The people behind Life Well Cruised
Frank Schattauer
Ilana Schattauer
They have been married since September off 1994.
They’re from Montreal, Canada but are rarely if ever home!
They live to go cruising and have created the perfect lifestyle business that supplements their hobby!
For a different way to travel by water, Sailing La Vagabonde follows a family living aboard its own sailing boat.
Journeys and notable episodes
With 50+ cruises under their belt, they have experienced much of the Western world with each other.
I haven’t seen them with any other popular cruisers at this time.
Apart from some strange encounters with other passengers, they haven’t really dealt with anything too negative. They tend to go for standard and premium cruises, as opposed to low-budget options.
Readers comparing life aboard different vessels may enjoy the yacht tours covered in NautiStyles. The Mediterranean also features in the independent cruising story of La Vida a Vela.
Income and funding
The channel grew out of blogging and video-making about cruise holidays.
The channel’s income cannot be established from views or subscriber counts alone. Advertising rates, audience support and commercial agreements vary, while filming, travel and boat expenses affect what is left after costs.
The earlier profile describes the following sources of revenue. These do not establish a verified monthly earnings total.
- Selling digital downloads such as the Ultimate Cruise Planner
- Amazon affiliate links to products they use and recommend
- Ads that play on their YouTube videos (these do pay well given their engaged and wealthy audience)
