Living on a sailboat doesn’t mean that we have to give up on comfort-- the ones we usually get while living under a house roof like sleeping soundly with the coldness of our full blast AC or rummaging through the fridge at midnight. Sure, we can have all of these little luxuries--even while living on a sailboat!

19 Cool Items That We Have On Our Sailboat

I’m sharing you 19 of the cool items that we have on our sailboat that makes us feel really at home and not just on another holiday :p

1) The Nanopresso Portable Espresso Maker

I’m not really a fan of coffee. But Jonathan and most of our guests are! The smell of caffeine is exhilarating though. :p What we love about it is it’s really small (perfect for our sailboat as we really can’t take big things on board) yet very powerful, it makes us feel like baristas.

2) IM Survival Kit

It’s always better to be ready than sorry. Emergency situations happen the least we expect it and having a survival kit could be a lifesaver. This kit is lightweight and contains Zipper Pull - Made from Live Fire Fire Cord, Roll Bag with Inner Pocket, Rain Poncho (also can be a shelter), Survival Blanket, 7 in 1 Silver Survival Whistle - Safety Whistle, Storage Container, 5X Magnifier, Compass, White LED Flashlight, Thermometer, Mirror for Signaling, Lanyard, 2 CR2032 batteries (Included), Multi-Tool Swiss Army Style Knife, 8 Piece Essential First Aid Supplies - 2 Sterile Gauze Pads, 2 Antiseptic Towelettes, 4 Plastic Adhesive Bandages (Band Aids), 12 Hour Glowstick and a Waterproof Match.

We have USB charging ports, portable bluetooth waterproof speakers, bluetooth headphones, smart power strip, portable solar battery banks, portable solar charger. This is just everything we need for our day-to-day blogging commitments!

4) Portable Solar Cooker from GoSun Stove

We are utilizing the sun’s energy as much as we can. Why not?? It’s free and it’s right above our roof. Thank goodness for this Solar Stove-- we can now cook using the sun’s heat! (Yes you read that right-- JUST THE SUN’S HEAT! No need for gasoline, coal, or electricity)

5) The Dometic Portable Fridge

Grabbing an ice cold drink on the hot and humid Florida weather is just lovely to read and even lovelier to do. Our Dometic Fridge keeps our food fresh and our drinks cold! Having an ice-cold drink is

6) Nature's Head Composting Toilet

Yes, we poop and pee in our sailboat too! Thanks to this Composting Toilet, it doesn’t stink as it usually does and clean up can be done every 3 days for the pee tank and every 3 weeks for the poopy tank :p

7) Trono Inflatable Seat

Our guests can now have a decent and comfortable seat in our 140 ft sailboat. This is easy to inflate and is very light! We can definitely carry this when we’re docked by the beach :)

8) The Kelly Kettle

Boiling water and cooking food under extreme conditions has never been this easy. Its design allows you to start the fire and keep it burning while your food cooks. It’s easy to carry around too. I think this is an ultimate must-have especially for campers.

9) Techni Ice Signature Ice Chest 60L

Have I told you that a pack of ice in Boot Key is 5$?? Thanks to this Ice Chest, our 5$ wouldn’t just melt away. Our ice stays as ice for a couple of days in this one.

10) Crimson G10 18 Pc. Cutlery Set By Ergo Chef

Now that I’m focusing on being a housewife, learning how to cook is the first skill I needed to learn. I’m a beginner but I feel like a pro with this set of knives. (If you’ve tried using a chef’s knife, you’ll really see the difference. Everything you cut just glides on it like butter)

11) Go Power! Solar Elite Charging System with Overlander Expansion Pack

We get our power from the sun, literally! With this Solar Elite Charging System, we get power supply for lighting, refrigeration and gadget charging. Soon, we will install the full battery bank, 2000 Watt pure sine wave inverter charger and the full complement of three solar panels. Then we will be able to power everything we own directly from the boat itself! :)

12) Premium Three Layer Memory Foam Mattress From Lull

Find the perfect combination of comfort, support, and therapeutic pressure relief, right in the middle of your sleep. See how we transformed this king size mattress into a V-Berth Mattress here :)

13) Pillow Cases From Oh! Susannah

These are lovely pillow cases with such funky, fresh, and motivational designs! Mind you, it doesn’t look and feel like your ordinary pillow case. They are considered to be super soft with nothing less than the top quality materials and ink.

14) BedVoyage Bamboo Rayon Bed Sheets and Towels

If you haven’t tried sleeping on bamboo sheets yet, then you haven’t really experienced what luxurious sleeping is all about. It’s silky soft!! Not to mention that these bamboo bed sheets and towels contain hypoallergenic, antifungal and antibacterial properties.

15) Push Pin World Map

It took us a while to find an accurate and high-quality map. Good thing we found this! We can now mark the places we traveled to for the past 4 years and plan new ones. It’s personalized and it looks stunning with S/V Empress’ interiors too :)

16) Portable Wifi From TEP Wireless

If you’re wondering how we always seem to be connected wherever we are in the world, this is the answer! Blogging is our bread and butter, so we make sure we have this portable wifi router right inside our pockets all the time. It’s fast, reliable, secure, and it can work anywhere in the world! Even on the sailboat :)
