Atlantic crossing Caribbean to Europe, St. Martin to Horta Azores

Looking for crew to sail back from the Caribbean to Europe in April 2025

Boat is currently in Antigua undergoing a refit. I hope that it will be back in the water by end of February.
You can join in Antigua for some coastal sailing and sailing to St. Martin and stay for the crossing
Or in Simpson bay St. Martin
Some sailing experience would be an advantage, but not necessary.
I am RYA Instructor and we do some coastal sailing in St. Martin before the crossing.
Doing this I can teach you and also we will see if we get along and if you like it.
Boat is in good condition and very well equipped with safety equipment.
Brand new Spinlock Offshore lifejackets with MOB AIS
Satelite Phone, Garmin Inreach, 2 EPIRBs
Watermaker, Solar, Windgenerator and much more

We gonna be max 5 crew

One of my best 2 weeks of sailing - Ever!

Joining Fabian (aka Knaii) and Jannika on board Sirius I was immediately made to feel welcome. He was always calm and relaxed, despite some of the challenges that he faced with the logistics of picking up and dropping of crew that were not on board for the full duration of the trip. Fabian has an incredible wealth of sailing experience, and was happy to patiently share this with the rest of us. He's also an excellent cook, the two of us even managed to make fish & chips for five on the boat! I learnt a huge amount during my time with Fabian, not least boat maintenance, had loads of fun with him, Jannika and the rest of the crew, and most of all, made a new friend. Thank You Fabian, I hope our plans to sail again together either later this year or early next work out. In the meantime, safe travels!

Knaii is a very good skipper. He is always have safety in mind and he can manage a team with respect and kindness for each of his crew members. He will take the decision which suit best for every situation, and keep calm in all conditions. He is also an excellent teacher! He have a huge knowledge of navigation, cruising,weatherforcast... which he likes to share. He always explained me the things quietly and clearly so that I learned very fast! He also trusted me and let me do the manover on my one, being on my side if I needed help. I really enjoyed he's art of teaching. Last but not least, he's an amazing cook who enjoys to prepare delicious and creative dinner with fresh and local products! I had an amazing time sailing with him and hope to sail again!
