 Leopard 43.
As it’s for sale, you can view the listing here.
The catamaran in a 3-cabin owner’s version, with the main cabin taking up the entire starboard hull.
The Wynns have done many upgrades to Curiosity.
Notable items include:
- 2 Airconditioners
- Washing machine and dryer
- Composting toilet (taken from their old RV)
- Portable freezer

Journeys and notable episodes
The Wynns have done roughly the same amount of land miles when compared to sea miles.
To date, apart from some coastal cruising, they have done the popular route across the Pacific from the United States to New Zealand, and now in Australia!
Their two best collaborations are with Sailing Ruby Rose and Sailing Zatara.
Jason and Nikki aren’t afraid to hang out with other cruisers, and I look to seeing them meet other popular YouTube sailors.
They have had numerous guests on board including Dior, Nikki’s mom and Jason’s brother.
Some of the best moments by The Wynns include:
- Sailing with Mark who had only 6 months to live, creating one of the best fundraisers in YouTube cruising history
- Being approached by fishermen late at night, in what some viewers were describing as a potential pirate attack
- Experiencing a rough sail from Tonga to New Zealand where Jason became quite ill
- Getting a huge hole and losing their lifecraft in their boat on the same voyage
Our Pacific sailing-time guide puts the island stops into a wider route. Sailing Nahoa offers another account of family cruising in the region.
