wants 1 crew for Seraphina of Chichester, Island Packet 440, 13.95m.

From River Crouch , United Kingdom to Marina Bay Gibraltar, Spain.

July 2023 to August 2023.

A family boat sailing from UK to Gibraltar this summer. We plan to leave the River Crouch on the East Coast and sail via Alderney to Brest. From Brest we will cross Biscay directly towards Cape Finisterre. We are closely monitoring the interactions with Orca on the Iberian coast and will make routing decisions subject to information available at the time, either hoping down the Atlantic coast of Spain and Portugal or staying well offshore all the way down. We will then make stops along the Algarve and Spanish south Atlantic coast as we head towards Gibraltar. We plan to take up to a month subject to weather conditions. Seraphina is a comfortable boat and very well equipped.
