[ Cancelled ] closed Iceland to Iceland ref 7260

stephane giudicelli wants 4 crew for PIZCO, NAUTOR SWAN 38, 12m.

From Isafjordur, Iceland to Isafjordur, Iceland.

July 2020 to September 2020.

We will explore the amazing Greenland East coast, sailing in between Iceland and Greenland, and along the coasts. You can choose in between departing and/or coming back to Iceland or Kulusuk. We organize three consecutive trips in July and August, in Kangerlussuak, Ammassalik and Ikertivaq areas (see the web page for more details) depending on ice conditions. There are currently very few commercial voyages organised in this wild area. Those are two to three weeks exploration trips, in a very remote area and in full autonomy. Beginners as well as confirmed sailors are welcome aboard. The sceneries and surroundings are really impressive (Mountains, narrow inlets, ice and icebergs). There are LOTS of marine mammals. Sailing along the Greenland coast is usually very smooth and easy. It can be cold, but never below 0°C, and most of the days are sunny (and really long!) and relatively warm, especially when hiking onshore where no special gears are required. price for the voyage are per week per crewmember, in Euro. Includes kitty fees.

Crew roles: I am more than happy to sail with couple/teams/friends. This is an active voyage, not a charter ; so every team members are asked to participate to the sailing, manoeuvres, dinghies handling, life on board activities etc.. upon their abilities and wishes. Ice sailing conditions might be quite demanding, so a good physical condition is required, even if this is not a race :) . The passages from and to Iceland can be tough, and we do recommend you to take few extra days in Iceland after the return trip, as the scheduled dates might be delayed due to weather conditions. You must remember that the management and the safety of the boat are fundamental for this kind of sailing, and involves every crew member, at every moment. This will be your trip as well as mine, and what we will be able to do is also what you will bring with you ; range of activities include : Photography - Wildlife watching - Hiking - Kayaking - Free diving (diving tanks are only used for safety).

Money: voyage cost $0

Travel to and from boat: crew pays
