Ashley Cates

Spring has sprung! This beautiful weather makes me want to get outside and set sail! If you are interested in spending more time on the water with your friends and family, let’s chat! It’s never too early or too late to add more fun and adventure to your life!

Doing walkthrough videos = scary. Having your photo taken beside the beautiful boat = not so bad. I would seriously love your feedback on my first video (link in bio). I’m interested in what matters most to you when you’re purchasing a boat. What would you like to see more of. I’ll incorporate the feedback in the next walkthrough! Thanks, have a sunny day, and get out on the water if you can!!!

Welcome to the first ever #AshleysBeneteauWalkthrough First of all, if you’re wondering what’s the best way to feel super vulnerable, throw yourself into a brand new career and have someone film you while you’re trying to perfect your knowledge of a brand new boat! Secondly, to watch the full video and subscribe to my YouTube channel, click here- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0D4s7UujK9U&t=11s! And finally, it may be fun to play a little game where you drink every time I say the word cocktail

Let’s be real, I’m not the tallest person in the world But I don’t care how vertically blessed you may be, this boat is incredibly spacious and cozy! The Beneteau Oceanis 55 is one of the most special boats I’ve been on to date. A marriage of European design- elegance and sleekness- with total comfort and class! Available now at @southcoastyachts @ Sunroad Resort Marina

Taking the sea-nic route

How do you know? How can you be sure you are exactly where you’re supposed to be? I’ve asked myself this question a lot, especially over the past few years. There have been times where something just didn’t feel right, times when I didn’t feel I was fully living in my purpose. Do you know what I mean? I’ve been lucky in that when I’ve felt things weren’t right, I’ve been able to adjust and change course, change cities, change careers, change EVERYTHING really. This has been l...iberating, empowering and terrifying EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. And now, I have realized, I haven’t just been lucky, I’ve been incredibly brave and endlessly blessed. My most recent endeavors and what’s on the horizon have me inspired to share something I read many years ago and constantly see in action: when you can’t change the direction of the wind, you should adjust your sails. Make bold moves, be fearless, be scared, be YOU! And you’ll likely end up exactly where you need to be See more
