Get ready for the great adventure of blue water sailing – an Atlantic crossing from west to east on our fast Hanse 575!

Together we'll set sail from St. Maarten with stops in Bermuda, the Azores, and Lisbon. Our destination and crowning climax is Málaga, Spain. We'll sail the classic northern route with challenging navigation, experiencing real ocean crossings, night sailing, team spirit, and the intense onboard life of an ocean-experienced Atlantic crew.
We're currently in the planning phase and are looking for crew members who are a good fit, not just in terms of sailing skills but also on a personal level. It's very important to us that the group on board truly fits together – that's why we conduct personal interviews with all interested parties.

Our yacht successfully completed the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) last year and meets all safety requirements of this prestigious regatta. This means it is equipped and tested for the crossing according to the highest international standards.

Highlights
St. Maarten: Start in the lively island harbor, final preparations and crew briefing
Bermuda: Legendary stopover in the Atlantic, shore leave and resupply in Hamilton
Azores: Ocean island with European flair, breathtaking stopover after a long passage
Lisbon: Atlantic metropolis and springboard to the European mainland
Málaga: Destination on Spain's Costa del Sol, relaxing end
Total distance: Over 3,500 nautical miles of true blue water sailing in changing weather conditions
Navigation and on-board routine: Atlantic routing according to weather forecast, trade wind and westerly wind conditions, starry nights, sunsets in the middle of the ocean
Experiences: Dolphins, whales and flying fish – the unique ocean fauna accompanies us regularly

Our route
We depart from St. Maarten in the Caribbean. After a brief acclimatization period, we sail toward Bermuda – the famous classic stop for the Northbound Atlantic crossing. We then head directly for the Azores, landing on one of the beautiful Atlantic islands. After resupply and a short shore leave, we set sail for Lisbon and experience mainland Europe from a maritime perspective.

The final leg takes us along the Portuguese coast to Málaga in Spain, where we celebrate our journey and say goodbye to the crew.

Experience navigation, night sailing, the unique life on board and shared adventures on real blue water sailing.

  • Plan
    Our adventure begins on April 4, 2026, on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten.

    After boarding, receiving a safety briefing and preparing provisions together, we use the first few hours to make final preparations and get to know the crew.
    Once everything is ready, we set sail north to Bermuda. This legendary stopover offers the opportunity for shore excursions, restocking, and a comprehensive technical check—always subject to the weather and the crew's wishes.

    From Bermuda, we set course for the Azores. During the following crossing, we experience true blue water sailing: keeping watches, trimming sails, navigating, weather observation, cooking together, and intense conversations in the cockpit characterize the two to three weeks at sea. Starlit nights, the play of dolphins, or the appearance of flying fish provide special moments. Life on board is characterized by team spirit, mutual support, and the shared goal: reaching Europe safely and happily.

    After landing in the Azores, the next leg takes us to Lisbon – here we breathe European harbor air, enjoy shore excursions, and experience Portuguese flair. Finally, the final leg takes us along the coast to our destination port of Málaga. After a total of over 3,500 nautical miles, we celebrate the conclusion of our journey on Spain's sunny coast.

    What is special about our trip
    Our yacht isn't just a charter boat for the masses—you'll be part of a real crew exploring new horizons and creating an unforgettable adventure together. We don't sail a standard weekly itinerary; instead, we experience authentic long-distance cruising and embrace everything the sea has in store.

    Every trip is unique: sometimes spontaneous, sometimes fully planned, always full of surprises. The focus is on working together, experiencing technology, mutual support, and experiences that go beyond a simple vacation.

    You want to do more than just be there?
    You can actively participate in all areas of life on board: technology, navigation, sailing maneuvers, provisioning, or simply experience the real “boat life” on an ocean cruiser.

    Yacht & Equipment
    Our modern and comfortable Hanse 575 awaits you with four double cabins and a skipper's cabin—each with its own bathroom and electric toilet. Comfort and self-sufficiency are ensured by:
    Fast, safe design inspired by Volvo Ocean Racers
    Wi-Fi via Starlink, multimedia system, air conditioning, generator (220 V/7 kW), washing machine, bread maker, Nespresso machine, large solar panels
    Radar, AIS, watermaker, hydraulic bathing platform, dinghy with electric motor.
    Our yacht has successfully participated in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) and meets all international safety requirements.

    Sustainability & Crew Spirit
    We focus on sustainable sailing and test innovative onboard products to make the sailing experience as environmentally friendly as possible – without sacrificing comfort.
    Our small crew of experienced skippers looks forward to experiencing the real adventure at sea with you.

    Wind & Climate on the move
    In April, we can expect mostly stable winds, pleasant temperatures, and an impressive interplay of weather and light on the classic North Atlantic route. Daytime temperatures generally range between 18 and 25°C, and the Atlantic presents itself with long swells and clear air – perfect conditions for challenging yet enjoyable bluewater sailing.
