Ninja Penguin wants 4 crew for Ninja Penguin, Bowman 57 , m.

From Dartmouth , United Kingdom to Porto, Portugal.

October 2025 to October 2025.

Leave the ordinary behind. Step aboard a 57ft Bowman – a true ocean-going thoroughbred – and chart a course across the legendary Bay of Biscay on a voyage that blends classic seamanship with raw adventure. Departing from the historic port of Dartmouth, we ride the rhythms of the Atlantic as we sail south, chasing the horizon toward the sun-drenched coast of Portugal. Over 10 days, you’ll experience the untamed majesty of one of Europe’s most iconic offshore passages. Expect lively seas, star-filled skies, and the unforgettable camaraderie that only a true sea passage can forge. This isn’t a cruise – it’s an odyssey. From the rolling swells of the Biscay to the deep, silent calm of a night watch under canvas, every mile is a lesson in navigation, endurance, and the thrill of the open ocean. Dolphins dance off the bow, the wind sings in the rigging, and each day brings the rich satisfaction of salt, spray, and sail. Your yacht? A 57ft Bowman – elegant, sturdy, and built for bluewater. Safe, swift, and stunning under sail. With an experienced Skipper and Mate onboard you’ll learn the ropes, take the wheel, and be part of a crew on a true seafarer’s journey. Final landfall: Porto. Arrive with a salt-etched grin, a head full of stories, and a heart forever changed. This is more than a passage – it’s a rite of passage. Are you ready to cross? Whatever your level of experience this trip will be an amazing learning opportunity. as long as you have average physical fitness and a sense of adventure we can give you the skills required to participate as part of the crew. In addition to this if you are an experienced sailor and want to gain a Yachtmaster Ocean qualifying passage then look no further. we can support you through what is required to ensure you get what you need from the voyage. We are also continuing down to Las Palmas following this trip So if you would like to extend your experience then this is the perfect opportunity.
