“Small” Atlantic crossing from Gibraltar to the Cape Verde Islands
From € 3.800,– per person
/
For sailors – the east-west Atlantic crossing – along the so-called barefoot route to the Caribbean. A dream for many sailors – doing the Atlantic once. Guests can help set and trim the sails, join the watch schedule, and even take the helm themselves. But: ‘Everything is optional’
Every sailing trip follows the conditions of nature. The itinerary shown is a non-binding orientation and can change depending on wind and weather.
Individual arrival in Tenerife and boarding in the afternoon. On board, you will meet your fellow sailors, the crew, and of course the yacht. During a detailed briefing, you will learn everything important about life and routines on board during the coming days at sea.
At the first shared dinner, there is time to get to know each other and to look ahead to the upcoming passage. The captain explains the current weather situation and the planned routing for the next days.
After breakfast, it’s time to cast off. The coast slowly recedes and ahead lies the open sea. From now on, the yacht is underway nonstop – day and night.
Whenever conditions allow, we sail. Those who wish can support the crew with setting and trimming sails, take the helm, and learn more about navigation and seamanship. Participation is warmly encouraged but not mandatory.
On a delivery, the sea sets the daily rhythm. There are no fixed daily programs and no ports that must be reached at a certain time. Instead, long sailing hours alternate with shared meals and quiet moments on deck.
The yacht continues its journey even at night. Those who wish can experience sailing under the starry sky and gain a very special impression of what a longer passage at sea feels like.
There is much to observe along the way: dolphins often accompany the bow for a while, flying fish skim over the water surface, and with a bit of luck, a whale may even appear on the horizon. Between these moments lie hours where only sea and sky are visible – this is exactly what makes a delivery so special.
With every nautical mile, familiarity with the ship and its routines grows. The crew provides insights into navigation, weather, sailing maneuvers, and life at sea. Thus, the passage itself becomes the actual destination.
After several days at sea, the coast finally appears on the horizon. The last nautical miles offer one more chance to enjoy sailing and the shared time on board.
After arrival, the traditional Captain’s Dinner takes place. Together with the crew and fellow sailors, you reflect on the distance covered and the special moments of the delivery.
After a final shared breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye to the crew, fellow sailors, and the yacht. Disembarkation and individual departure or extension of your stay on land.
An intense time at sea comes to an end – with many nautical miles sailed and a completely new perspective on travelling under sail.

Atlantic crossing with the KAIRÓS – sailing as part of the crew
This journey is not for passengers, but for true sailors! On the KAIRÓS we cross the Atlantic from Tenerife to Tobago, and you are right in the middle of it, not just along for the ride. As part of the crew, you take part in watches, steer the ship, trim the sails, and navigate together with the experienced regular crew across the ocean.
A “Medical” / sea-worthiness certificate is mandatory for this trip and sailing experience is welcome, as teamwork counts on board! Accompanied by the steady trade winds, we enjoy the pure sailing feeling: endless expanse, breathtaking sunrises, and the interplay of wind and waves. An ideal opportunity for all who want to collect ocean miles for SHS/RYA sailing certificates or actively experience the Atlantic under sail.
Of course, we also offer our usual service and delicious food provided by our regular crew.
