At the end of October 2021, we sailed from Palma de Mallorca to Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The adventurous crew enjoyed fair winds and long Atlantic waves on this trip.

Winter sailing around mythical Greek Islands, exploring traditional windmills in Mykonos & ancient city of Delos. Great crew and island hopping cruising in the Greek paradise of Cyclades.

In the summer 2022 we sailed and explored the Azores archipelago located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The trip was AMAZING!!! Everyone was fantastic. We loved every second of the adventure. The azores is one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen, and we should definitely come back there in the future.

In spring 2022 we sailed from Tenerife to Mallorca. During the ocean passages, the crew experienced high winds and long Atlantic swell. The crew was navigating using astro navigation on the long Atlantic passage from Madeira to Gibraltar.

In this epic route, we sailed almost 5000 NM and faced many challenges, especially at the beginning of the trip where we had to face very strong headwinds and big swell. But everyone was great and the boat was unstoppable so we reached our destination on the other side of the Atlantic with happy faces and a sense of achievement.

A breathtaking and epic sailing trip in the English Channel, where we reveled in the picturesque and challenging tidal sailing area, and bonded with an exceptional crew, making it a truly unforgettable experience of a lifetime.

The Cape Verde islands made a big impression on us. Wonderful people, a great mix of African and Portuguese culture, super year-round weather, great hiking opportunities and incredible nature. We spent 10 days sailing around this beautiful archipelago before making a 9 days passage to the Canaries.

We sailed clockwise around Jutland, exploring iconic seafaring landmarks such as the Kiel Canal, Skagerrak, Kattegat, and the Danish Straits. This stunning region offered both challenging navigation and a broad range of winds. We had a chance to relax under a spinnaker in light winds, as well as experience stronger conditions.

We sailed along the West Portugal and around Galicia coast. There was a mix of offshore and coastal sailing, as well as challanging but rewarding night navigation. We visited charming Portugal towns and Galicia’s magical fjords (Rias). We visited several notorious locations renowned for their challenging weather, such as Finisterre and Muxia.

It was a sporty crossing — the kind that tests both boat and crew. Strong winds howled, the swell rose, and a few stubborn boat issues kept us on our toes. Yet, day by day, we pressed on. And when we finally sighted land on the far side of the Atlantic, we arrived salt-streaked and carrying a hard-won sense of triumph.
