Welcome to Sailing Soulianis
Lauren and Kirk have been together since college in the Midwest and always dreamed of being closer to the ocean. After school they moved to San Diego, California and spent years dreaming of living aboard and seeing the world on their own sailboat. Always up for an adventure, these two decided it was time to make they dream a reality and so in 2017 they bought SV Soulianis, a 1979 Tartan 37′. They began their new boat life in Lake Michigan and have made their way to the warmer waters of the Caribbean and beyond. In September of 2020 they welcomed daughter Renata into the world and in the Summer of 2022 they took on their next sailing adventure, a trailerable trimaran! Kirk and Lauren bought a 2002 Ferrier F9AX and quickly tackled the process of getting her ready for her next ocean adventures.
With a history in the photography business and their quest for adventure, Sailing Soulianis has been able to document and share their incredible journey. Their goal “is to connect with the people we meet wherever our journey leads us, and to help those in need along the way”. Join this young family as they continue their life aboard SV Soulianis!

It's taken us 10 years to finally launch our 2-year sailing plan. Why so long? We had student debt to pay off, we needed to save to buy a boat, and we wanted to figure out how to sustain income once we left the dock.

All About our Tartan 37
How did you decide on the name Soulianis?
We almost bought a catamaran named “Nice Pair” and thought it was perfect, but the punni-ness didn’t work as well on a mono-hull…
In the lead up to closing on our boat, Lauren was reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy . We named our boat after a star in the book that the characters were trying to get to. (CAUTION: Skip the next paragraph to avoid nerdy sci-fi comedy fiction references.)
The twin stars of Soulianis and Rahm lie in the mysteriously-located Horsehead Nebula, which the characters of the book only arrive at with the help of the Infinite Improbability Drive. As it seemed like an infinite improbability we found this particular gem of a boat, naming her Soulianis seemed pretty apt. (By the inter-galactic way, our dingy’s name is Rahm.)
As we were packing things up to move onto the boat, Lauren read a line out loud:
“ Out of the utter blackness stabbed a sudden point of blinding light. It crept up by slight degrees and spread sideways in a thin crescent blade, and within seconds two suns were visible, furnaces of light, searing the black edge of the horizon with white fire. Fierce shafts of color streaked through the thin atmosphere beneath them. “The fires of dawn …!” breathed Zaphod. “The twin suns of Soulianis and Rahm …! ”
We looked at each other and both said “What about Soulianis?!” It was only fitting that our dinghy be named “Rahm.” The rest was history!

The Zarkin Frood. $25. / episode. Zarkin Frood can be used to describe how awesomely cool and towel-conscious a person is, or as a salutation amongst friends: "Hey you zarkin frood! Get over here."
