Sail with us across the Atlantic. The crossing begins on the Atlantic islands, the Azores, takes us eastward straight to our destination on the spanish coast, Vigo. The crossing is about 1,100 nautical miles, with weather conditions, currents, and waves determining our speed. CHARTER AGREEMENT Each participant is responsible for their own travel arrangements, accommodation, and meals. The crew consists of professional sailors from our team who have expertise in the VO65 and will provide instruction on the boat, as well as international professional sailors and some clients. The entire crew will be divided into shifts at the beginning, so sleeping and sailing on deck will be done in shifts. Life jackets with AIS transponders are available on board. We would like to reiterate that we are powerless against unforeseen circumstances. In the event of serious damage to the ship or weather forecasts that make it impossible for us to set sail (danger to people and ship), we cannot refund the costs of missed flights, transfers, or regattas. We recommend allowing at least one extra day for your return journey. Furthermore, we advise taking out travel cancellation insurance, as short-notice changes can occur during these uncertain times. The catering (organized by us), marina mooring fee and diesel (i.e. all onboard expenses) are already included in the ticket price. Alcohol is strictly prohibited on board. When entering or transiting through other countries, please note that you may need visas, ESTA, residence permits, medical certificates, etc. Please note: Changes and postponements may occur. Therefore, we ask you to wait to book accommodations, flights, etc., until you receive final confirmation from us, so that cancellations and postponements can be avoided.
I great snapshot of transatlantic sailing for those who don't have the time to cross a full ocean.

This is not a passenger trip. It’s a fully immersive offshore sailing experience. You’ll join the crew of VO65 Sisi, a pure-bred ocean racing yacht . These 65-foot carbon race machines were designed to cross oceans at speed in extreme conditions, and there are only a handful of them in existence. Life on board is exactly what you would expect from a professional race yacht: functional, stripped-back and focused entirely on performance. There’s no luxury interior here, just pipe cots, navigation stations and a deck built for constant sail handling and teamwork. Every person on board becomes part of the crew. You’ll rotate through watch systems, trimming sails, grinding, navigating, helming and managing sail changes alongside an experienced professional team. The boat’s powerful sail plan and canting-keel design mean exhilarating speeds and demanding manoeuvres as the crew pushes hard through the Atlantic Ocean. Expect long watches, sailing through the day and night toward our destination, big sail changes, adrenaline-fuelled helming, and the kind of teamwork that only offshore sailing produces. For many sailors, this is as close as it gets to the experience of an Ocean Race.
