This trip connects São Miguel in the Azores with Funchal in Madeira on a nonstop Atlantic crossing of roughly 550 nautical miles.
With no scheduled ports of call, the experience is defined entirely by the ocean itself — the movement of the ship, the prevailing winds, and the ever-changing character of the Atlantic. Designed for those who enjoy true offshore sailing, this passage offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from routines, timetables, and crowded destinations.
Life aboard settles into the steady rhythm of an ocean voyage: shared meals with fellow travellers, quiet hours on deck, endless horizons, and sunsets that stretch across the open sea. Guests are welcome to observe daily operations and, when conditions allow, participate in aspects of sailing under the guidance of the professional crew.
September generally brings favourable sailing conditions in this part of the Atlantic, creating an ideal setting for a comfortable blue-water passage. As the ship gradually heads south, the climate softens and the air grows warmer until, after days surrounded only by sea and sky, the green mountains of Madeira emerge on the horizon — a memorable arrival after an authentic ocean crossing.
This journey is created for travellers who appreciate the essentials of life at sea: wind, water, simplicity, and the timeless experience of sailing offshore.
