Crossing the Atlantic by catamaran from Cape Verde to Martinique

Cape Verde-Martinique Atlantic Crossing | Elba 45 Catamaran — First round the world stage.

If you are looking for the pure essence of the ocean, this is your stage. We will depart from the volcanic archipelago of Cape Verde to sail more than 2,000 miles to Martinique, following the route of the trade winds that for centuries has linked Africa with America. This is a non-stop journey, with continuous days and nights on the open sea, where the ship becomes our entire world.

You will be part of the first stage of the trip around the world on a catamaran, a project that will cover thousands of miles and explore all the oceans. You'll experience the slow but intense pace of life on board: sunrises that illuminate an infinite horizon, star-studded night skies, the constant sound of waves and wind, and the satisfaction of knowing that every mile brings us closer to the Caribbean.

The Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 is a modern, fast and safe boat, ideal for tackling this journey. Its stability and generous spaces make living together comfortable, while its navigation and safety equipment allow us to face the ocean with confidence.

Who is this trip for?

For sailors and dreamers who want to complete an Atlantic crossing and live the life of an ocean crew member. No previous experience is needed: the captain and crew will teach you everything you need, from performing a night guard to interpreting the weather.

It has several advantages that make it an excellent option if you are looking for an experience on a spacious and comfortable boat. Write down why this is your best option:

- Ample living space: The Elba 45 boasts a large amount of living space both inside and out. Its double-hull design allows for larger, more comfortable common areas for passengers to enjoy.

- Comfort and stability: The design of the Elba 45 allows for greater comfort and stability compared to other types of boats which reduces the amount of rolling at sea.
