ROUTE The ocean is the real destination of this trip. But let’s be honest, the Azores islands are pure paradise! We set sail from St. Maarten in the Caribbean and possibly but weather depending we make a stop in Bermuda. St. Maarten to Bermuda are about 900 Nautical Miles. From Bermuda to the Azores are 1810 Miles. May we go directly from St. Maarten to the Azores this will be about 2300 Nautical Miles, covering a large part of the Atlantic Ocean. From the Azores to the Netherlands it’s about 1500 Nautical Miles. Weather depending we may make a stop in Brest (France), or the UK or even Galicia, Spain. The arrival destination is the Netherlands. Sailing Vessel Twister is a ship of +100 years that still sails the oceans, safely! Isn’t that amazing in itself? No plastic push buttons or winches on this vessel. She’s beautiful. She’s solid. She’s big. She’s spacious. She’s super comfortable. She’s got soul. She lasts. She has proven her worth and seaworthiness. Sailing ship Twister is a schooner built in 1902, with an impressive story to tell. Originally a fishing boat built out of wood, fifty-five years later, her wooden hull was replaced for a steel one so she could continue to fish. She now features all safety equipment, modern comforts, and all licences and certificates to take you safely offshore. She sails under the highly regarded Dutch flag. Her current owners are driven to sail her far, and with purpose. The aim is to facilitate memorable expeditions that people will treasure for life, and contribute towards a better planet. Last year, we sailed with her around the Atlantic, conditions ranging between champagne sailing and 9 Beaufort. The only thing we broke were two plates. Given the success of the last expedition, we can now surely recommend her for your ocean crossing. Contact us for full trip details & bonus goodies. Watch our film about last year's crossing on SV Twister ' Sailing the Atlantic Ocean Nomads' on Youtube to get an idea what it's like.
