The Truth About Running a YouTube Channel (It's NOT Easy)

July 16, 2025

Everyone sees the bikinis, sunsets, and crystal-clear water… but what does it really take to film a successful sailing YouTube channel? In this episode of the Sailing Doodles Podcast, I break down what goes on behind the scenes—from the long hours editing and filming, to the planning, crew management, and sacrifices it takes to stay consistent.


I’ll also share why you have to treat this like a full-time job if you want to succeed, how many videos it actually takes to build momentum, and answer some of your most asked questions about gear, crew, burnout, and bloopers.
