Atlantic crossing west to east 2024
April - May 2024

About Atlantic crossing west to east

We’ll start from Martinique on April 25th, setting course for the Azores. We’ll spend a few days exploring the islands, and then we’ll continue to Cherbourg.

When leaving Fort-de France, we have the option to sail either the traditional route, going north to round the Azores high pressure, or the alternative route going first east and later crossing the azores high. We estimate the trip to the Azores to take almost three weeks. We’ll spend around a week on the Azores, visiting some of the islands. Then on May 19th, we set sails towards Cherbourg, France, and we expect the trip to take around one and a half weeks.

You are invited to join us as crew members, either for the full trip or parts thereof, taking responsibility for watchkeeping and assisting with sailing the yacht.
