This is a true bluewater sailing adventure designed for those wanting hands-on offshore experience aboard a capable cruising yacht.

From the rugged coastline of Devon to the dramatic Spanish and Portuguese Atlantic coast, this voyage combines offshore sailing, coastal exploration, and the challenge of one of Europe’s best-known passages. Expect changing weather, ocean swells, night sailing, wildlife encounters, and the satisfaction of completing a major offshore leg under sail.
Join this proven blue water yacht on a technical boat rewarding passage across the infamous Biscay
UK-based sailing venture focused on offshore passages, coastal exploration, and real-world adventure at sea. Run by a hands-on sailing family, we document and share the realities of life afloat — from passage planning and seamanship to discovering remote anchorages and new coastlines. Our approach is practical, experience-led, and grounded in cruising rather than racing. Whether crossing open water or exploring closer to shore, Ninja Penguin is about building confidence, embracing the elements, and seeing the world from the deck of a boat.
A seriously capable Bowman 57, ambitious routes and a very down-to-earth approach make their trips feel like the sort of sailing people talk about wanting to do, then actually end up doing.
The voyage begins in the historic sailing port of Dartmouth on the River Dart in South Devon. Following final preparations and safety briefings, the yacht departs southbound towards the Bay of Biscay and the Atlantic coast of Europe.
Situated on Portugal’s stunning Atlantic coastline, Porto provides a rewarding landfall after the Biscay crossing and offshore passage south. Known for its historic waterfront, sailing culture, and vibrant atmosphere, Porto marks the successful completion of a challenging and memorable offshore adventure.
