Sailing Adventures with Luna the Boat Cat
Hi, we’re Erica, Adrian and Luna.
We live full-time on a 44ft Kelly Peterson sailboat in the UK — sharing the real costs, systems, and day-to-day life of living aboard with our cat.
This blog is where we document what it’s actually like, from power setups and budgeting to the small realities of everyday boat life (with Luna mostly supervising).
Daily Routine
Between work, boat maintenance and the weather deciding our plans, every day looks a little different. Luna’s main contribution is careful supervision from indoors.

Capt. Luna's Story
Luna did not start life as a boat cat. She was found as a tiny feral kitten, marked by the clipped left ear that shows she is a little survivor. She came into my life in London, long before sailing was part of the plan.
From city life to countryside quiet, she followed every change with us. She may not have chosen the sea, but she absolutely rules the boat.
If you’re thinking about bringing a cat onboard, we’ve shared what’s worked for us here:
