Lisbon (Cascais) – Porto – La Coruña

We will start our cruise in the beautiful tourist port town of Cascais
on the outskirts of Lisbon. We will visit Porto, we will stop at the marina
right at the mouth of the Douro River, not far from the famous Port wine cellars,
which we will visit. We end up in the Spanish port city of La Coruña, home
to the world’s oldest lighthouse still in operation.
Port & Paella, sun and sailing – a winning combination!

Malaga – Gibraltar – Tanger – Cádiz – Faro – Lisabon (Cascais)

Discovery adventure sail full of interesting, exotic places.
It’s not often that you visit four countries on two continents on one holiday!
The sailing adventure is planned in such a way that there is time to wander
the streets of the towns and cities visited. Each place is completely different,
with a different atmosphere and a different culture. Sailing in the Gibraltar
area is a powerful experience in itself due to the current, weather and heavy
boat traffic – great for revising your col regs!
Malaga is easily accessible by plane, as is Lisbon for all major airports.

Lanzarote To Madeira

Three days of ocean crossing to the island of eternal spring.
We will sail from Arrecife, stopping at the beautiful and rustic Isla Graciosa,
north of Lanzarote followed by Islas Selvagenas which is a Portuguese nature
reserve comprising of several small islands about 130 miles northwest of Lanzarote.
The next stop will be Porto Santo, a small neighbour of Madeira with a beautiful,
almost empty golden beach of several miles.
Once on Madeira we will visit some of the marinas in the south of the island and
end up in Funchal, the capital of Madeira.
The entire trip should be less than 400 miles.
Informal coaching on the way, keeping your skills fresh in the winter months.

Jersey – Dublin – Largs

A brisk, action-packed cruise across the English Channel and the Irish Sea.

Jersey – Jersey (Channel Islands)

The area of Brittany and the Channel Islands has one of the largest
tidal ranges in Europe, with very strong tidal currents. Yachting paradise
and hell at the same time. Amazing sailing experience and good experience.

La Coruña – Brest

Who hasn’t sailed the Biscay, it’s as if he wasn’t even a yachtsman.
The Bay of Biscay is called the weather kitchen for Europe.
The weather here changes quite quickly and with stronger winds,
bigger waves can form. That’s why we count on a 10-day cruise
so that we can wait for the optimal moment to set sail. The cruise
itself should take about 3 days. If there is time left, we will take
some cruises along the coast of Brittany around Brest.
Both La Coruña and Brest are harbor pearls of the Atlantic Ocean.
