Welcome aboard! 

We run small-crew, training-first passages across the Baltic, Atlantic and Mediterranean. This is not a paid charter. Crew make contributions toward running costs (food on board, fuel, ports, safety consumables, charts/subscriptions, pro-rated maintenance). 

We’re here to teach, mentor and explore. Your skipper holds RYA Yachtmaster Ocean (Commercially Endorsed) and has thousands of offshore miles leading deliveries on the Scandinavia ↔ Netherlands ↔ Mediterranean corridor—plus experience aboard high-performance race boats (VO65/VO70 class). Expect calm, professional decision-making, clear briefs, and the kind of practical seamanship you only get from real ocean miles.

How costs work (simple & transparent)

Daily guideline: Baltic/Atlantic €65/crew/day, Mediterranean €74/crew/day.
We publish a per-leg estimate (kitty cap); contributions are pooled to run the voyage.
A modest surplus may, with crew consent, fund a shared end-of-leg meal (up to €15/pp), or be rolled to the next leg.

What you get

Training-first: watchkeeping, passage planning, heavy-weather tactics, night entries, safety culture.
Advanced nav coaching: a library of our own navigation materials, from practical pilotage to celestial navigation (astro) drills—sextant practice when weather allows.
Real miles: purposeful, longer legs (Biscay, Strait of Gibraltar, West Med) that build judgement as well as a logbook.

How it feels

We sail to learn and to feel the sea—dawn landfalls, quiet anchorages, the rhythm of watches, and the simple beauty of a well-trimmed boat. The technical and the wild live side by side here: checklists and check stars; safety briefings and sunset squalls; purposeful coaching and the joy of discovery.

Who this is for

Sailors who want serious sea time, coaching and confidence—without charter fluff. ” If you’re curious, committed, and ready to stand a watch, you’ll fit right in.

Professional & Proven

Led by a RYA Yachtmaster Ocean (CE) skipper with thousands of offshore miles, regular deliveries Scandinavia ↔ Netherlands ↔ Mediterranean, and time on high-performance boats (VO65/VO70). Calm judgment, clear briefs, real seamanship.

Cost-sharing, not charter

We run training-first passages with a small crew (max 3 + skipper). No “berth price”. Crew contribute to running costs (food, fuel, ports, safety, charts, maintenance pro-rata). Skipper does not contribute.

Safety first

Ocean-grade kit: EPIRB, liferaft, Jonbuoy, personal AIS for each crew, jackstays, flares. Night harness/tethers, watch system, solid passage plans.

Flexible & purposeful

We tailor the route and coaching to the crew and weather—no cookie-cutter trips. Offshore legs for real miles; sensible bailouts when it’s smart.

Serious coaching

Hands-on mentoring: watchkeeping, passage planning, heavy-weather tactics, night entries. Navigation library on board—from pilotage to celestial (astro) with sextant practice when conditions allow.
