We sailed to a place you can’t even fly to… 🌴⛵ Episode 184 takes you to one of the most exclusive yacht clubs on Earth — not because it’s expensive or famous, but because you can only get there by boat. No roads, no airports, no tourists… just untouched beauty and a hidden paradise few have ever seen. 😮 This remote atoll is home to a yacht club like no other — uninhabited, surreal, and totally off the map. We’ll show you what it’s like to arrive by sail, drop anchor, and experience a side of luxury that money can’t buy. 🎥 Watch until the end — this one’s unforgettable. #SailingLife #YachtClub #RemoteParadise #BoatLife #OffGridAdventure #SuperYacht #LuxuryEscape #TravelVlog #UntouchedNature #sailingadventures 🎥 Don’t forget to subscribe to follow our journey across the Pacific and support our small boat making big adventures. 🌐 Follow our adventures elsewhere: 👉 https://www.sweetruca.com 💙 Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ruca 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rucasailing 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rucasailing

We sailed into Likiep Atoll not knowing what to expect… and left with full hearts, new friends, and unforgettable memories.

That came from the people. #sailing #vlog #adventure Find us elsewhere: website & Blog: www.sweetruca.com Patreon: www.patreon.com/ruca Instagram: www.instagram.com/rucasailing Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rucasailing/ Instagram: @rucasailing Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/ey2t4k
