Join an Instructional Passage, and become an offshore voyager!

Sail unforgettably adventurous passages to and from Bermuda and the Virgin Islands aboard fantastic yachts such as the Hylas 54 and Baltic 47. Develop the essential techniques required for safe passagemaking, and discover the fundamental seamanship skills that make passages successful through a Bluewater Miles professional coach.  Each coach is certified as a US Sailing instructor, seasoned with years of teaching experience and thousands of offshore miles. 

Experience the adventure!

Every Bluewater Miles day is an educational one. Each morning, weather permitting, we work at techniques or discuss cruising topics that include such things as sail trim, reefing, sail repair and marlinespike seamanship, weather, celestial, coastal and electronic navigation, alternative steering, crew-overboard recovery and diesel engines. Crew members rotate positions each day, and practice fundamental rules of safety at sea, as well as water and fuel conservation. Captain's dinners punctuate the beginning and end of passages, and with any luck, you'll enjoy some dorado sushi or tuna burritos along the way.  Mementos, a CD full of photos, a USCG document of sea time, a detailed letter of accomplishment, and a well-earned landfall insure that you’ll never forget the Bluewater Miles adventure. When it comes to ocean voyaging, accomplishment is measured in nautical miles. Log well over a hundred miles a day, with Neptune’s permission, and never forget to have fun!

Each passage is limited to 4 sailing crew, which guarantees many productive hours of personalized instruction.  Best of all, Bluewater Miles’ innovative organizational strategy minimizes overhead so you can enjoy quality ocean-voyaging yachts and expert coaching at reasonable rates.  Positions are limited, so call today to sign up for an unforgettable ocean adventure!
