Raising 4 Kids on a Boat for 4 Years: Amber Morse

Megan Thompson

What happens when a family of six trades suburban life for the open sea?

Megan Thompson chats with Amber Morse about what it’s like raising four kids on a boat. Amber and her husband Brandon, sold their home, hit the road in an RV, then eventually made the leap to living aboard a sailing catamaran.

Amber shares how they made it happen: the fears they overcame, how they handle homeschooling and remote work, and what daily life looks like when your backyard is the ocean. They talk about the joys of minimalism, the unexpected lessons nature teaches, and how breaking away from materialism opened their family up to deeper connection, resilience, and presence.

This is a conversation about more than just travel—it's about freedom, family, and rewriting the script for what life can look like.

🌟 3 BIG TAKEAWAYS:

  1. Courage is contagious. Taking one leap (RV life) made the next one (sailing) possible.
  2. Real education happens everywhere. From homeschooling to self-guided learning, their kids are thriving.
  3. Presence > possessions. Life on the water stripped away the extra and brought clarity, connection, and meaning.
