Have you dreamed about crossing the Atlantic? Let your dream come true! Now you have the chance to cross the Atlantic in a safe and easy way. More Sailing sail several boats across the Atlantic each year, each one with a professional skipper on board. We offer you a safe and carefree way of sailing the Atlantic. Before the race, the entire crew help to prepare the boat in Las Palmas. During the voyage you take turns to keep watch, sail and cook. To sail with us across the Atlantic, you must prove documented nautical skills and practical experience of navigation and living on board a boat. You and the others will live closely together during the crossing, so it is important that you are present in Las Palmas a week before departure, so you and the rest of the crew can get to know each other and prepare your boat before you sail away. On board the boats there sleeps two persons in each cabin, and if you book the trip for just yourself, you'll share a cabin with someone else. You can book a whole cabin to yourself for a supplementary cost. If you are part of a larger group, you can book an entire boat to yourselves. The prices are: 4900 US dollars 4300 Euro 3400 British Pounds The price includes a space in a cabin on the boat, a skipper and all ARC entry fees. Other expenses such as food, beverages and airline tickets are paid as additional extras. There will be a budget for food and other expenses during the crossing. The boats are equipped with the safety equipment required to sail across the Atlantic. The ARC organisers determine the requirements for safety equipment and the boats are inspected before departure from Las Palmas. There is limited satellite connectivity on board for using the Internet and telephony. It takes about three weeks to sail from Gran Canaries to St Lucia and you should expect to be on site at Las Palmas to prepare the boat a week before the start of the ARC. When you arrive at St. Lucia, you have accommodation on board the boat until the prize giving ceremony, allowing you plenty of time to relax, celebrate the crossing and experience the Caribbean. The whole adventure takes 4-5 weeks and when you get home you can proudly say “I’ve cross the Atlantic!”
