Transatlantic
Cross an ocean
Two crossings a year · ARC participation · Chef on board · From €8,000 per person
The crossing
Twenty days at sea, more or less. Watches around the clock, meals at all hours, sleep when you can. The boat keeps going.
We sail with a chef on board — proper food, not freezer rations. Starlink for weather and the people who need to be reachable; we'll give you the passphrase. The autumn crossing joins the ARC out of the Canaries — a fleet of two hundred boats heading west together.
This isn't a cruise. It's open ocean and a small crew. We sail her hard when she asks for it, and quietly when she doesn't. If you've never crossed, this is a good first one. If you have, you'll know what you're getting.
The skipper has crossed three times.

What it's really like
Watches, supervised
You take watches too — always with the skipper or mate, on a rota set by how many are aboard. You learn to sleep when you can.
Starlink, with a passphrase
Connectivity exists but it's rationed. The point is to leave the world for a while. Family knows how to reach us.
A chef at sea
Proper meals every day, even in 4-metre swell. Cooked from scratch, no foil pouches.
Close quarters
Up to twelve guests, and nowhere to step off for twenty days. The boat is the boat. Bring patience and a few books.
Who comes aboard & what's included
Who comes aboard
No experience needed.
But: a stomach for the sea, a tolerance for close quarters, and a real curiosity for the crossing itself. Not a holiday in the cruise sense.
What's included
Crew (skipper, mate, chef). Berth in a shared cabin. All meals and drinks on board. Foul-weather gear. Wi-Fi via Starlink (rationed). Port fees at start and end. ARC entry on the autumn crossing.
