They have been filming a ton of excellent and helpful videos lately:
Earlier sailing journeys
Out Chasing Stars have already circumnavigated the world (40,000nm) with their catamaran which made many haters go silent.
After all, David and Amy chose a boat that’s designed for the charter market rather than bluewater cruising, and yet, David and Amy made it happen with some trial and error.
They didn’t consider a Seawind catamaran as they wanted to start their journey either in Europe or North America, whereas Seawind is based in Australia while their factory is based in Vietnam.
Starry Horizons is a good compromise – as far as catamarans go, she’s a bit on the slower performance side. But, compared to our cruising friends in monohulls, we do pretty well, as we average about 6.75 knots on passage.

Notable episodes
What happened during their global circumnavigation?
A lot, actually:
- A seriously rough passage to New Zealand
- Finding an abandoned 5-star resort
- Getting hauled out in NZ and discovering damage
They didn’t get robbed or encounter pirates. After all, the world is a seriously safe place!

Is there a verified net-worth figure?
No verified financial disclosure is cited in this profile. The earlier estimate has been removed because a boat’s value, video views and assumed income do not establish someone’s net worth.
