About Us

We are Roxy & Phil - Two Americans who have been living aboard a sailing boat since 2018 and now call Ankorya our part-time home. How on earth did we end up in Cornwall, you ask?

In 2020, we sailed across the North Atlantic ocean from Cape Cod, Massachusetts to the UK aboard our 47ft boat "Sonder." After spending the next year sailing and exploring the Hebrides in Scotland and the south coast of England, we absolutely fell in love with Cornwall.

In 2022 we stumbled upon the opportunity to purchase this chalet at the perfect moment. A special place for us to slow down and unwind from time-to-time, a place for us to be grounded on land. We named it Ankorya and set to work DIY refurbishing the interior and building a power system to operate on solar panels and lithium batteries, much like our boat does.

We are absolutely delighted to be able to seasonally share our little hideaway home with others when we are back aboard our boat - We hope you enjoy your time at Ankorya and feel the same sense of overwhelming peace and tranquility that we do here. Welcome!

P.S - Feel free to come say "Hi" and see where in the world we're sailing by visiting our instagram page @SailingSonder or @AnkoryaCornwall
