Our adventure begins on December 1st in Gran Canaria. After boarding, a safety briefing, and provisioning, we use the time to prepare and get to know the crew. As soon as everything is ready, we set sail and head south for the Cape Verde Islands. Depending on the weather and crew, we may make a stopover in Mindelo on São Vicente—a perfect opportunity for a shore leave, fresh supplies, and a technical check. We then set course for Martinique. We spend the next two to three weeks at sea: keeping watch, trimming sails, navigating, observing the weather, cooking together, and engaging in heart-to-heart conversations in the cockpit. At night, the stars shine like nowhere else; during the day, we are often accompanied by dolphins or flying fish. Life on board is characterized by team spirit, mutual support, and the shared goal of arriving safely and happily in the Caribbean. After approximately 2,800 nautical miles, we arrive in Le Marin—a place full of Caribbean joie de vivre, French culture, and a perfect infrastructure for sailors.
Our Galini is cruising the world – and you can be part of it! With us, you're not an anonymous guest on a standard itinerary, but part of a real crew discovering new horizons together. We're not a classic charter company that runs the same tour every week. Instead, we sail together, experience true boating life, and embrace the adventures the sea has in store for us.
Climb aboard a beautifully equipped, lovingly maintained boat and enjoy something special: Nothing is off-the-shelf with us. Every trip is unique – sometimes spontaneous, sometimes planned, always full of surprises. Unplanned experiences are just as much a part of it as relaxing days on deck.
Want more than just a sail? We'll take care of the technical aspects of the onboard, and you can get involved yourself if you'd like. You can also turn this vacation cruise into a true long-distance yacht experience and become part of life at sea.
Our trips combine vacation, adventure, mindfulness, and authentic boating. Become part of our crew and experience a special time on Galini – authentic, communal, and full of adventure.
Wind & Climate
In December, conditions on the classic trade wind route are ideal: The trade winds usually blow steadily from the northeast at 4–6 Beaufort (15–25 knots). Temperatures range from 24–30°C during the day and remain pleasantly warm at night. The water, at 25–27°C, is perfect for swimming, and the air is usually dry and clear. The Atlantic presents itself with long, gentle swells (1–3 m). Rain is rare and usually short-lived. The nights are clear and offer ideal conditions for astronavigation and stargazing.

Our GALINI is a modern, fast, and comfortable Hanse 575 with four double cabins and a skipper's cabin—each with its own bathroom and electric toilet. Wi-Fi via Starlink, multimedia, air conditioning, a generator (220 V/7 kW), a washing machine, a bread maker, a Nespresso machine, large solar panels, radar, AIS, a watermaker, a hydraulic bathing platform, and a dinghy with an electric motor ensure self-sufficiency and comfort. The yacht is equipped for the highest levels of safety, design, and performance—developed by Volvo Ocean Racers, making it the fastest yacht in its class. Sailing fun guaranteed!
GALINI has already successfully participated in the ARC and meets all safety requirements of this international Atlantic regatta.
