Ab aufs Boot und das Reisen, Arbeiten und Leben, getragen von Wellen erfahren.

Language Edition

Boatlife, das ist Nomadenleben auf dem Wasser, stets neue Landschaften und Kulturen kennenzulernen und die Freiheit dahin zu segeln, wohin einem der Wind weht.

Egal ob Mittelmeer, Ostsee oder Karibik, jedes Segelgebiet hat seinen eigenen Reiz und Momente, die es zu erleben und Abenteuer, die es zu bestehen gilt. Anhand von Fotos, Texten und illustrierten Karten wird beschrieben, wie sich das Leben auf dem Wasser anfühlt.

Immer mehr Menschen wollen und müssen nicht mehr zu Hause leben und arbeiten und tauschen die Enge ihrer Stadtwohnung gerne gegen die funktionale Gemütlichkeit einer Schiffskajüte ein.

Egal ob Segeltörn auf der Ostsee oder Atlantiküberquerung, mit jeder Reise wächst die Lust auf die nächste - und das Mitleid mit den Landratten.

What People Say

"Flick through the pages of Boatlife at your own risk: so dreamy are the scenes captured by Katharina Charpian that you might end up not being satisfied with a mere holiday getaway.(...) The book contains more than just awe-inspiring photography of the Arctic Circle, the Med and the coastlines of the Americas: Charpian has collected maps and itineraries too that will have you planning a life on the ocean wave well beyond your two weeks of annual leave."

Homes & Interiors

"Boatlife - für die einen ist das ein Hashtag, das sie ins Smartphone tippen, wenn sie träumen wollen. Für die anderen bedeutet Boatlife die Verwirklichung eines Traums."

Spiegel

"Morgens an einem neuen Ankerplatz aufwachen und vor der Arbeit noch schnell in kristallklares Wasser springen: Immer mehr Menschen verlegen ihr Büro aufs Boot – sie reisen auf dem Meer, ohne ihren Job aufzugeben. Ein neues Buch taucht in ihre Welten ein."
