Crew roles: Who is this for? For Ocean Nomads who: ✅ Have basic sailing experience (crew or skipper in coastal waters). ✅ Want to build confidence in offshore passages and long-distance navigation. ✅ Value teamwork, sustainability, and adventure. Ocean Nomads trips focus on hands-on learning and experience surrounding adventure, impact & community rather than formal certifications which we are not able to issue. This trip is ideal if you're eager to level up your sailing and seamanship skills and build confidence as crew or skipper in a real-world setting. Perfect to get you ready for confidently sailing your own vessel or for example, the Yachtmaster Offshore certificate. It's not for: ❌ Complete beginners with no sailing experience (see our beginner-friendly trips). ❌ Those seeking a laid back luxury cruise—this is an active, hands-on adventure. It’s the people who make the adventure. We curate a diverse, multi-skilled crew with a similar mindset to create a powerful team mix. It makes ALL the difference. We live beyond the status quo or desire to do so. We care for the planet. Minimize, simplify and cut down on our environmental footprint where we can. We lift each other up and support each other when in need.
