Atlantic crossing Canary Islands - Cape Verde

⛵ Atlantic Crossing: Canary Islands — Cape Verde — Martinique

Real ocean sailing, in good company and without haste

If you are attracted to deep-sea sailing and you dream of truly crossing the Atlantic, this may be your chance. It is not an ordinary charter or a trip organized in detail. It is a shared, authentic journey, on a prepared sailboat with a life of its own.

The boat is my home, where I live all year round. It's ready for the ocean: safe, comfortable and adapted for long distances. The spirit on board is relaxed and respectful. We sail calmly, enjoying the sea, the wind and the simple life on board.

⚓ Expected route:

Canary Islands → Cape Verde (~6—8 days)

Stopover in Mindelo (rest, replenishment)

Cape Verde → Martinique (~16—18 days)

Estimated total: 2,500—3,000 nautical miles

On board:

Coexistence is natural. If you want to participate in the guards, collaborate in maneuvers or tasks on board, perfect. If you prefer to relax and enjoy the cruise, that's okay either: I'm used to sailing alone.

You don't have to be a sea wolf. Only respect, openness and the desire to truly experience the ocean are valued.
