People and background
Kevin Kelley
Wendy Kelly
Together, they have been sailing around the world for 6 years.
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 Yacht Talisman owns an Oyster 485. Their boat had been out of the water for 7 years before they were able to purchase her for cash in the United Kingdom.
Refits and equipment
They had replaced their rigging and most of the electronics before sailing away. Given the boat hadn’t really been used for years, there was definitely some work to be done!
Journeys and notable episodes
Places in the story
These locations refer to earlier episodes, not a live position.
They are cruising through Antigua as of 2023. This isn’t their first time in these cruising grounds.
Earlier sailing journeys
They are no strangers to sailing and had been around the United States, Caribbean and many more places.
Both are qualified captains and already had some experience.
Collaborations
I haven’t seen them have anyone else on their channel.
However, they did an in-person interview with Sailing Zingaro as they own identical boats. It’s definitely worth watching:
Both creators are definitely very knowledgeable and with a wealth of knowledge on crossing oceans by sail.
Notable episodes
They’ve had some close encounters with other boats, but otherwise, it’s been relatively smooth sailing.

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.
