Your boat : a 82 feet (25m) catamaran
Coboat is an 82ft retrofitted sailing catamaran and floating coworking space. Circumnavigating the globe and exploring uncharted waters, Coboat will be home and office for up to 20 digital nomads as they collectively set out on a sea-faring adventure combining life, work and play.
Using green and sustainable solutions, our water and electricity is entirely solar-generated and wind-powered. Coboat will provide the previously unthinkable: 24/7 internet connection, using the latest generation of communication technologies.

What should I bring ?
Laptops are a must – and any other hi-tech gear that you might want to bring along. Space is limited aboard the catamaran, so please leave your hard-shell suitcases and trolley cases ashore. Dress is casual – so pack light.. and leave your suits and cocktail dresses behind! You’ll spend most of your time in shorts, t-shirts, swimwear.. and bare feet!

If I’m female, will I share with another female?
Yes of course, all females will be paired together – unless you are part of a couple!

Can I stay for only 1 week
Yes, it is possible to stay for just one week. In this case we will try to find someone who will stay for the remaining time. However, we have to give preference to participants who want to stay the whole time if we find no one who wants to take the spot for the remaining time.
