Curaçao "couchsurfing"

Looking for short term or long term crew as long as you have the funds to maintain yourself of course. Cruising plans are to stay in Curacao for the rest of hurricane season til end of November then sail to Colombia or Jamaica (undecided yet)

A cabin is available for short therm like-minded sailors/hitchikers/budget travelers free of charge. Must help with boat chores every now and then (get water, get gasoline for the dinghy, clean the boat, etc)

This is my life's DREAM (part 2) and the plan is to circumnavigate the earth.
I made it from Ireland to the Mediterranean until Italy in 2019. Since 2022 I have cruised the Med, made it to Madeira, Canaries, Cape Verde, Brazil, French Guiana and finally the Caribbean. Check my socials [blocked] and [blocked]. You can also find me on [blocked].

The idea is to sail safely, spending the least possible and enjoying the most possible.

The boat was hauled out in Chaguaramas until mid May when she was launched back on the water. Lots of work done and she's finally ready to go.

We share the expenses equally (food, diesel, marinas).

The boat is my home, pride and joy and she's very well equipped and maintained including life raft, EPIRB, AIS, autopilot, plotter, vhf, radar, solar, 2 fridges (new deep freezer this season), 220v inverter, new lithium battery bank this season as well, Starlink internet and a dinghy with outboard.

If you love traveling, free diving, exploring, drinking and having fun then you should come sailing aboard Morrigan.

Ps: I work remotely part time from the boat. It's a good balance for me to work and enjoy life to the fullest at the same time!

Cheers,
Arthur

Me and my partner joined captain Arthur in his boat for 3 weeks in Brazil, and was a great time! Artur is super easy going, and patient to teach me! The boat is his house and he will make you feel like home too! He has snorkeling on board to borrow you in case you need it. The boat is super cool, and full of space! He is always open to discuss about where you want to ancorage the boat also! he always prefer to do safe trips and wait for the safest time to move, what make the trip be super comfortable! Drinks on board as always welcome and he also loves to go out to make a little party! we had meet his friends, because we were sailing with him in his hometown, and everyone were super cool people! By the way, if you are a girl traveling by yourself dont worry i can tell you he is a safe company! We had a amazing experience, thanks for having us with you Captain Arthur ?? be safe! and hope see you soon!

Sailing Sardinia on Neverland / Best summer '22 experience!

5

I joined Captain Arthur and his friend on Neverland for a week in August in Sardinia, sailing along the southern coast. I had a great time on board, and - after haven't been sailing in a long time - Arthur was super patient. On top, as Crew, we had an excellent time snorkeling, cooking, swimming, and, of course, Aperol at sunset! I am very grateful for this experience and on top found a friend for life :-) Good luck with all your upcoming adventures, Captain!

Met Arthur on his adventures in Northern France. Had a great time so came back for a week in North Spain and now again in Portugal / South Spain. He's the perfect gent, really easy going and I felt very safe. I wanted more sailing experience and he explained things patiently. I've learnt a lot and made a good friend. Thanks Arthur! X

I joined Arthur on his trip for 12 days. We had a lovely time, comfortable sailing and found some beautiful anchor spots. Arthur is a great guy, careful sailor and a lot of fun. Meet him! :)
