People and background
Jamie who is originally from Australia.
Princess who is originally from Manila, Philippines. She was a singer in China.
They met at a hotel in China (2018) and quit their jobs in early 2019 to sail around the world.
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 Life on Jupiter has a 2019 Mumby Cyber 48 catamaran.
Unlike many YouTubers, their choice of a catamaran is quite unconventional. Jamie has owned boats before so he was after a particular type of build.
It was designed by Tim Mumby from Australia who has a small-scale builder that most of us haven’t heard of, but the design is as smart as it is functional.
Refits and equipment
What work have they done to make their catamaran ocean-capable? Quite a bit actually:
- They have upgraded their solar panels
- Jamie created a DIY watermaker similar to what Sailing Sunday did
- They had to fix their furler from the screecher
They also had to demast their catamaran to do the ICW. This is because their mast is higher than the height clearance of 56 feet.
Journeys and notable episodes
Places in the story
These locations refer to earlier episodes, not a live position.
Sailing Jupiter is in Panama.
They were around a few months behind on their videos.
Earlier sailing journeys
Over these last 3 years, they have sailed in:
- Africa
- United States
- SE Asia
- The Caribbean
They are no strangers to crossing oceans, having now done the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
Collaborations
I haven’t seen them on any other YouTube channels. However, there is another Australian who sails with his Asian wife called Sailing Luckyfish although they haven’t uploaded for a while.
Notable episodes
Memorable moments in their YouTube journey include:
- Getting stuck on a collision course with oil rigs
- Having a big drama on Jupiter through almost having a crash in the marina, and where Jamie suffered disc problem in his back. An ambulance was later called while they were in the Philippines.
- Being denied entry into several ports during international border closures
- Getting snagged on a power cable
- Discovering a sunken drug plane (they dove on it!)
- Launching a rocket from their boat
- Having their catamaran haulout aborted
- Avoiding disaster on more than one occasion
- Jamie had to go to the hospital too:
They have as much fun as they have drama. Fortunately, they both work well together on the boat with each taking an equal role.
From my experience (I dated a Filipina and yes, she was beautiful!), most don’t want to go in the sun or sailing, but Princess is clearly keen to get out there and explore. She’s a rare exception 🙂

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.
