From Harlingen, Netherlands to Madeira, Portugal.

October 2021 to August 2021.

Disconnect from everything but nature and your fellow shipmates we carefully recrewed to create a beautiful mix of explorers on board. Expand your network, learn, experience pure ocean connection, and exchange skills and knowledge with fellow Ocean Nomads. Autumn 2021 we are sailing from the Netherlands to Madeira and Madeira to the Canary Islands onboard Twister, a classic 36 meter schooner originally built in 1902. A hands-on 1800 nautical miles voyage for life, together with a likeminded bunch of Ocean Nomads. We are a mix of entrepreneurs, alternative lifestyle seekers, self sufficiency enthusiasts, and water sports fanatics. Driven by passion and purpose for the love of the ocean, we explore the exciting and natural ways to travel oceans and create regenerative lifestyles. EXPERIENCE - LIFESTYLE - TRAVEL - PURPOSE - CONNECTION - NATURE We’ve tested Twisters sea worthiness, met the lovely owners, skipper, and mate, and experienced the performance and potential of this vessel. She’s beautiful. She’s solid. She’s big. She’s spacious. She’s super comfortable. She’s got soul. She lasts. We’re super excited to take her on an offshore voyage this autumn. This is not just an expedition you join for a few weeks and that's it. This is an experience that will change the way you approach life, nature and the ocean. We believe our expeditions are just the beginning for plotting the next course in your life. By jumping on board this voyage, you will also join our expanding global network of impact-driven travellers, ocean entrepreneurs, sailors, (free)divers, surfers, and active salty souls passionate about the ocean and eager to do good. It's the people who make the trip and we walk the extra mile to get a diverse but like-minded adventure-spirited bunch together. Estimated sea time +/- two weeks. It's a hands-on trip and everyone is expected to join all duties on board. It's ok to not have sailing experience. We're happy to teach. Not just about the sailing but also the lifestyle around it. Many of us are joining because we desire a sustainable ocean nomadic lifestyle. This voyage is a great opportunity to share ideas, skills and accelerate the ambitions. Why Join? • Meet a beautiful bunch of adventurous unconventional dream chasers on a mission. We walk the extra mile to curate a beautiful crew team. Finding a boat is easy, finding a like-minded happy positive vibed team is what makes all the difference. • Accelerate your personal journey to make the dreams happen. • Connect nature. • Expand your worldview. You’ll step away from it all and get a dose of fresh perspectives on the world, others, and yourself. • Learn about minimizing your environmental footprint and to share what you have learned. • Find and explore and build partnerships. • Create memorable moments. Possibly that epiphany moment. • Learn the basics of sailing, build miles (1700) and improve your sailing skills and experience. • Perfect preparation for an Atlantic crossing. • Meet your tribe and expand your network. We got your back before and after the trip by staying in touch and building on what we create on board. And we introduce you to our member vessels of which many welcome you on board their vessels all around the world. About the Organizer Hello! My name is Suzanne. Having no idea about sailing a few years ago I boathitchhiked +30.000 nautical miles across oceans and seas to learn as much as I can. in 2018, I got my YachtMaster Offshore license so I can take you sailing and share what the magic is all about. What excites me the most and what I believe can truly contribute to making the ocean healthier, is to share with others how beautiful the sailing lifestyle is, to see the big smiling faces, to share how beautiful the sea is, how valuable water and power is, what easy solutions we can implement to minimise our footprint and maximise our impact, and what happens when you put some a combo of happy / driven / curious / different nationality people together in a small boat. So many beautiful stories, moments and mini adventures to share. With Ocean Nomads I connect people to the ocean and to each other. I'd love to welcome you to the ocean nomads community! I'm NOT the skipper of the Twister. I'm not qualified for that. I'm merely bringing together an enthusiastic bunch of salty souls for the upcoming expedition. I'll join myself as well and I'm happy to share my stories from slow travelling and sailing the world the past 10 years. We can't wait for some serious sea time and we start with the sail from the Netherlands to the Canaries to just be connected to nothing but nature and an epic bunch of adventure seekers, lifestyle designers, ocean entrepreneurs, and eco-minded salty souls. Please note that to be able to do the trip a contribution is required. It's not cheap but it's really cheap for what you get and compared to anything similar out there. We just want to make it happen :) But we have no rich owner owning the boat here ;). We do provide a discount for Ocean Nomads members. Please read the description as well as our profile carefully to explore if it's for you. It'll answer most of your questions. If it's a hell yeah, we welcome your application! We'd love to chat with you on the phone to align expectations and see if we're a great fit. It's the people who make the trip :) Welcome on board! Cheers Suzy, www.oceannomads.co
