ROUTE The ocean is the real destination of this trip. But let’s be honest, reaching the tropics is quite special too! Imagine arriving in the tropics after a long time at sea, and zipping that longed for coconut. Twister sets sail from Lisbon, Portugal which is easy to reach by land. The plan is to make a stop in the Canary Islands as well as Cape Verde (weather depending). Be aware that the weather could always change the route. Lisbon - Canary Islands (750 Nautical Miles) Canary Islands - Cape Verder (850 Nautical Miles) Cape Verde - Suriname (2200 Nautical Miles) Sailing Vessel Twister is a ship of +100 years that still sails the oceans, safely! Isn’t that amazing in itself? No plastic push buttons or winches on this vessel. She’s beautiful. She’s solid. She’s big. She’s spacious. She’s super comfortable. She’s got soul. She lasts. She has proven her worth and seaworthiness. Sailing ship Twister is a schooner built in 1902, with an impressive story to tell. Originally a fishing boat built out of wood, fifty-five years later, her wooden hull was replaced for a steel one so she could continue to fish. She now features all safety equipment, modern comforts, and all licences and certificates to take you safely offshore. She sails under the highly regarded Dutch flag. Her current owners are driven to sail her far, and with purpose. The aim is to facilitate memorable expeditions that people will treasure for life, and contribute towards a better planet. Last year, we sailed with her around the Atlantic, conditions ranging between champagne sailing and 9 Beaufort. The only thing we broke were two plates. Given the success of the last expedition, we can now surely recommend her for your ocean crossing. Contact us for full trip details & bonus goodies.
