The Family Behind the Anchor.
We’re Matt and Natalia, a family of five living our best coastal life in sunny Tampa Bay. Since 2018, we’ve embraced a lifestyle filled with adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable memories on the water.
Matt’s lifelong passion for boating started on the lakes of New Hampshire and has evolved into a love for exploring Florida’s Gulf Coast.

We're here to share that passion—whether it’s helping families experience the joy of boating, curating the best coastal finds, or offering the perfect waterfront getaway at our Airbnb.
Our goal is to bring you valuable insights, inspiration, and resources while we share a piece of our coastal lifesytle with you.
So, drop anchor with us, explore, and make memories that last a lifetime!

Let Us Share Our Passion
At The Anchored Life, we believe life is better by the water. Whether it’s a day on the boat, a relaxing stay at our waterfront Airbnb, or finding the perfect coastal gear, we’re here to share our passion for the Gulf Coast lifestyle. From boating adventures to sandy getaways, let us help you create unforgettable moments on the water.

The best way to explore the beauty of Florida's Gulf Coast is on the water! Boat ownership isn't for the faint of heart; let us share the experience with you on our 27' Sea Hunt Ultra. Built for comfort and perfect for family outings or a day with a group of friends!
