2025 Uncovered: The Wild, Unscripted Faces of Freedom—Alive and Unapologetically Free
Just finished our last departure of 2025!
Wherever we are in the world, we know that it’s not just about the destination — it’s about who we’re with. From poolside chats and city strolls to lazy rivers and late-night laughs, these snapshots tell the real story of our journeys. They show travelers connecting across generations, soaking up sun and culture, and finding joy in the simplest shared moments — a dip, a drink, a grin, a touch. Whether under palm trees, in a quiet courtyard, or in front of a centuries-old church, these are the faces of freedom, friendship, and fun — the very heart of Everything To Sea.
Censored. Erased. Ignored… Telegram Shut Us Down.
At Everything To Sea, we’ve always been a little too naked for the comfort of corporate overlords. And apparently, “liberation of the male body” is just too scandalous for Instagram, Facebook, and yes—even Telegram. They police our skin, erase our freedom, and pretend men’s bodies are dangerous. We say: that’s exactly why they matter.
Dean and Ray – Reflections on our Boat
When you put a group of men on a boat for several days with no TV, something magical happens: conversations turn into adventures of their own. That’s exactly what unfolded when co-founder Dave sat down with Ray and Dean, a couple celebrating both twenty years together and a milestone birthday, during our Everything To Sea cruise. What started as a chat about what kind of “show” this trip would be (spoiler: White Lotus, but without the deaths) turned into reflections on naked firsts, unexpected camaraderie, and the kind of mental photos you can’t capture on an iPhone.
Turns Out, Stripping Down Might Lift You Up
We’ve always said that there’s something liberating about being naked with others—beyond the sun on your skin or the salt in your hair. Now, research backs that up. Check out this Psychology Today article, which explored a study on what unfolds when strangers shed not only their clothes—but also their insecurities. Turns out, sharing space in the nude might actually change how you see yourself—in the best possible way.
Me, Suddenly Exposed: The Clothed Male / Naked Male Kink
There’s something undeniably electric about being the only naked one in the room. It’s not just about nudity—it’s about contrast, vulnerability, power, curiosity… and sometimes, arousal. An article we found on deviantart.com (slightly edited for readability) dives deep into CMNM—Clothed Male / Naked Male. It’s a fascinating dynamic where layers of clothing reveal much more than they hide. Whether playful, accidental, fetishistic, or rooted in long-standing male rituals, CMNM sheds light on the way men connect, challenge, and charge the air between them.
Later, Dude: His Thoughts After Experiencing a Naked Sail
After our sailing season wrapped up last year, we waited a bit and then sent a message to some of the guys on each of our sails. The salt had washed off, the tan lines (or lack thereof) faded, and the guys were back in their routines — commuting, parenting, procrastinating, swiping, whatever it is they do.
We decided to check in. Not officially. No feedback forms or follow-up surveys. Just a simple message: “Hey, how’s life post-trip?”
The replies rolled in — honest, weird, beautiful. Here’s a look at what some of them said, completely unfiltered and unmistakably them.
Who’s Right? Who’s Wrong? Who’s Buck-Naked?
In a scenario that sounds straight out of a reality‑TV bizarre‑roommate saga, a 27‑year‑old woman from Reddit’s “Am I the A**hole” thread found herself at odds with her 23‑year‑old brother after he moved in rent‑free — and promptly made himself comfortable by stripping down sofa‑style. He declared himself a nudist, arguing that clothes indoors were unnecessary, while she insisted her apartment, her furniture, and her sanity required boundaries. Reddit exploded in support of her stance: yes to nudist lifestyle, no to full frontal on the loveseat. This story, originally reported by Indy100, highlights a classic clash of personal freedom versus shared‑space consent.
Meet Another Everything To Sea Traveler! Tony Lobo
Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of sailing with interesting men from all walks of life, and Tony is no exception. He’s a veterinarian by day, and a Dom, escort, and porn star by night. Tony inspired us with his unique, personal stories while sailing with us. We’d like to highlight Tony in this post as part of our blog series called “Meet Another Everything To Sea Traveler.”
The Canary Islands Best Kept Secrets: Reach New Naked Heights with Rafael, our Hiking Guide
After interviewing an Everything To Sea traveler in one of our recent blog posts, we thought we’d continue the fun, so we interviewed someone who handles one of our “Off-The-Beaten-Path Activities.” Meet Rafael—our cheeky Naked Hiking Guide for The Naked Canary Islands Villa. He’s ready to show you the best of Gran Canaria, all while embracing the freedom of naked hiking. In this chat, he shares his journey into bare-adventure and tips for a fun, carefree island experience.
Now Nudism Might Survive in a Social Media-Driven World
Our Designer of Dreams, Jacob, recently came across this article by Gen Z nudist Alex, on the excellent blog Planet Nude. The piece got us thinking hard about the future of the nudist community. If younger generations are the future, don’t nudist practices rest significantly in the hands of Generation Z? In theory, they will influence the evolution of naturism. Read this interesting piece to understand how Alex sees it.
Meet an Everything To Sea Traveler: Andrew spills tunes and beans on The Naked Thai Villa trip
We had the pleasure of welcoming Andrew to The Naked Thai Villa two weeks ago. The man is an actor, board game aficionado, and all-around great company. Originally from Canada but now based in Beijing, he kept the group entertained with music, crafty skills, and lively conversation. In this discussion with him on the last day of the trip, we dove into topics like body positivity and human connection, and he even shared some top tips for Everything To Sea newbies.

Meet an Everything To Sea Traveler: Richard Talks Nudity, Bonding, and Living Life in the Moment
Sitting in Komodo National Park during The Spectacular Naked Sail, Group Leaders Lenny and Dave had the pleasure of chatting with Richard about his experience so far.
Ashamed to Admit You’re a Nudist?
Are you curious about nudism, but concerned that you’ll be judged negatively? Shame can be a powerful deterrent to nudism. At Everything To Sea, we believe that there’s a deeper purpose to shedding off clothes: Being naked is a way to practice self-acceptance. There comes a time when we have to question from where shame around nudity stems. Also, who or what perpetuates it… and why? Some of these answers are candidly expressed, in an article we found on British Naturism.
The 5 Types of Male Travelers
We recently were buzzing around Quora.com killing some time, and found this lightbulb joke (we love lightbulb jokes!)
He Likes Naked Sailing with Other Guys… Is He Gay?
“Help! My Husband Enjoys Sailing Naked and Drinking Beers With Gay Men. What do you think this could mean?”
We found the above question in the advice column known as “Dear Prudence” in Slate Magazine. Check out the full query, below… and Prudence’s response, afterwards:
Nudity and the Fullness of Manhood
Have you ever wondered why guys avoid being naked in locker rooms? Is it about society’s rules? How we’re raised? Perhaps, a sign of the changing times? Check out this article we found on the subject – edited for brevity – by Kevin Frye on medium.com.
