Never did I ever think I would be sailing a Superyacht! But thanks to a wild case of serendipity, and our friend Captain Mike, we had what was no doubt one of the best (and most luxurious) days of sailing we’ve ever had!
Captain Mike is a longtime patron of ours that we got to know during our time in New Zealand. He has been the captain of DESTINATION, a 135-foot aluminum sailing yacht, for almost 20 years. So, he knows a thing or two about boats and has helped us with more than a few projects. Including installing our new sails and tramps: www.gonewiththewynns.com/curi...
We became good friends and now here we all are in Cannes, France! It’s been well over a year since our time together in New Zealand. But the sailing community is a small world (even if the boats aren’t). We knew we would meet up again but, never did I ever think it would be while he was on the job.
It was an unforgettable experience aboard one of the world’s most beautiful sailing superyachts. Thank you Mike and Sailing Yacht DESTINATION!

WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of modern-day documentarians, perpetual travelers, and seekers of tall tales.
We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. Self-reliance and living a sustainable lifestyle are a must. It's all about managing our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
We've lived off the grid for over 10 years now in everything from a Van to RV to a Sailboat. And over time we have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water, and managing our waste.
Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

It always amazes me how spotlessly clean the crews keep these super yachts. The knowledge and professionalism of the captains is remarkable.
Yep. The yacht I worked on, the deckhands washed the boat every single day.
I worked on a similar yacht. Many people we spoke to around the world genuinely questioned what we did all day as a crew, like it was some kind of holiday camp.🤣The amount of dedication, work and money to keep these boats operational, safe and looking good is another level. We ran with 7 crew, full time staff, living onboard.
That’s all because of smart and rich owners know what they do as well 😁
Keeps the value of these vessels
Mike, thanks for letting the Wynns share this beautiful yacht with the rest of us!
I’ve seen that yacht on other videos, it’s beautiful. But this is the only video that portrays how exhilarating it must be to actually sail such a magnificent piece of aquatic art. Thank you.
The Wynn's are kids at heart and it takes that to give us videos like these! Love you guys!
There is nothing, NOTHING comparable to sailing a monohull of this size. The most beautifull experience in the world
Nice boat.
Be neat to see one of those 1890's America Cup racers like the Shamrock gaffed rig with tops'l 125 feet
I can’t even imagine how long it takes to polish all the woodwork and brightwork on that incredible boat. I couldn’t help but notice when Nikki did the tour that all of the hand towels and soaps were still perfectly placed after the sail. That crew has done an amazing job keeping her in tiptop condition!
all it takes is $$$$..lol
Thanks to Captain Mike for sharing his super sailing vessel with all of us. What a nice Sunday morning sail!
I don't know who designs for Perini and Alloy but they are the most beautiful boats. I am so jealous of you having the opportunity to sail her. Thanks to the owner, Mike and the broker for allowing it.
Hi Richard, this was designed by the Naval Architects Dubois Yachts, sadly Ed Dubois passed away a number of years ago but Malcolm McKeon is still designing boats today.
Even more impressive is the thing is 2 decades old! It looks flawless. Beautiful yacht.
I’m in love with this vessel. If I had the means, I would much rather own her and sail with her amazing crew than any motoryacht. She has been so well taken care of. ❤️ ⛵️
That’s real sailing! I am getting an adrenaline rush just watching!
Nikki, love your spunk and mastery of words. For both of you, this is one of your best releases in terms of bringing all of us aboard for this ride.
Just WOW! what a treat for all of us. It was so amazing to take us sailing on this beautiful yacht. We usually only get to see drone views and tours in port, but you gave us the real deal! Thanks so much!
Thats really a ship that is a work of art, from the mechanicals to the decor. I never realized how amazing a super Yacht could be until you gave us a view, thanks so much for posting this for our enjoyment. A big pat on the back for both of you for your skills at making this so interesting and enjoyable. Ray
Crickey. That's what you call stowing the anchor!!!!!😊😊
Absolutely magnificent vessel!! You guys are so blessed to have these opportunities thank you for bringing us along and sharing!! Enjoy and be safe out there!
1st thought.... WOW! 2nd thought.... WOW! 3rd thought.... WOW! What an amazing sailing vessel. This boat with the owners, plus the Wynns.... fun, fun, fun. Great episode guys, TY for sharing this magnificient vessel with us .
Meticulous in luxurious details, the video shows upfront what's it like "to be up front seeing the ocean up front eyes wide open experiences" the professionalism of the captain and crew were impeccable with every detail on your cruise.
I had the rare chance to get a private tour of Air Force 1 many yrs ago. My thougths were along the lines of "a machine that displays the pinnacle of human achievement". This tour brings back the exact same sentiment. Nikki and Jason, your filming and production do justice! Very, very well done.
Only one word "SPECTACULAR!" ❤️👍 Was definitely one of your best videos. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.
Nikki..your sounds of excitement and joy make my day! lovely to see you enjoy
Absolutely amazing boat. Can’t wait for a walk through of your new HH! Super excited to see all the cool tech in action!!
Unreal!! So cool though! Mike is so kind to have ya’s come on for an adventure! Loved this video!
You guys take me to the Best places on Sunday mornings! What a beautiful boat.
Awe, thanks for joining us!
Wow! This is a super vessel .. literally! Thanks for the tour - I can’t imagine living aboard this yacht!!!!!🥰🥂
Wow, you are so fortunate to be invited to sail on such a beautiful sail boat❤️. Thanks for inviting us along and it seems that every Sunday you have surprisingly stunning videos to share with us so thank you❤️❤️
This is the most gorgeous monohull I've ever seen! And they have all this new tech beautifully integrated.
Wow what an incredible experience for you guys!!! It’s a stunning boat, thanks for taking us along for the ride 😊Can’t wait for your own boat tour
It's going to be such a strange transition when you guys get your boat and are solo again. ❤. I'm honestly looking forward to it. It's been great seeing all these great experiences and interesting people over the past many months. Almost like we've been on vacation visiting family for a while and can't wait to get back to our own beds and be in our own space. Keep up the great work Wynn's, I really do appreciate all the work that goes into giving us 20-30 minutes of Sunday enjoyment. (Hopefully all that rambling made sense, need more coffee this morning 😂)
Guys, thanks so much for this video. This boat is incredible. I guess at 12 million it should be. I can only view what it must be like sailing this boat. Living the life away from it all. This is truly a boat I could only dream about owning. Take care and see you again when reality sets in.
What amazes me also is being able to operate everything from wheel area, that makes this really nice yacht to own.
This is a beautiful boat! I think I loved your excitement and giddiness the best as you were doing this. I have to say, the owners allowing Mike to bring you sailing on this yacht that is for sale was brilliant! They now have a video that is absolutely wonderful to show off the boat! If the people they took the boat to Cann to show didn't buy it, they will have this video to show it off with. Much better video tour than most sales videos!
What a stunning yacht! Absolutely beautiful woodwork inside out. The view of the 1st mate up the mast and Jason walking from bow to stern gives an incredible perspective on how huge this boat is - that boom alone is probably longer than a 40 foot monohull
What an episode... I was laughing and smiling all the way through 😂🤣😂🤣🤘🏽🇿🇦. Mike is such a cool guy/captain 😎
Absolutely stunning vessel! What a treat to spend a bit of time on it with you all... thank you to the Wynns and the crew!!
So beautiful to see , the sailing and speed would keep you occupied for months and would never get old.. well maybe the healing would just a little. Thanks for the video.
Beautiful vessel with amazing crew. I'm impressed with the staff and Gourmet meals on a yacht! Thanks guys.
I have never seen a yacht like this before shown in detail. This is an amazing show and only you and Jason make content like this without making it feel fake or out of reach. (even though it is for me). That in-mast boom thing, the thickness of the mattresses, where is the piano? Happy Trails
I'm 12 minutes into this video, and it might just be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Jason walking at a slant down into the yacht's kitchen looked pretty funny! 😂🏄♂️
Great photography. Thanks all! As for medium big monohulls, this design seems really nice. Mike did a great job highlighting its benefits at: 5:25. Builder is Alloy Yachts of New Zealand, now out of business. Built around 2001, 2002. Aluminum hull and Carbon masts. 1:20 that anchor seems really small for a boat that size. Cool retracting mechanism.
Thank you Captain Mike!! ❤🎉
Please call it what it is. It's a Yacht (sailboat, in America, maybe). But, to the majority of the world, it's a yacht. Aside from that, love watching you guys and would love to live the life you have. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
Jason walking was hilarious. I can't even imagine, I already have vertigo. I can only imagine what I would look like on video. Tell Captain Mike I am available for crew. I could be the entertainment. Bahahahahaha. What an unbelievable boat. WOW!!
Mit so einer Yacht macht seglen wieder Spass, auch auf langen Passagen, man hat Platz, ordentliche Betten und Bäder und vor allem ein Raumklima wie in einem Haus.
Wow! Mike is a great host and a great skipper! What a cool opportunity. Nice production.
What a ship!!! Thanks Wynn’s, appreciate the great video. Such an amazing piece of art!! Looks like it just cuts through the water.
That is a sailboat on steroids! Beautiful though for sure...Kudos to Mike for inviting you both and allowing you to film and share... Great episode!!! 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍
How awesome of Mike to have you two on board and for showing the rest of us what an amazing and beautiful sailing yacht he captains.
One of the most natural boat tours without the usual hype, never ending lists of toys and statistics; great commentry Nikki. Good camera angles showing the clean lines and the raw power under sail, that allowed the beauty of this yacht to speak for itself. A skipper who has been with the vessel for that length of time speaks volumes. Many thanks Mike.
That was just spectacular, and thoroughly entertaining, well done! Jason and Nikki weave some sort of magic, I'll normally never watch a boat tour, but loved this. Wonderful - thanks also to the Skipper and all crew aboard, 👍👏👏👏.
Well kept by a professional crew. Beautiful lines. That will sell easily.
It's refreshing to see two people who like each other so much. You're both amazing! Thanks!
Wow, absolutely stunning yacht, thank you for showing all of us!
Feeling the lean in style! 🌬⛵️ Thanks for sharing.
Thank you captain Mike. Beauty of a ship, bit big to call a boat. Just beautiful. Would love a spot of sailing her myself, but alas, not to be. Thank you so very much assisting Jason and nikki the chance to share this with us.
What a beautiful mechanical work of art!! Thanks for the tour!!❤
Oh yeah it’s the Wynns!
So amazing. Your video editing has gotten so beautiful over the years. Loving it.
A magnificent boat, wonderfully skippered and run, then the Wynn's charming skill of presenting it to a delightful balance with reality.
Thanks so much for this epic video! You were both beaming from ear to ear the whole time! I’ve only ever sailed mono hulls, but the biggest was ‘only’ 41 foot! I can only imagine how fun this must have been.
I think i like this video of all your boat tours! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. For most people, sailing on a yacht like Destination is only a dream. I’m in awe of...... absolutely everything about it. Incredibly exciting just to see what you saw during your time aboard. Thanks again for sharing your adventure and I look forward to seeing you again soon. 🙂🐿🌈❤️
How much time until we can expect you guys to get your boat, we love your adventures
In real time, I think they'll be in possession before the end of the year, maybe even right now. In video time? Maybe a month after that?
They were hoping for delivery at the end of October, but the sea trials for hull #1 (vid coming this Sunday!) revealed a few things that need tweaking, so we have another delay. This is absolutely normal for any new design and it's the risk you take when you're one of the first in a new series. The launch should happen before the end of the year though. Stay tuned for the latest! Curious Minion
As always thank you for sharing your adventures and journey! Look forward to seeing you next week.
Beautiful yacht and what a nice crew, especially Captain Mike! Thanks everybody Jason and Nikki, what a treat!
Wow! That is one hell of a boat she is beautiful. Thank you all for sharing.
Thoroughly enjoyed this vid. Awesome camera work and super crisp sound. Envy your over the top adventures.
Ok im back to the end of the video, after the extreme beautiful tour. The attention to detail, and art work is so so beautiful! What a ship!❤ Thank you dearly Jason and Nikki for bringing us along! Thank you Mike and crew for having us! What a beautiful Gem! Not sure i caught her name?
I don't know who edited this one, But it took me along with you as it felt. The sound, angle, hell I even opened my back door added the breeze for affect... WOW The brown emperador marble vanity tops & anchor was a surprise. No stern LRB how you get off call a taxi .. Great work guys...
Great episode. What a beautiful boat. They all seem like great humans and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing
Wow! What a fantastic boat. Great video.
One of your best episodes yet. A lot of fun and OMG what a boat…😊
What a great privilege to be aboard this beautiful yacht and experience your time aboard with the captain and crew. Thanks for the wonderful presentation. Cheers from NZ.
#teamJason approves of the use of a dual dishwasher.
Yachting is salve for the soul.... putting life and limb on the line is like flying a plane on one wing and a prayer....stay safe and may safe seas and wind reach you all to your destination.... keep sailing ❤
So much fun just to watch! I miss sailing ⛵️
Your video is always the first KZhead video I like to watch on Sunday mornings. What an amazing video this week!😅
Nothing like an Alloy or Perini Navi for sailing, poetry on water. DESTINATION is able to sail leisurely like going on a Sunday stroll or turn into a Greyhound for the regattas. What is not to love about this yacht. Mike and the crew do an outstanding job sailing her and keeping her in tip top condition.
It was fun watching you see what opulent sailing is like, Thanks for bringing us along!
Boy, you guys have sure found some fun ways to pass the time waiting for your new boat.
I enjoyed this video. Can't wait until you two get your new boat and are sailing around in the tropics again. Happy sailing, Swimbo.
what a beautiful vessel, thank you for the glimpse into it
Stunningly Magical thank you Jason Nikki Captain Mike and Crew ❤
Amazing boat! So nice to see a luxury yacht that's for sailing rather than motoring. You two really captured the thrill and awe of sailing such a large vessel! Great video!
Now this beautiful video and the joyful laughs got me out of my Sunday morning funk! Thanks Wynn’s
WOW, that is an incredible beautiful and looks to be a very functional boat.
A Great way to start Sunday morning. Thanks
After all of the years of boating, it’s so cool to see you still get giddy while on the water
This has got to be one of the most amazing sail boats ever built. Its beautiful fir every pov
I’ve never seen a saloon on a yacht that makes me say ‘oh, I would love to spend time there’ until this one! It looks perfectly comfortable. How marvelous. Thanks for taking the time to share her.
And I can remember an episode where you said that someday someone will pull into your anchorage with a giant like this and invite you onboard... Let alone sail it like that. Awesome
Love your videos! Always fun and informative.
Magical, a truly magical video guys! Hearing you laughing as great sheets of water are effortlessly tossed aside some how made me feel really emotional, that is a true dream to part of that world. What a beautiful boat and amazing experience for you to share with us. Great video in every way (shot, sound, music, editing, narrative) guys, really SPOT ON ❤
These yachts are a marvel of human ingenuity, I would love to stand a watch or 3 on the helm... Cheers Rustie.
You guys are truly Blessed 👍. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Absolutely unbelievable! What a beautiful lady! She is a stunning ship. Thanks guys! Can’t wait to see Curiosity II in the pond soon.
Wow... amazing condition for its age and doesn't seem dated or out of date tech-wise. While definitely not cheap, it also doesn't seem overpriced.
"Freezer's in the floor". [Nikki] 😯 Oh, okay!. 😁 I don't know, I think This might be The Most Gorgeous Superyacht I have Ever seen.
Wow that must have been really exciting, looks so graceful.
Breathless! What a beauty! And the double entendres were delicious, too!
What a stunningly beautiful ship.
