Circumnavigation 2025-2028
Planning a circumnavigation with my 11 meter sailing yacht starting in July 2025 until summer 2028 manly following the equator. Looking for one to three crew members to share the adventure of a lifetime.
You can join for the complete time of the journey or jump aboard only for one or two legs (e.g. an Atlantic crossing). A circumnavigation offers the opportunity to experience almost all styles of sailing: from short trips to the next bay or island hopping to true offshore experience. The general itinerary is to cross one ocean per year:
2025/26 Atlantic (leaving the Caribbean before may 2026)
2026/27 Pacific (arriving in Oceania / Polynesia by November 2027)
2027/28 Indic (Rounding the Cape of good hope in February 2028, being back in the Caribbean by April 2028)
Ideally you are in your twenties or thirties and want to see the world. Sailing experience is welcomed but not needed on a professional level. Way more important is a high level of trustworthiness and a strong mind for offshore sailing is more like a round of chess with the ocean. A change of plans and adapting to different cultural habits shouldn't bother you too much therefor flexibility is a very much needed strength.
This trip isn't a commercial cruise, so there is no fee or monthly contribution but the cost and duties aboard will be shared equally. That involves participation in keeping the boat in good shape, so as cleaning, maintenance and repairing. Navigational responsibilities like being on watch and making decisions on the next port will also be shared without neglecting the personal abilities, which will surely expand quickly over time.
Speaking of money I calculate with about 1.600 € per month as the average cost for the whole crew, including building up savings for bigger repairs e.g. new sails or a broken down outboard engine for the dinghy.
