🌍 Antigua to Dartmouth – The Full Atlantic Passage on Ninja Penguin ⛵ If you’re looking for the complete ocean sailing experience, this is it. Join Ninja Penguin for a multi-leg passage from Antigua to Dartmouth, crossing the Atlantic in stages via Bermuda and the Azores. It’s a proper offshore journey—varied, rewarding, and designed to give you the full picture of bluewater sailing. The route & timing This passage is broken into three classic legs: Antigua → Bermuda (~900–1,000 nm) ⏱️ Approx. 6–8 days at 6 knots Bermuda → Azores (~1,800 nm) ⏱️ Approx. 12–14 days at 6 knots Azores → Dartmouth (UK) (~1,200 nm) ⏱️ Approx. 8–10 days at 6 knots Taken together, this is a 3,900–4,000 nautical mile Atlantic crossing, typically completed over 4–6 weeks including stopovers, depending on weather and turnaround time in each port. Life on board Each leg has its own character. You’ll move from trade wind sailing out of the Caribbean, to the open North Atlantic, and finally into the more changeable conditions approaching the UK. You’ll stand watches, take part in navigation and sail handling, and settle into the rhythm of offshore life—sleeping in short bursts, sharing meals, and watching the ocean change day by day. The stopovers in Bermuda and the Azores offer a chance to rest, reset, and enjoy two of the Atlantic’s most iconic sailing destinations. Safety & standards Ninja Penguin is coded to MCA Cat 0, the highest level of commercial certification for yachts operating worldwide. That includes: Offshore safety equipment suitable for extended ocean passages Strict inspection and compliance standards Professional-grade navigation and communication systems Combined with an experienced skipper, mate (RYA Instructors) and a well-prepared yacht, the passage is approached in a structured, careful, and reassuring way. Who it’s for Sailors wanting a full Atlantic crossing experience Mile-builders looking for serious offshore distance Those progressing toward longer or more advanced passages Adventurous individuals ready to commit to multiple weeks at sea You can join for a single leg or stay on for the full journey—but either way, this is about doing it properly. 🌅 Antigua to Dartmouth.

Crew roles: ALMOST ANYONE!! (See below) --- ### ⚓ **1. Aspiring offshore sailors (beginner → early intermediate)** People who’ve done some coastal sailing and want their "first proper ocean passage". * Curious about what multiple days at sea actually feels like * Want structured exposure to watch systems, night sailing, and passage routines * Prefer a well-managed, safety-focused environment rather than a “wing it” trip 👉 This trip is long enough to be meaningful, but not so long it becomes overwhelming. --- ### 🌊 **2. Mile-builders & experience seekers** Sailors looking to **log serious offshore miles** and deepen real-world experience. * Building confidence for future passages or qualifications * Want hands-on involvement (navigation, sail trim, decision-making) * Value sailing a properly coded, ocean-capable yacht --- ### 🧭 **3. Career-track / qualification-focused sailors** Those working toward certifications or professional pathways. * Need documented offshore / ocean passages * Want exposure to a vessel operating under **MCA Cat 0** standards * Interested in observing how a properly run offshore yacht operates --- ### 🌅 **4. Adventure-minded non-sailors (with the right mindset)** People without much experience—but who are **mentally prepared for offshore life**. * Comfortable being at sea for a week with no land in sight * Open to learning and taking part in watches * More interested in the experience than luxury --- ### ⚠️ **Who it’s *not* for** * ❌ Anyone expecting a relaxed holiday with no responsibilities * ❌ People uncomfortable with varied sleep patterns or shared living space * ❌ Those prone to severe seasickness - even with appropriate preparation * ❌ Anyone looking for guaranteed calm conditions (it’s open ocean sailing)
