LAST CHANCE TO JOIN A SWAN 55 CLASSIC ROUND THE WORLD BOAT

Hi Everybody! Hope you're all doing well through this Covid situation which managed to put a stop to most sailing activities even for us as an offshore boat

Most of our regular crew are unable to do this trip but it means that there's a rare opportunity to milebuild and improve your offshore skills in a professional offshore sailing boat. You just have to get yourself down to Lanzarote (Marina Rubicon) on on the 14TH or 15TH June;

We will be sailing via Azores and hopefully pick up some good winds into to Gosport UK on 30th

Ariana Sailing Team Ltd is committed to your safety and security and maintain a highly professional operation at sea and on land. Please note that you will need your own sailing insurance and will need to complete a medical disclaimer on joining.

All the best

Cancelled Trip without information

2

It is unfortunate that the weather didn’t allow Allan to make the trip fromm the UK to Lagos and start the 2nd leg of his journey to Lanzarote, but nobody can predict bad weather. Therefore cancelling the trip is fully understandable. I have registered for the tour to Lanzarote on his website 6 weeks ahead, got a confirmation but also sent a message via his „contact me“ Form on the website and here … Not only did I not get any reaction, also I was not notified about the cancellation of his trip. Only found out when checking the location of the vessel via marine traffic and wondering why it is still located in the UK, after researching on his website (which was offline for a few days) I found a blogpost, stating that the trip is cancelled. Hope others fare better with him, I won’t try sailing with him a second time.

Wonderful ship, nice people but stress management issues

2

Bonjour bonjour, In February 2022 I spent 6-7 days on Ariana, 3.5 days sailing from Lanzarote to Madeira. We were six people onboard, the captain and his second, two permanent crew members, my lady and I (as clients/crew members/beginners). Beside few mechanical and electrical issues that - I hope - have been resolved, the ship is wonderful. Regarding the life on board, there are plenty of nice habits as making bread, vegan menu only (meaning great cooking), supporting each others, making tea or coffee for the wheeler, harness always clip on deck, etc... The issues happened at every slightly stressful events, the captain troubles to manage his stress and insults everybody (even the "client", I learn some new words there!). I perfectly understand the hierarchy onboard and I was eager to learn sailing. It is the reason why have been disappointed, the captain wasn't able to share positively its competences (as planned - we paid for it). Even if handle being yelled at, I don't like it. If you're willing to join the Ariana Team, I advise you to call the captain and seriously discuss about this. I hope that he has sorted this stress handling problem, it's a nice project. Regards, The tomatoes soup drinker ?

Won't recommend

Hey Crewbay community. After sharing my experience on Ariana I have been adviced to review it here for the safety of next crew. I spent 3 months on that boat, as crew part of the "professional sailing team". Before I and the rest of the crew decided to leave the ship. During these months I have witnessed a lot of stress and confusion from the captain that lead to hard situations sometimes. I have been crewing on various projects/boats before, such NGO's with a modus operandi close to military. I can tell some situations were awkward and sketchy on this boat. First time in my life I saw a karcher dropped from the mast hitting the head of a crew. There is in my opinion something really wrong on Ariana and I won't recommend anyone to embark that ship. Even if most of the time the mood is fine and the hospitality great, stressful situation, even the most casual ones are really bad handled.
