Ready to Launch
We help you raise resilient kids who are ready to launch and thrive as young adults.
Meet Erik + Emily Orton
We went from broke to bootstrapping life aboard a sailboat in the Caribbean for a year with our five children. We are authors of the New York Times Top 10 Travel Book Seven at Sea. We teach, write and speak about how to create unforgettable memories with your kids before they leave home. We coach moms and dads on how to live your best lives and inspire your kids to do the same. Family first doesn't mean mom and dad last.

Get Inspired
Read (or listen) to our story, Seven at Sea. We went from broke to bootstrapping life aboard a sailboat in the Caribbean with our five children. We share how we connected with our kids, rallied around a better story and worked as a team to move our dreams from concept to concrete.
