Ninja Penguin wants 3 crew for Ninja Penguin, Bowman 57 , m.

From Hamilton, Bermuda to Horta - AZORES, Portugal.

April 2026 to May 2026.

🌊 **Bermuda to the Azores – A True Atlantic Passage on *Ninja Penguin*** ⛵ If you’re looking for a *proper* ocean crossing, this is it. Join *Ninja Penguin* for the leg from Bermuda to the Azores—a classic bluewater route that takes you well into the North Atlantic, far from shipping lanes and land, and into the rhythm of real offshore sailing. **The passage** At roughly 1,800 nautical miles, this is a step up from shorter crossings. At an average of 6-8 knots, expect around **12 to 14 days at sea**, depending on conditions. It’s long enough to fully settle into ocean life—where days blend together, watches become second nature, and the outside world fades away. **Life on board** This is where offshore sailing really starts to make sense. You’ll stand regular watches, take part in sail changes and navigation, and experience everything from steady trade winds to the quieter, reflective moments mid-ocean. Expect big skies, deep water, wildlife encounters, and the satisfaction of covering serious miles under sail. **Safety & standards** *Ninja Penguin* is coded to **MCA Cat 0**, the highest level of commercial coding for yachts operating worldwide. That means: * Full offshore safety equipment for extended ocean passages * Strict inspection and maintenance standards * Professional navigation and communication systems With an experienced skipper, mate ( RYA Instructors) & a well-prepared yacht, the focus is on making a long passage feel structured, calm, and well-managed. **Who it’s for** * Sailors wanting a **serious offshore passage** * Mile-builders and those progressing toward longer crossings * Anyone ready to experience life properly at sea for two weeks This leg is less about ticking a box and more about *living the passage*—settling in, switching off from land, and arriving in the Azores with a real sense of achievement. 🌅 **Bermuda to the Azores. Around two weeks at sea. The Atlantic, properly experienced.** Cost: £3995 GBP Email: [email protected] Whatsapp: +447300543269

Mile-builders & experience seekers** Sailors looking to **log serious offshore miles** and deepen real-world experience. * Building confidence for future passages or qualifications * Want hands-on involvement (navigation, sail trim, decision-making) * Value sailing a properly coded, ocean-capable yacht --- ### 🧭 **3.

Adventure-minded non-sailors (with the right mindset)** People without much experience—but who are **mentally prepared for offshore life**. * Comfortable being at sea for a week with no land in sight * Open to learning and taking part in watches * More interested in the experience than luxury --- ### ⚠️ **Who it’s *not* for** * ❌ Anyone expecting a relaxed holiday with no responsibilities * ❌ People uncomfortable with varied sleep patterns or shared living space * ❌ Those prone to severe seasickness - even with appropriate preparation * ❌ Anyone looking for guaranteed calm conditions (it’s open ocean sailing)
