    • Checked in 4 hours ago

Amsterdam - Plymouth => 470 nm

3.10. -> 12.10. Only one space left!
We are crossing the English Channel and sailing along on the british coastline. Starting Saturday morning at the Ijsselmeer in Lelystad, passing Amsterdam to the sealock Ijmuiden. Then depending on the direction of the wind, either to Felixstowe or down to Vlissingen. Dover and the Isle of Wight with famous Cowes are there for a short visit. The route is planned as daytime sailing starting early, but we have to calculate the tidal streams. That trip is a mixture of everything: Mile building, delivery, racing?, making new friends, visiting famous ports and staying at anchor. Maybe one night sailing in a shift system, everything is possible. You need your own foul weather gear, just in case. Automatic lifevests have had a new check and we carry a 10-person-liferaft, epirb and iridium-tracker.
To cover a percentage of the running costs and to be fair to my other sailing friends i have to ask for a daily rate of 50€ for a shared cabin with own bathroom. Provisions and Harbourfees are split in equal shares between us. I pay the diesel alone.

Crossing the channel and cruising south English coast

5

I had a great time wit Lars crossing the channel and cruising south English coast. I had very little sailing experience but that was not an issue, i enjoyed the trip very much. Lars is an excellent sailor and host. The boat is well maintained and in good condition. I would recommend sailing on Lupita to anyone.

Crossing the North Sea

Lupita is a wonderful boat to sail, she was extremely comfortable and Lars keeps her in really beautiful condition. I really enjoyed crossing the North Sea from Dover, England and then hugging the French, Belgian and Dutch coast all the way to Amsterdam. Lars is a kind, supportive skipper who took the time to explain and train me in the things I asked him about. I felt my personal safety was well respected onboard and for women sailing - I felt very safe and warmly welcomed aboard.

Lupita !!! Beautifull experience !!

5

Dover - Amsterdam I had the pleasure of sailing with Lars on his sailboat for and it was a fantastic experience. The boat is equipped with all necessary safety measures and is also quite comfortable in rough seas. Lars is very competent and has great knowledge about all the things needed to keep a boat afloat and moving. His professionalism and knowledge made the trip not only safe but also very enjoyable. Arriving to Amsterdam during Sail happens once in life ! Thank you for this opportunity Lars ! Keep going ! Salud amigo !

Sailing with Lars on Lupita was a great experience. The boat is modern, safe and equipped with everything you could need and more! Lars is a skilled skipper who combines a passion for adventure with a strong focus on safety and crew wellbeing. He’s positive, organised, great at bringing people together and keeping morale high. We had an unforgettable week on the water and hope to sail together again in the future!

I've sailed on Lupita from Póvoa do Varzim to Coruña. It's a excellent boat, well maintained but the must it's the captain. Lars it's a excellent captain, that takes safes decisions, and always try to make crew happy. I hope to meet Lars again.

Fun!

Awesome week with Lars sailing the Greek Islands. We had lots of fun navigating the rather stormy weather window that we were handed. Lars is certainly a capable sailer, esp through such conditions and he's great teacher with endless knowledge. He really comes alive when sailing and I learnt so much. No doubt I'll see Lars again for more adventures, great food and lots of laughs.

I had the honor to sail with Lars from Benalmadena (Malaga) to Mallorca (balearic islands) It was a cosmic experience that words can not describe ​Lars is a great skipper, he knows his ropes while staying a cool calm and fun person ! ​Lupita is a modern, super comfortable and fully equipped sailing yacht ​ Gastronomy on board was fenomenal ​ (ask to see the boat's knife sharppener) The crew Lars formed for this leg was so united that we foremed friendship for life ! Highly recommended experience ! Thank you Lars (Monica, Toni) for making it so Special !

Two weeks sailing around the Canary Islands

I had an amazing experience sailing with Lars and the rest of the crew. Lupita is well equipped and maintained, with all the safety gear and everything you need to enjoy days on the sea. Captain Lars is an experienced sailor willing to share his knowledge. Easy-going and a very pleasant company. During our 2 weeks sailing we always felt safe and lived confortably. Strongly recommended!
