Welcome aboard SV Chantey.
Join liveaboard skippers Ivan and Jane Chevous as we follow our dream, wandering the seven seas on our sailing ketch Chantey, a Westsail 42 designed by Bill Crealock.
Share our adventures as we become ‘Barefoot Sailors’ – sailing simply and sustainably.

Explore all things nautical, from sea shanties to whale-spotting and join in with your own stories and ideas. Let’s inspire the world to experience and protect the wonders of the deep.
Hitch up your hammock, pour a tot of rum and let the salty tales commence!
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
