Sail Loot Podcast 019: Good Anchorage, Get Paid To Cruise

By on March 26, 2015

Captain Dietmar is another true entrepreneur. He and his partners went live with Good Anchorage at the Annapolis Boat Show in October of 2014. He has made his sailing money by starting, growing, and selling businesses. He’s won some, he’s lost some, and he’s found a way to use Good Anchorage to help all boaters make some cruising money with Get Paid To Cruise.

He is also a sailor. Dietmar, his wife, Suzanne, and their dog have sailed their Lagoon 440 from San Diego, across the Pacific, and are currently in Fiji. Along the way, he came up with the idea for Good Anchorage, and has started rolling out Get Paid to Cruise.

We had an awesome conversation about ways to make money while cruising, all of Deitmar’s entrepreneurial endeavors, his sailing resume, and their future sailing plans. Enjoy!

About Teddy

I am a 37 year old that just wants to find a way to make a remote income, gather some Sail Loot and cruise the world! I have been sailing for a couple of years now, but mostly on 10 day trips as vacationing crew. I just recently took sailing to the next level by completing my Basic Keelboat, Basic Cruising, and Bareboat Cruising Certifications! I am also Vice President of a Medical Consulting Company, have a Mechanical Engineering degree from Georgia Tech, and have taken several Coding, Computing, and Online Business courses. It's time to share what I have learned!
