Iceland to Ireland

Iceland to Ireland – North Atlantic Expedition ??⛵??
24 August – 20 September 2026
Approx. 900 nautical miles • 4 weeks

Join us aboard SY Seafinn, a 56-foot Formosa ketch, for an unforgettable North Atlantic adventure from Iceland to Ireland.

Departing from Iceland, we'll explore some of the wildest and most remote waters in the North Atlantic. Depending on weather and conditions, the route may include stops in the Westman Islands, the Faroe Islands, the Hebrides, or transit through the Caledonian Canal before arriving in Ireland.

This is not a charter or a sightseeing cruise. We operate as a shared-cost sailing expedition, where everyone onboard becomes part of the crew. You'll take part in watches, sail handling, navigation, cooking, and the day-to-day life of an ocean-going sailing vessel.

Expect a mix of offshore passages, coastal cruising, spectacular scenery, wildlife encounters, and the reality of life at sea. Some days bring perfect sailing and stunning sunsets. Others may bring strong winds, rough seas, cold weather, and long watches. That's all part of the adventure.
Whether you're an experienced sailor or someone looking to gain real offshore experience, attitude, reliability, and a willingness to learn are more important than sailing qualifications.

Shared cabins, own bunk.

Fantastic Experience

5

I recently completed a 28 day trip from Nassau Bahama to Halifax Nova Scotia aboard Seafinn. Prior to this trip I had no offshore sailing experience. I cannot overstate how fantastic this adventure was. The crew bonded over shared experiences that most people never have. Captain Fredrik is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of his vessel and in navigating ocean crossings. He took his obligations for our safety very seriously and continuously monitored weather forecasts. He provided daily briefings to the crew on weather patterns and his plan of action to address them. The trip was full of amazing sunsets, brilliant constellations, marine mammals, fish and seabirds. If you are looking for for a shared experience sailing a beautiful boat in a natural setting, I highly recommend Captain Fredrik and Seafinn.

Great sail

I recently had the most incredible sailing experience with my girlfriend on a trip from the Dominican Republic to Cuba, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, the captains stood out with their exceptional social skills. They created a warm, welcoming atmosphere on board, effortlessly connecting with everyone while maintaining a high level of professionalism. It never felt forced—they genuinely cared about making sure every guest felt included and comfortable. Safety was clearly a priority throughout the entire journey. Whether it was navigating changing conditions or explaining safety procedures, we always felt completely secure and in good hands. The boat is definetly big enough to have a good time. Nice community area for having meals together and enough space to find a spot for yourself if needed. What impressed me most, however, was the strong sense of equality and respect on board. The captains made it very clear that everyone—crew and guests alike—was treated fairly and equally, regardless of gender. That kind of awareness and inclusivity created a genuinely positive and respectful environment, which was important for us. All in all, this was an unforgettable adventure. I would highly recommend this sailing trip to anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming experience at sea. And if you are in doubt, simply call them! They will show you their boat and answer genuenly every question you have. They have so much experience and most likely seen your special trait several times before.

Fantastic Voyage!

I had a fantastic time sailing for four weeks with Seafinn in the Caribbean. Fredrik and Rebekka are wonderful down-to-earth people, very competent sailors and Seafinn is set up well for comfort and safety. I really appreciated how all the crew pitched in to cook, keep watch and how willing Fredrik and Rebekka were to help the crew learn the boat systems. If you want to explore some new places, get some sailing experience or get a feel for the cruising lifestyle this is a great opportunity. Also, it was great to play and cuddle with their dog Coconut. She always put a smile on everyone's face wherever we went. I can't wait to sail with Seafinn again!

Life changing experience

5

Rebekka and Fred were amazing captains, willing to teach you all there is to know about sailing and allow you to help and learn. I arrived in Dublin and from the first minute felt welcome and was surrounded by the most incredible crew, which made the journey even better. The people I met, places I saw and the experience of being totally away from my usual London (rat race!) life taught me to slow down a bit and take stock of what is truly important in life. Without this journey, I wouldn't be in the great place I am now, thank you both so much! Anyone who gets the chance to sail with these two should snap it up and enjoy what they have to offer. Much love <3

Amazing sailing experience

5

Rebekka and Fredrik are both super capable captains, which makes Seafinn a very trustworthy boat. They teach with patience, give you responsibility according to your skills and share their wonderful home with you. This sailing trip was indescribable: swimming in the ocean, fishing, trimming the sails, watching the other ships on the ocean, stopping on some islands on the way. We would definitely do this again ? Thank you for this amazing memory, not a day has gone by without thinking about the days we spent on the boat.

perfect sailing experience

5

I actually wanted to stay just a few days on the boat with Fredric and Rebekka but extended for 3 weeks. Both are very warm and welcoming hosts and made me feel at home from the first moment on their beautiful boat. We really had a great time together and enjoyed sailing, snorkeling, good food and drinks. Both hosts are extremly flexible with plans and activities and have always great ideas what to do. I can highly recommend Fredrik as a captain who sails very save, has lots of experience and will tell you more about his boat. I really had an awesome time, it was even better than expected and I already miss you guys and will definitley come back :)

Super geweldige ervaring

Een meer dan geweldige ervaring, onze reis om Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Fredrik is een uitstekende kapitein, geweldige uitleg, deelt kennis en vaardigheden op een fijne manier, houdt rekening met alle veiligheids voorschriften, openhartig, fijn gezelschap, overleg, respecteert andere, super persoonlijkheid. Gelijk zo Rebekka zijn vriendin. Doen alles om een onvergetelijke tijd te hebben. Hartelijk dank lieve vrienden.
