Sail the Atlantic from the Azores to Madeira and Tangier
Two offshore trips, 550–650 nautical miles, night watches, professional skipper and a small hands-on crew.
August–September 2026 | Join one leg or both
Leave the coastline behind!
A few hours after departure, the land disappears below the horizon. The rhythm of everyday life fades away. Your world becomes the boat, the crew, the wind, and the Atlantic stretching in every direction.
This isn't a cruise. It's a real offshore passage where everyone becomes part of the crew. You'll stand night watches beneath a sky full of stars, learn to handle the yacht offshore, build valuable sea miles, and gain the confidence that only comes from sailing beyond sight of land.
Whether you're preparing for your Yachtmaster qualification, dreaming of your own ocean crossing, or simply looking for an adventure few people ever experience, these passages offer something impossible to recreate on a weekend sail.
By the time you step ashore, you'll have more than a logbook full of offshore miles. You'll have crossed an ocean, worked as part of a small team, and experienced a side of sailing that stays with you for life.
If that sounds like the challenge you've been looking for, we'd be delighted to welcome you aboard.

Rock'n'Roll – a true offshore racing yacht
Rock'n'Roll is a Class 40 ocean racing yacht built for long-distance offshore sailing. Fast, responsive and purpose-built, she has crossed oceans, competed in international offshore races, and proved herself in some of the world's most demanding conditions.
Completely refitted in 2022–2023 and equipped with modern carbon sails, she combines proven reliability with outstanding sailing performance.
Your skipper has logged more than 170,000 offshore miles, including 15 Atlantic crossings, and has spent a lifetime sailing and racing offshore. Throughout the expedition you'll gain first-hand experience from someone who has completed exactly the kind of passages you're about to undertake.
This isn't a luxury cruise. It's a genuine offshore sailing experience. You'll stand watches, work as part of a small crew, sleep in sea berths, share simple meals, and discover what life at sea is really like. It's challenging, rewarding, and unlike anything you'll experience on a typical sailing holiday.

PLEASE NOTE: As a long-distance trip, the crew will be operating a watch system. This normally means that a crew is split up and alternates being on / off watch. Often it's 4hr shifts with shorter shifts from 16.00-18.00 and 18.00-20.00 to ensure that you are not always on watch at the same time of day/night. Offshore yacht sailing can be difficult, and every crew member must fully acknowledge their physical condition and experience and take responsibility for all their actions on the boat.
