People and background
Ed Freitas
Patricia Freitas
They are a couple-crew although they have guests joining often. I’ve noticed that 90% of people who go cruising are couples rather than big groups or solo sailors.
I noticed their channel has the same intro music as Sailing Ruby Rose.
Boats and projects
The boats below are part of the channel’s earlier story; ownership and equipment may have changed since those episodes.
Boat details
Sailing Joy has a 2020 Lagoon 46. Previously they had a Lagoon 42 and upgraded for the space and stability. While it’s only an additional 4-feet, it increased their living space by 30% with the covered flybridge deck.
Refits and equipment
What upgrades have they made to their catamaran?
- B&G Zeus 3 Navigation Pack (Chartplotter and AIS)
- Garmin In Reach and Iridium Go
- Multiple fridges and freezers
- Rocna 40kg anchor (they kept their original 25kg anchor which became a spare)
They effectively have a floating condo that isn’t much different from a house, and that’s what they were aiming for.
Journeys and notable episodes

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.
