Ocean sailing trip Cuxhaven – Faroe Islands

Experience an extraordinary offshore passage from the German North Sea coast to the rugged and fascinating island world of the Faroe Islands. This mile-building trip takes us from Cuxhaven out onto the North Sea, past the Shetland Islands and deep into the North Atlantic – where sailing still means real adventure.
Over several demanding legs we collect valuable nautical miles, experience watch-keeping round the clock and master together the challenges of long offshore passages. Wind, weather and tides determine our rhythm as we set course for one of Europe's most spectacular island groups.
The Faroe Islands welcome us with dramatic cliffs, deep fjords, green mountain slopes and small, colourful villages. Hardly any other sailing area combines impressive nature, solitude and seafaring tradition as strikingly as these islands in the North Atlantic.
This trip is aimed at sailors who want not only to collect miles but to experience genuine offshore sailing. You are an active part of the crew and take on tasks in navigation, sail handling, watch-keeping and manoeuvres. Together we tackle long passages, night sailing and changing weather conditions.
What awaits you:
- Challenging offshore sailing on the North Sea and North Atlantic
- Valuable nautical miles for experience and licence evidence
- Active participation in navigation, sail handling and watch system
- Multi-day offshore passages with night sailing
- Impressive nature and wildlife observation
- The unique island world of the Faroe Islands as destination

Who is the trip suitable for?
For ambitious sailors and adventurers who want to gain offshore experience. Sailing knowledge is an advantage but not essential. Important are team spirit, resilience and the enjoyment of being an active part of a crew.
Collect miles, collect experience and feel the freedom of the North Atlantic – on a sailing trip that is far more than just the journey to a destination.
