Wow! This activity has already received 58 visits this week

I invite you to live this unique experience, in which we will leave Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to reach the island of Martinique after crossing the Atlantic by boat.
We sail on a 13-meter sailboat from the famous Dufour Gibsea 43 shipyard, ocean category. It has 4 double cabins, two bathrooms with hot water, kitchen, etc. It is powered by 400w of solar panels that will give us all the electricity we need for the instrumentation as well as our needs.
I am Asier, professional captain and Yachtmaster by the RYA (English qualification). More than 20 years sailing. I have lived on the boat for 10 years.

Plan

We will meet at the Las Palmas marina to get to know each other, plan the journey, talk about safety and buy food for everyone. The journey will begin 4 days later in the company of the 200 sailboats that set sail with the ARC.
The arrival will be in Martinique approximately between 20 and 25 days after having set sail.
Once there, depending on the weather, we will anchor or take port. The price includes a week of boarding once we have arrived and we will try to see Santa Lucia and a nearby island if the weather is good.
The disembarkation will be a week after arriving in the Caribbean and we will leave you in Martinique, where you have many flights available.
