Janis and Blaine Carmena spent five years renovating a 78ft abandoned superyacht named Tangaroa, using eBay finds and countless hours of labor. The vessel, plagued by termites and marine growth, required extensive repairs and upgrades, including a complete engine swap for a state-of-the-art electric setup. The couple plans to embark on a permanent journey, leaving their land-dwelling son behind.
