Sailing Round the World wants 1 crew for S/Y Celeste of Solent, Farr65r, m.
From Ponta Delgada, Portugal to Tenerife, Spain.
September 2025 to September 2025.
This is the sailing trip for those who want to experience ocean sailing under occasionally challenging conditions and explore three of the Atlantic archipelagos. We start our journey from São Miguel in mid September and set course for Santa Maria, the southernmost of the Azorean islands, 100 NM south of Ponta Delgada. From Santa Maria, it’s approximately 500 NM to Porto Santo, which is part of Madeira. After Porto Santo, we continue to Madeira – the green island far out in the Atlantic. After Madeira, we might stop at Ilhas Desertas or Salvagem Grande (both nature reserves belonging to Portugal) before sailing on to the Canary Islands.
What roles/experience are needed (Crew 1): does not matter
Sailing with a Rally: Independent

Cabins/Sleeping : shared cabin-hot bunk

Crew roles: As a crew member on board Celeste of Solent, you become part of the team and are involved in everything from steering and navigating to cooking and cleaning. We sail in watch teams where you are on watch for three hours and off watch for six hours. You will develop as a sailor and learn off-shore sailing, navigation and route planning. We do not require prior experience from off-shore sailing, though experience from sailing is preferable. Usually the crew have different level of knowledge and experience and we mix the watch team accordingly. Our skipper and first mate are always at hand to guide and help. We are a total 12-14 crew members on board, including permanent crew. There are no private cabins on Celeste. Under way, it is most comfortable to sleep in the aft because the boat moves the least there. Therefore, we alternate between the berths in the aft when we sail. Cost of food is not included in price and is shared among the crew. As a crew member, you’ll participate according to your ability in all activities on board.
Money: voyage cost $2560
Travel to and from boat: crew pays
