Rare chance to navigate by the stars as you sail across the Atlantic Ocean eastbound from BVIs to Azores to UK on a 60ft Clipper expedition yacht celestial navigation voyage.
You’ll join the crew in the gorgeous Caribbean island of Antigua where expert instructors will give you two days of intensive tuition in celestial navigation (prior knowledge not needed) and you will then set off across the Atlantic Ocean.
Using just the sextant to navigate 3,500nm across the Atlantic Ocean, you will plot your position using the Sun, Moon, planets and stars until you make landfall some 2,300nm later in the Azores archipelago. Weather permitting there will be some time for R&R there then we set off east once again for the final 1,200 nm to the south coast of England.
During your sailing adventure you’ll be on board as guest crew with up to eight other sailors alongside two professionals on a 60ft blue water expedition yacht. Onboard expect to learn a lot, brush up skills, explore and have fun with a group of like-minded individuals. With 90% joining these sailing adventures solo it’s usually a 50:50 male and female split. Be it a coastal, offshore voyage or skill building sailing trip these sailing experiences are ideal for both new and experienced sailors joining solo or in groups. Most routes don’t require previous sailing experience and top quality training on the yacht is embedded into all of them.

Tour operator
We love this sailing company’s ethos – to help people do three things: sail, train and explore. They are passionate about enabling people to experience life out on the open ocean, building sailing skills and exploring some beautiful countries. After years of training people to become professional sailors, and having covered thousands of miles between them, the company Founders realised that so many people had dreamt of setting off across an ocean, but hadn’t the skills, the boat or crew to make those dreams come true.
The company now runs expeditions on a specialised 60’ yacht to some of the most exciting places out there – often largely inaccessible from land. With no previous sailing experience required, the two instructors will guide you every step of the way as you develop your sailing skills, maybe even earning an RYA qualification during the week. Exploring on land as they go is just as important and the bikes and a kayak mean you can head off and enjoy everything there is to see along the route.
