For whom is this trip suitable?
With our voyages, we aim to introduce beginners to sailing and the ocean on the one hand, and experienced sailors who want to do something different on the other. But of course, not every trip is the same... That's why we distinguish between heaviness and effort. That way you have an idea of what you can, should and should expect.
This trip has 2 icebergs.
A true sailing adventure with an added sense of challenge. Depending on the route and weather conditions, these voyages may include an occasional night at sea. Greater flexibility and perseverance are sometimes required, but the rewards are equally greater. This level is ideal for those looking to experience longer passages and take their first step into more adventurous sailing without entering expedition territory.
