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 3 icebergs.
These voyages are defined by longer crossings, which may range from two days to several weeks at sea. Routes often lead into remote regions where weather, sea state and conditions can become demanding, and where assistance may be further away than in more populated sailing areas. Participants should be prepared for a more intensive experience and a higher degree of self-reliance. This is the level where sailing becomes a true expedition and where the journey itself is the destination.
