Atlantic crossing on the trade winds from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean, the ultimate transatlantic sailing dream
Nineteen nights across the Atlantic from the Canaries to the Caribbean – a true Atlantic crossing under sail. Carried by the steady trade winds you sail thousands of nautical miles across open sea, day and night in the watch system, far from land and haste. This ocean voyage (transatlantic) is the dream of many sailors: just the ship, the crew, the starry sky and the ocean, until after weeks Sint Maarten appears on the Caribbean horizon.
The Route

19 nights
Sint Maarten
How the route could go:
-
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria · Embarkation
Las Palmas is the capital of Gran Canaria and the largest city in the Canary Islands. The city beach of Las Canteras, the colonial Vegueta quarter and the Casa de Colón recall Christopher Columbus's stay before his Atlantic crossing.
-
Sint Maarten · Disembarkation
Sint Maarten is the Dutch southern half of the Caribbean island of Saint-Martin, shared between two nations. Its capital Philipsburg draws visitors with its long beach, while famous Maho Beach is known for aircraft skimming low overhead.
