FluxAhoi wants 6 crew for Best Elli, Lagoon 42, m.
From Road Town, Virgin Islands - British to Mallorca, Spain.
April 2025 to May 2025.
Join an unforgettable ocean passage from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean starting in April. Ideal for sailors seeking their first bluewater experience, this journey combines learning, adventure, and the serenity of life at sea. Sunrises, watch keeping, digital detox, big game fishing and getting to Europe with less emissions! We set sail from the Caribbean (Grenada, Martinique, or the BVI), crossing via Bermuda and the Azores. From there, we navigate through Gibraltar and onward to the Balearics (Ibiza or Mallorca). Over approximately six to seven weeks, you’ll experience open ocean sailing, stunning island stops, and expert guidance from seasoned skippers. You can join at any of the Carribean locations, or in Bermuda and you can disembark at Gibraltar, any Port in the south of Spain or the Balearics Islands. Joining or disembarking on the Azores works too! The cost will differ with the leg you want to join for - ranging from $1190 to $3990 excluding crew fund. Onboard a fully equipped and brand new Lagoon Sailing Catamaran ranging from 42 to 55 ft, you’ll learn essential sailing skills, enjoy breathtaking sunsets, and discover the rhythm of life at sea. The boats are equipped with solar, generators, auto pilots, water makers, downwind sails, satellite communication and all the standard gear and safety equipment for ocean cruising. Expect camaraderie, fresh-cooked meals, and time to relax while exploring nature’s wonders. How much you want to be taught is entirely up top you, but this is a team effort! Everyone aboard is expected to contribute their fair share in watch keeping, cooking, doing the dishes and helping out with whatever is needed. Secure your spot today and make this adventure your next great story.

Crew roles: We will provide the skipper, the boat and the diesel. Whether you fit the crew is more a matter of temperament, character and willingness to learn, rather than your experience. Of course, going back may not be an option during an ocean passage, so you should at least be comfortable with being on a boat for a while. We will teach you anything you need to know, and in addition, everything you want to know. Our skippers are sailing instructors and teachers. This journey is perfect as a qualifying passage for various yacht master certifications too.
Money: voyage cost $3990
Travel to and from boat: crew pays
