Stewart Coates and Zaya feature in Sailing Luckyfish, which documents sailing aboard a Wharram catamaran.
This profile covers earlier videos, boats and journeys. For current voyages and crew updates, refer to the creator’s latest posts.
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 Luckyfish owns a Wharram-designed Tiki 38 catamaran which is a very simple design and very much like traditional cruising catamarans. It has retractable engines (just like the Seawind 1160 that I’m purchasing), is easy to handle and is easy to work on.
Better yet, you can beach this catamaran quite easily.
Refits and equipment
Stew has upgraded the boat with a host of features to make their life easier. Check out his blog and channel to discover more.
Journeys and notable episodes
Places in the story
These locations refer to earlier episodes, not a live position.
Luckyfish hasn’t uploaded to YouTube in well over a year. Did they stop sailing? Has it been too difficult to raise Leo on the boat?
They were in Belize the last time I checked. If you do have more information, please let me know so I can update this article.
Earlier sailing journeys
They have explored in South Africa, the Atlantic and the Caribbean. They prefer warmer cruising waters rather than cold places.
Collaborations
I haven’t seen them on any other YouTube channels.
They are similar to Wildling Sailing if you wanted another channel to delve deeper into. 🙂
Notable episodes
Moments in their journey include:
- Running aground more than once
- Crossing the Atlantic
- Stew got injured at St Helena
He also told the story about how Sailing La Vagabonde were able to get their brand-spankin’ new Outrememer back in 2016:

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.
