Description

We're sailing from Greifswald on the Baltic Sea to the Canary Islands in autumn 2026 to spend the winter there – and we're looking for motivated crew members who fancy getting to know long-distance sailing, the watch system and life on board, as well as the planning of offshore passages in practice, for one to up to seven weeks. We're sailing on a well-equipped, modern 43-foot yacht. The skipper is an experienced instructor and will gladly teach you everything you still need to become a confident skipper yourself. The trips are ideal for building miles.

The entire voyage will be around 3,000 nautical miles long and last 7 weeks. We sail in one- to two-week legs, covering between 200 and 1,200 nautical miles depending on the sailing area. Each time we call at a pre-determined harbour where a crew change can take place. Sailing is on a modern, ocean-going Beneteau 43 with four cabins.

The route

The individual legs are perfect for mile building. We make long passages and use good weather windows to sail at night as well. Nevertheless, there's enough time for weather-related buffers and occasional stops in beautiful bays or interesting harbours.
