Description
We know this area since 2016 and are permanently in Guatemala since 5 years. Now It feels for us like home, lots of the locals know us and we love to be surrounded only by water and mangroves. No resorts or supermarkets, no night or city life, only some thatched roofs in the greens and peace all around. Next shopping possibility at Livingston or Rio Dulce.
We have run a marina and a house to host guests successfully in the last 4 years and are now living on our sailboat Endless Summer. We want to offer our other sailboat as accommodation to travelers on a budget who want to enjoy a few days out here relaxing a little from travelling. Before doing this, the boats need some TLC.
Types of help and learning opportunities
DIY and building projects
Hospitality/Tourism
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Living on a boat with limited space and recourses is a learning process by itself and we can support this in telling and teaching you about off grid life, sailing and how to live a creative and fulfilled life.
At the moment we are on anchor and not sailing around. The anchor place offers free :-) swimming in warm water whenever you want at a very save and remote location with few friendly locals around.
Help
Our future plan is to rent the boats as cheap accommodation for travelers on a budget.
For now, I am looking for somebody who likes to help and support me with getting the boats in a reasonable shape. Structurally they are in good condition, it mostly needs light works like tidying, cleaning, sanding and painting.

Spanish: BeginnerThis host offers a language exchange
30 years ago I spoke French fluently. I still understand everything but some vocabulary lost my mind or mix up with Spanish. Would like to have some practice again. And of course always happy to improve my Spanish:-)
Accommodation
You can stay on SOULSISTER, a 31ft sailboat which we are planning to restore. Please care for breakfast and in between snacks. I will cook in the evenings. If you want to drink other than filtered rain water, please bring it with you.
What else ...
The aim is to make the boats ready for receiving guests. It should be a nice and cool space with positive ambience but still everything should be neat and clean at any time.

I stayed on his ship for only 4 days. It was a short time, but it was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had!
Living on a ship has always been a dream of mine, so everything was new to me.
