Looking to build serious offshore miles and real passage experience?
We have a spot available on SY Seafinn (56ft Formosa ketch) for our North Atlantic crossing from the Bahamas to Canada — a proper offshore leg designed for those who want to learn, stand watches, and be part of a functioning crew at sea.

Route: Nassau (Bahamas) → Halifax (Canada)
Distance: ~1,500+ NM
Time at sea: ~14–17 days continuously (weather dependent)

? What you’ll gain
Continuous watch system (day & night)
Real offshore routines and teamwork
Navigation & weather awareness
Sail handling on a heavy offshore ketch
Experience with fatigue management, decision-making, and life at sea
Ideal for anyone working toward Yachtmaster, building confidence offshore, or preparing for longer ocean crossings.
⛵ Life onboard
6–8 people total including us
Everyone is active crew: helming, trimming, watches, cooking, cleaning
Collaborative, positive team dynamic
English is the working language
⚠️ Important

Life changing experience
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
