Sailing opportunity from Colombia
My name is Yvonne, I am a 36 year old German traveler.
Three years ago, I first heard about crossing the Atlantic hitchhiking on a sailboat, and the idea immediately fascinated me.
One year later in 2022 I joined my first boat in Greece. Since then, I have logged approximately 9,000 nautical miles on 29 different boats. The length of my stays varied from just a few days to as long as five months. The longest passages were Gibraltar to Lanzarote, Porto Santo to Rota, Portimão to Porto Santo, Las Palmas to Mindelo and Mindelo to Barbados.
I accompanied solo sailors, couples and a family with a 2,5 year old daughter, assisted on a refit, had some time in a winter marina, two deliveries and boat sitted.
Until the end of May, I'll be on a boat, eventually arriving in Colombia. After that, I'm planning to explore a bit on land before heading back to the water. I'm keeping an eye out for opportunities along the way—nothing's set in stone yet. Maybe I'll return to the Caribbean next season.
I speak German and English fluently, don’t smoke, have no special dietary requirements, and genuinely enjoy cooking. I also appreciate spending time around children and am happy to assist with boat maintenance whenever needed.
When I’m not sailing, I spend most of my time hiking, discovering new places, and capturing moments through photography. I feel most at home in nature, prefer it over cities, and I never get tired of watching sunsets.

Sailed with me for 3 months
Yvonne boarded the boat as Crew in Las Palmas Gran Canaria down to Cabo Verde and over the Atlantic to Barbados, Tobago and Grenada where she disembarked the boat. We where only to on the boat and got along well. She has no problem taking watches and handling the boat. She is happy to learn things she doesn’t know and has no problem to help with the Chores onboard. On shore she is a good to have gathering information on destinations and like to explore and do hikes. During her stay I enjoyed her company and can recommend her sailing with you Mvh Fredrik
