Setting off from the San Blas Archipelago in January 2026, we will transit the Panama Canal, follow the west coast of South America then head towards the islands of Polynesia in April. Aiming for Australia by the end of the season. We have a double, en-suite cabin that will suite a couple, and a single berth available.

Crew roles: Although the skipper is blue water experienced, with a few exceptions, the legs are long distances in open water. Some previous, first hand knowledge of these types of cruises will be helpful. If you are debilitated with mal-de-mer the ship loses two crew. You and your carer. Things break at sea, being able to fix them is a good transferable skill and could be worth it's weight in extra rations. A sense of humour is mandatory and will be very useful. 53 feet sounds like a big boat, and it is when you are paying for bottom paint but, it’s a tiny place to be stuck in with someone who’s guts you hate. You will pay a contribution towards food, 15€ per day, and yourself ashore. You pay for your travel and visas and buy your own booze for anchorages. The ship pays for everything else. If you are familiar with sailing a small boat from country to country in variable conditions you will know how quickly those costs can escalate. If you can imagine a year at sea from one side of the Pacific Ocean to the other, the skipper could have spent tens of thousands whilst you have bought your food and seen every sunrise from the same deck.

Money: daily contribution from crew $16

Travel to and from boat: crew pays
