Summer on a yacht moored in a cozy picturesque bay is a real dream. The Village talked to Ksenia Kushnarenko, the founder of the Le Picnic market, who spends the summer with her family on a sailing yacht in Orekhovaya Bay near Moscow, and found out if life on a boat is really like a fairy tale.
Lifestyle
We bought this boat with my parents a couple of years ago in Poland. We went for one and bought a completely different one. Roughly speaking, they went for a tricycle, and bought a motorcycle. It took her a long time to get to us: we bought it in the fall, and she arrived only in the spring of next year.
The boat was launched at the Gals yacht club on the Pirogovskoye reservoir. The first year they stood there, and then moved to the neighboring yacht club "Nut Bay" - "Oreshka". It is very cozy here: a narrow bay, elongated like Pinocchio's nose, a boat to the boat, a compact pier and immediately from it - a hillock with a grove. Upstairs - houses, cafes, yacht parking and a yacht shop. In addition to yachtsmen and their sympathizers, wakers and windsurfers hang out here. Parents live in the yacht club almost all the time, and my young man Zhenya and I ride there as if we were going to a dacha. We try to spend everything in Oreshka free time, but if there is business, we jumped into a taxi - and already in the city.
Our boat is called Vesta. When we bought it, it had a different name, but traditionally it is supposed to change the name when the owner changes. We had many options, but in the end we chose Vesta: I read that this is the patron goddess of the family hearth. The boat appeared at a difficult moment for our family and probably really united and rallied us for some time. So for us it is a very symbolic name.
In addition to the boat, we have a house in Nut Bay, and we mostly sleep there.
We also tried it on the boat: nothing in the aft cabin, but in the bow you feel like in a single tent. At night, it is very inconvenient to get out to the toilet: you need to dismantle the bed from pillows, otherwise the door will not open. Zhenya climbed out through the hatch, but waking up is not easy. In addition, this hatch is quite decent in size and acts as a porthole. The light that enters through it makes it very difficult to sleep. Imagine that you are sleeping in a transparent tent - about the same sensations.
But it is pleasantly shaking on the waves. Sleep like a baby in a cradle. And only nightingales interfere with sleep. The nightingales here are somehow especially fanatical: they begin to sing around 23:00 and do not finish until the morning. No earplugs. In general, we usually go on a boat during the day, and spend the night in a house opposite. We also have a container - one in which goods are usually transported. It also stands nearby, and we want to convert it into a living space. We have already painted the container yellow, now we are working on the stairs, and then we are planning repairs inside.
Yacht device
Our yacht is sailing, centerboard, quite large by local standards - 33 feet in length, which is about 10 meters. There are only two such large cruise boats: ours and our neighbor - the French Jeanneau.
The boat was made at the Polish shipyard Maxus. We are not her first owners, but she was in perfect condition, and we decided to buy. I remember we went on a tour of the plant, where we were shown the entire process of assembling the ship from the matrix to the finished hull. Then we were invited to the regatta on this same boat, where we, together with the captain, took first place. And then there was a party with dancing, tables bursting with food, a river of beer and fireworks. Therefore, we had no chance not to buy a boat.
Inside there are three cabins (one bow and two aft), one latrine, a spacious saloon and a cockpit. The cost of parking our boat includes the actual parking itself, that is, mooring, and round-the-clock security - this is 8 thousand rubles a month. Electricity and water are paid separately. By the way, we have the purest spring water, from a local artesian well. The galley has a sink, refrigerator and a small gas stove. So we don’t eat diluted soups here, rather the opposite: every day, then tom yum, fish soup or pasta with mussels. Parents are very fond of throwing dinner parties - it seems that the whole Oreshka has already been to them. Not only from neighboring yacht clubs, they come to us from Voronezh.
All the water from our shower, toilet and kitchen is drained into a tank, and from there - to Pirogovka. But not into the bay, of course - we drain as soon as we sail away. According to yacht etiquette, no one uses a latrine during parking (only if it is completely pressed). We have two souls: one is in the same place where the latrine is, and the second is at the stern, right in the transom. It is very convenient: dived, swam, rinsed. By the way, it is officially impossible to swim in the bay - the guard swears. This is logical: boats and boats go back and forth. But we still swim.
We have never had a dacha, and the boat has become a great alternative to it. And the yacht has its advantages. After all, the house stands still and stands, and you took the boat and went out for a ride in the evening. Most often we ride along Pirogovka or go to the Pestovskoye reservoir. There is a wind - we set the sails, no - we go under the motor. The furthest we went was to Konakovo, on the Volga, through the Moscow Canal. It seems that there are six locks there and the same number back.
Theoretically, on our boat you can go to Ladoga, to Onega - we have a good lake type of yacht. But with the sea it is already more difficult. Here it is more logical to take a charter on the spot. To go to sea their requirements. But if you prepare and if you have time, then you can go there, I think.
The captain is our father. He's the only one with the skipper's crusts. And Zhenya and my mother are like this - a soldered sailor (from the word payol. - Approx. ed.) as he calls us. We set the mainsail, work on the staysail, work out the tack and jibe turns. Recently we went to skipper courses, as a result of which at the end of summer we should receive an IYT Bareboat Skipper diploma (this is an international certificate that gives us the right to manage a sailing yacht up to 22 meters long). At the end of the course, they promise practice in Greece - this is very attractive. I would like to be somewhere other than Konakovo and Poland - well, to be in the captain's shoes, of course.

Cleaning and maintenance
A boat in terms of cleaning is no different from a house - the only difference is that you have to clean up much more often. This is a yacht for guests - a holiday, they came and left. And for those who live on it, this is a harsh everyday life. All the time you clean something - the space is small, everything is in plain sight.
My father is generally a “clean freak”: he is as clean as in the medical unit, every stopper and every button on the dashboard are signed. It looks funny, but it helps. He seems to be the only one here. I have never seen my boat treated with such care. He always buys something for her: either a new sail, or a navigation system. Although why is she in Pirogovo? Reefs, shoals and schools of mackerel do not seem to be observed here.
All in all, a boat is a big toy that you can fiddle with endlessly. Well, it is necessary to feed it - in the sense of refueling. There is no gas station in Oreshka, so we bring fuel in canisters. It takes 40 liters of gasoline alone for the engine, and you still need diesel for the heating system.
Maintaining a yacht is not a cheap pleasure. Having bought it once, you will not only constantly upgrade the boat, but also repair it. One of the guests threw something into the latrine, and the tank became clogged. And to eliminate the blockage - 500 euros, take it out and put it down. Buy a storm sail - a thousand dollars, repair the stem - 30 thousand rubles. 30 thousand rubles for a site 30 by 30 centimeters is a thousand per square centimeter. In addition, like any transport, the yacht requires regular technical inspection. For the winter, the motor is mothballed, the yacht is taken out of the water and put on a trailer to spend the winter on land.
Summer in nature
We seem to be very close to Moscow - ten minutes by car to the Moscow Ring Road, but the proximity of the city is not at all felt here. It feels like you are somewhere very far away.
I love our house. We have panoramic windows everywhere, and we seem to be the only ones who have not curtained them. I studied in Denmark, and this habit I have from there: there, no one ever curtains the windows, and no one cares what you do. But the whole world is in full view.
So here - around the trees, the water is a few steps away. Like in the house, but like in nature. It turns out to be an ideal observation platform, and you sit and seem to be watching TV: a reservoir, a hazel tree, bells, squirrels jump, hedgehogs rustle, someone conjures over the grill, Lena from the wake station shouts to one of the newcomers for the hundredth time about “ softer knees, ”the Kunashir yacht has gone, but our Vesta is departing. To be honest, it's impossible to work. I tried - a failed idea. You are distracted by something all the time. Communication, again. We have a very hospitable yacht, there are always some new people on the boat, there is always something to treat. Therefore, if the park is for work - I’m going to the city, you can definitely get together there.
My experience of traveling on yachts is 6 years, of which 3 years as a captain. As a yacht captain, I have sailed over 5,000 nautical miles - in Thailand, Norway, canary islands and to the Mediterranean Sea in Turkey, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, France and Spain. For the last four years I have been organizing all over the world! In this essay, I wanted to tell you about how wonderful it is to arrange your life in the space of a sailing yacht!
At small area the space of the yacht is organized so that it is as comfortable as possible on it! At the disposal of the tenant or owner of the yacht will be a bedroom - a comfortable cabin with a large bed, wardrobes and shelves. Bathroom with hot water shower, mirror and lots of shelves. And, of course, a kitchen with a table, refrigerator, stove, dishes.
Bedroom (cabin) Bathroom (latrine) Kitchen (galley)
It will be convenient to work at the navigation table, and in order to sit with the whole company, there is a wardroom, a cozy living room and a dining room at the same time.

For breakfasts and romantic dinners in the open air, the so-called cockpit on the deck, equipped with sofas and a folding table, is perfect. The bow of the yacht, especially the net between the floats on the catamaran, is nothing more than a private beach.

So you can stay on a modern yacht just as comfortably as in a hotel. But at the same time, your hotel has excellent mobility! Thanks to the fuel reserves, the yacht can sail freely for many days even in the absence of wind, in addition, the yacht can be loaded with such water supplies that you do not have to worry about replenishing them throughout the journey. The yacht covers distances of 150-200 kilometers per day, but at the same time, your captain will take care to avoid sailings longer than 4-6 hours a day. Every day you can admire wonderful views, get acquainted with new cities, swim, sunbathe, and if you're lucky, snorkel surrounded by colorful fish and swim in a race with dolphins.
Traveling on a yacht is not only free sailing, but also freedom of parking. You can always moor near the island or village you like, in order to stroll through the ruins of an ancient fortress, lie on a snow-white beach, or plunge into the social life of the city you need. Or you can moor right next to the cliff, as we did at the time, and immediately arrange fishing to catch your lunch.
Cities and islands, quiet harbors and noisy embankments, majestic mountains and the azure sea, (as well as "") ancient castles and temples, sailing and excellent fishing, underwater world and indescribably beautiful sunsets, unity with the outside world and incredible freedom - all this can only be given by a vacation on a yacht.
We will be glad to open yachting for you during our yacht tours. Nearest
An interesting discussion ensued about life on a 40+ yacht. User Alloy Boy wondered what it was like to move from an apartment to a small boat:
“All day long I see yachts from the window of my office, and it seems to me that life on them flows so serenely. he writes. - Is it really there nowhere to turn around, it seems to me (if you live alone)? How quickly do they depreciate? A quick search reveals that a 40-footer is comparable in price to an apartment or a small house, but what are the advantages of living on a yacht (other than mobility)?
Here are the responses he received:
Imaka
"It's a very relaxed life and quite comfortable, but it all depends on your needs and desires. By the way, in most places you will pay much less for a 40-foot yacht than for an apartment.
Life on a boat is not for everyone. It can be pleasant and relaxing, but to make it so, you have to work hard. If it is possible to live on a yacht without buying it, then you should do it.
You must take care of fresh water and emptying the waste tank. For water, you will have to run ashore - sometimes to the marina. In some places there is water delivery to the boat, but experience tells me that this is rather an exception. Personally, I haven't been so lucky. When my husband and I stood in one place for a long time, we had to grab 20 liters of water every time we went ashore.
Need electricity? If so, consider wind turbines or solar panels, depending on where you live. Refrigerator? The most energy-hungry device on a yacht. There are less voracious, but they will cost you a pretty penny. Would you like to have a hot shower on the boat? Consider whether your area is warm enough to make do with a daily "summer shower" or if you should buy a water heater.
What about the concoction? If you have a gas stove, especially the Force 10, two burners and an oven, that's great, some people complement it with a barbecue grill in the cockpit. With a stove, you should have a gas detector in the cabin in case there is a leak, the gas can accumulate on the bottom of the boat, causing an explosion.
If you are at anchor, then you will have to get to the shore on a dinghy every day. Make sure it doesn't get stolen. Is there transport on the beach? So much the better, you don’t have to carry laundry, food, etc. on your hump. Do you work every day? Keep in mind that there will be days when it will not be easy to get to the shore by dinghy.
Do you want TV and internet on board? We usually used mobile internet. Sometimes it was lucky to catch an unpassworded wi-fi. A sufficiently high-mounted antenna will provide reception of free TV channels. Naturally, the picture quality will "limp" when the boat is moving.
Again, depending on the region, clothing can suffer from moisture and mold. To avoid this, we hid everything in airtight bags.
There are those who prefer to rent places in marinas, they live on board and receive most conveniences of a typical home. But not all marinas allow it.
I would repeat my experience if given the opportunity and if the right person is around."

"Thinking about it myself. I've been swimming for years, I'm approaching retirement, and the prospect of having a second home is appealing. If you're working, you probably don't want such a drastic change.
If life in a kennel does not scare you, then go ahead. On a yacht in a marina, you get the following: long walks to and from the car with purchases, daily trips to the showers in the marina (a drain bank will save the situation, but you can’t empty it in the marina, and it’s expensive to pay for it weekly) or you can go out to sea every week to empty it there.
Highly recommend a light (or white) interior. Dark wood is depressing during the winter months. In addition, in winter you can suffer from claustrophobia. That is why for those who are planning to live on a boat, I advise you not to skimp on space. The more space, the better your mental health.
It's a lot like living in a camper...with the chance of drowning."
DoH
No washer/dryer. "Interruptions" with water. Everything is modest with cabinets and cooking. The beds leave a lot to be desired. Shower with boxes. Everything is damp all year round. The smell of gasoline if you have a motorboat. Knock on the pier, even if the boat is tied. Many yachts don't have heaters, none of the ones I've been on have air conditioning. At best, you will just be cramped. Entertainment is tight. Getting a pet is almost impossible. Straighten up to your full height? Forget it.
Everything is true, of course, but I myself would like to live on a boat - but only in long journey, and not huddle in the marina and dangle to work back and forth. Maybe live in the Caribbean in the winter and move to Maine for the summer? I would also like to North America reach Europe. A completely different life!
Think of it this way: having a boat as your home is like having a motorcycle for all occasions. Sounds romantic, but how convenient is it in practice?

You don't have to stay where you don't want to, you are literally and figuratively the "Captain of your ship" and no one will argue with that.

Personal experience: How to move to live on a yacht and not screw up
Anna Balagurova, former editor-in-chief of The Village Petersburg online newspaper, gave up her career and office work a little less than a year ago to travel across the Atlantic with her husband. On the website of Snob magazine, she maintains a detailed blog about her adventures, and she told us about how she got used to life on a ship while crossing the ocean.
I was on a sailing boat for the first time a year and a half ago. By some absurd accident, in Helsinki, during the Flow festival. My friend somewhere picked up guys from St. Petersburg who came there to race. We were, of course, invited to join, but only as detractors - we were not good for anything else. It seems that a friend was then instructed to "mine a spinnaker in a kitty." It was funny to me, but she was practically buried under sail.
Then, by another chance, I met my future husband - a yacht instructor. We drank a lot, talked about how we want to live and travel. In general, we were extremely romantic and agreed that a sailboat is an ideal option for both of us. This is at the same time a transport that is moved by the forces of nature (that is, free of charge), a house anywhere in the world (also inexpensive), and even an opportunity to earn money by teaching or simply driving people. It sounded like a good plan, and we decided not to give it up.
It remained to choose and buy a boat. There were several requirements - a reliable yacht for the oceans (the so-called blue water cruiser), in the Mediterranean Sea (so that you can reach the Canaries without entering the evil Biscay and the English Channel), costing up to 60,000 euros (to leave a little for an upgrade) and, of course in good condition. Through the Internet, we found several almost perfect options in Sweden for half the price of what we planned. But all these northern seas… in general, we became too lazy, because it was June, and already in November we were going to start in the transatlantic. We bought our 1985 Westerly in Greece. A solid English shipyard, pedantic owners, a beer opener on the step, again. I immediately felt sympathy for this neat and solid boat, for its funny chubby owners, who unashamedly declared that they did not like strong winds, and also that they would take away the grill, because without a grill their summer would be ruined.
A little paperwork with registration of the boat and insurance - and already in July we began to slowly move towards Gibraltar with stops in pleasant coastal cities, from mossy Sicilian resorts to magnificent Syracuse and Palma de Mallorca. Thus began my life on the boat.
The first thing you had to get used to was roll and roll. How to live when your world is tilted 30 degrees? How to sleep when you are thrown from side to side? Well, let's say you're not in the transition, but at the anchorage, but damn it, you're still rocking, it's water! You go out to the ground - you sway out of habit. After crossing the ocean, I almost stopped paying attention to it. Firstly, I caught zen from the realization that I would have to hang out in open water for at least three weeks. Secondly, I wanted pancakes and fried potatoes even in a five-meter wave, so I had to get out. Remember - sometimes at anchorages it shakes almost like in the middle of the Atlantic. So if you want to live on a yacht, train your vestibular apparatus. At least on the carousels.
Learn to conserve water. If you are not overly rich and cannot afford an extra 400-500 euros per month for comfortable marinas, get used to spending 10 liters of water on a major wash (in the ocean, 2-3 was enough for my body and hair, but this is too spartan ). Washing dishes or washing with fresh water is out of the question - everyone living on the yacht has taps sea water(although we do laundry in laundromats and increasingly use paper plates). There is one controversial point here - all waste products are thrown out of the yacht straight into the sea. The so-called gray water (from dishes and showers) can be drained almost anywhere in the world. Black water (from the toilet) in many countries is required to be stored in collector tanks on the boat and pumped out in specially designated areas. Taken together, this all sounds terribly crazy. Shit diluted in water is much more harmless than fairies or alkaline shampoos. On a yacht, I try to use eco-friendly household chemicals and cosmetics, but rather for complacency. Because on the scale of the oceans, this is simply ridiculous.
In addition to water, you will have to save electricity. We travel in sunny regions, so for our needs (refrigerator, recharging phones and laptops, light, autopilot), two solar panels are almost always enough. Many people install windmills and water turbines on boats - versatile, but prohibitively expensive. We also have a distiller installed - an incredibly useful thing that gives complete autonomy from the coast. True, distilled water should not be drunk for too long due to the complete absence of useful substances contained in ordinary water. We fill full tanks every time we have the opportunity. 350 liters of water is enough for the two of us for more than 2 weeks.
Those who live on the water need to periodically get out to the shore - not everything is to sit at home. For this purpose, they usually use a small inflatable boat with a motor or oars (although in the Canaries I saw two girls who ignored the oars and rowed with fins). It is almost impossible to leave this enterprise with a dry bottom. So, let's imagine: early Saturday morning, you fall out of the bar. What's next? That's right, you get into a taxi to go home to sleep. And I wander along the beach or the embankment in search of my seedy boat, which turned into an inflatable pool overnight, enter into an unequal battle with a wave, jellyfish, an engine even more sluggish than me. In general, one wrong move and the boat is on your head. We recently forgot to take our oars with us, for the first time in our lives. Of course, on the way back, our engine died, also for the first time in our lives. We were stuck on our inflatable hernia in the middle of the bay in the very center of Bridgetown, where at that time we were celebrating the 50th anniversary of the independence of Barbados. Under the hooting of the crowd from the embankment, they buried their hands and after 40 minutes they were on the yacht (the way under the motor was about three minutes). The ridiculous situations in which you find yourself while living at anchor are beyond count.
School of Captains
Everyone can become a captain of a sailing ship - all you need is a desire and a good instructor. The Power of the Wind will teach you everything you need to know and be able to, and after passing the exam, you will be issued an international class driver's license. We conduct theoretical courses in the center of Moscow, and practice in the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands. Come to class!
Otherwise, everything is like at home or rather in the country. A bedroom with a large bed, a living room with a large table, internet (we have an aerial booster to steal wifi from coastal cafes), even an oven (to store frying pans). There is a TV in the cabin - exclusively for watching movies and TV shows. There are speakers in the cockpit so you can dance on deck or just have a feast. As for the feasts - yachtsmen are not fools at all to drink. One of the terms that came into my everyday life after moving to the boat - sundowner - means "a glass of alcohol drunk at sunset." Another term was coined by my husband - "Polish Yachting". This is when you rent a boat for a week and never leave the marina because you drink all day. From the name it is clear that the Poles do this mainly, not us.
Any racer will spit in my face when they see what my boat turns into at anchorages. A hammock dangles on the spinnaker boom, a bucket is tied to the fur sheet of the staysail (well, so as not to drop it), shorts are dried on the rails. Books and clothes are scattered everywhere, the kitchen is overgrown with a bunch of little things - this happens to everyone who hangs in one place for more than a few days. After a couple of weeks in the parking lot, it's hard to force yourself to go out to sea. Too lazy to collect everything, fix it, lay it out in lockers. Reluctance to mess with the anchor, then with the sails. Well, if you have to go for a short time and with a good wind. Transitions for more than a day in our case turn into seizure yachting. Long hours of procrastination on deck, and then - a sudden change in the wind, a gust, a torn sheet, running around under the heart-rending cries of the captain. At first, I was stunned by the fact that the captain is actually my husband. I still don't understand why he's yelling like that! They say that almost all skippers behave in a similar way, no matter how nice people they are in ordinary life. In the USA there is a yachting school for women, with women owners and teachers. So, their slogan is “No shout”. I think it's very cool and right.
I read in many yachting blogs that after life on a yacht it is difficult to return to the cities, because the boat gives a feeling of freedom and all that, and the city subjugates itself, leaving only the illusion of choice. It seems to me that in many respects this is slyness. To balance between the inexpensive gypsy life on a yacht and maintaining the boat in a condition suitable for serious transitions, you need money, at the current rate, quite a lot. This means that it is still impossible to exclude oneself from the circle of capitalist relations. To some extent, you become a slave to your own boat. If you want to radically change the situation, you need money not only for yourself, but also for the parking of the yacht. The apartment can be locked up and forgotten, and only a rather careless owner can leave the yacht hanging at anchor and just dump. The most painless, in my opinion, scenario is as follows: for six months, while the weather is good in Europe, travel, stopping at anchor, and put the boat in an inexpensive marina for the winter (if you look, you can meet 600-700 euros for 6 months) and leave home to work. With more exotic places, this will not work - flying away is expensive, leaving the boat is even more expensive. If everything is tired, you are in a hopeless situation.
A big bonus of owning a yacht in Europe is the opportunity to stay abroad almost indefinitely without worrying about a visa. If without unnecessary details - put a stamp on exit in any of the EU countries. This is done either at the local police station or at the passenger port. Both there and there there are more important things than you with your visa, so they put the seals without looking. Upon arrival in the next country, the entry stamp can be “accidentally forgotten” until it is necessary to fly home. Such an unexpected loophole still does not fit in my head, because we are all used to serious control at airports and land borders. The Caribbean, on the other hand, turned out to be quite a bureaucratic place. In almost every Antilles where we spend this winter, you need to draw up documents for entry and exit. In Barbados, among other things, we were sent to the medical office, where we had to fill out a questionnaire with questions like “have you died on board” and “does the crew have diarrhea”. But except on paper, there is no control. For more than half a year, our yacht has never been checked, although we have already crossed half the world. Even bring slaves, even enriched uranium. In that sense, having your own boat does give you a certain amount of freedom. This is probably why same-sex couples and all those who, for ideological or any other reasons, have ceased to be satisfied with life in modern cities quite often travel on yachts.
The World or Mir - the first passenger ship, which is also a private home. Residents live on board the ship, and the ship itself moves around the globe. The owners of the cabins do not rent them for the days of the cruise, but are the full owners. Today the World has entered London.
The huge ship with a length of 196.35 meters is constantly on a non-stop cruise, visiting all continents.
The ship has now arrived in London, after which it will head to France and then to Spain.
Great view! Cabin owners can live on the yacht all the time, or they can only occasionally appear in their apartments. On average, owners of apartments on a yacht live in them for 3 to 6 months.
The ship has 6 restaurants, as well as grocery stores, boutiques and salons. There is also a fitness center, a billiard room and a golf simulator.
Created in 2002, this yacht has 165 luxury apartments ranging from $2.7 million to $9.1 million for a top suite. About 130 families around the world own apartments.
In four years, the ship can visit more than 900 ports in more than 140 countries if it sails at a maximum speed of 18.5 knots (34 km/h).
The world is on the move all year round. However, its passengers are not necessarily in their apartments all the time.
The World has arrived in London today. The last time he visited the English capital was in 2013.
The ship has three-room apartments and six-bedroom penthouses.
The cost of an apartment on a ship is calculated depending on the squares. In addition to three-room apartments, there are two-room apartments, as well as studios. In total, the ship has about 40 studios.
All apartment owners have access to a full-size tennis court, spa, fitness center, swimming pool, as well as 12,000 bottles of expensive wine.
The ship's routes are planned two or three years in advance by public voting.
