Spring is an excellent time to sail like this, thanks to the stable winds and long days of daylight. We will cross the long ocean waves, discovering the surprising marine fauna that inhabits these waters.
We will make the crossing in a 22-meter-long steel ketch. A spacious, safe, solid and easy-to-navigate boat. With space for 10 passengers, it allows you to spend the night in comfortable cabins.
On board there will be an experienced captain and a first officer, both bilingual (English and Spanish at least), so that there is always someone on duty.
On board we will teach (to all those who dare) the profession of navigator, with the possibility of certifying your knowledge with the RYA Competent Crew, Watch Leader and Navigation & Seamaship titles. There will also be classes in astronomical navigation and the possibility of doing the miles necessary for the Yacht Master Offshore, Yacht Master Ocean and PPER titles.
This is a trip for active travelers, we sail together on this boat. No sailing experience is required, but an active and open attitude is. We teach you everything you need to know along the way, from sailing to steering the boat, and you will disembark like an old sea dog.
Naturally, there will also be plenty of time to relax, read a book and have stimulating conversations with fellow passengers. We sail into the night and everyone on board is assigned watches. This way, we can continue sailing and everyone on board the ship will have enough time to rest, eat and sleep as well as sail. However, nights at sea are magical. Due to the complete lack of light pollution, you are not just stargazing – you can see the entire Milky Way spread out before you.
Arriving at port after a long sea voyage is an experience like no other. Try walking upright with those newly acquired sea legs!
