Adventure offered by Iván

10 days
Contact
Crossing from the Canary Islands to Cape Verde across the Atlantic Ocean aboard a sailboat.

This voyage will allow you to experience an ocean adventure, adding miles and gaining experience. Our boat has crossed the Atlantic dozens of times, standing out among its crew for the safety it offers.

On board you will be able to receive nautical guidance from expert RYA instructor skippers, who will assist you with navigation, safety, route plans, life on board, etc. We will go from theory to practice.

En route we will use the usual surveillance system on board: the watches. You will learn how they are organized, dangers and precautions at night and finally how to be a watch leader. There are many miles to cover, we will do daily weather analysis using satellite communications, grib files and direct observation.

The crossing allows you to accumulate miles in tidal waters, for RYA Yachtmaster courses or for the PPER.

After this crossing, we will make the Atlantic crossing from Cape Verde to the Caribbean, which you can also check and book on Sailwiz here.

    Fantastic! In general, an instructor is expected to have knowledge and to be able to transmit it. With him, in addition to all this, it is worth appreciating the passion with which he does it and his constant emphasis on Safety.
