What Happened To Sailing Satori?

This guide provides an in-depth look at Sailing Satori, a 137-foot sailing yacht introduced by Nick and Kelly after three years sailing the Caribbean. The boat was saved by a Tamaroa cutter ship, helicopter, and Falcon jet. Ray Leonard, the skipper of the sailboat, was abandoned during Coast Guard rescue.

After spending three years sailing the Caribean, Nick and Kelly returned to Tampa Bay and now offer sailing charters from Downtown St. Petersburg. They love sailing the Catalina Capri 22 performance day sailer, which handles well and is very fast upwind. The 50-meter semi-displacement motoryacht, delivered by Heesen Yachts last May, was the recipient of two World Yacht Trophies in Cannes.

The owners, Nick and Kelly, spent several years sailing and exploring the Caribbean Islands. Their travels can be seen on their popular YouTube channel, Sailing Satori. The yacht, built and designed in Bodrum, Turkey, was built and designed by Claus and Jeanette Thottrup, who have a background in property development.

Sailing Satori St. Pete Sailing Charters offers day and sunset cruises in Tampa Bay, with a FLASH sale on sails until the end of July. The boat’s story highlights the importance of self-employment and the freedom that comes with sailing.
