November offers a rare and exciting opportunity for a transatlantic crossing to the Caribbean, with ideal winds and temperatures for an unforgettable sailing adventure.
Trade Winds:
As the hurricane season winds down, the trade winds in November begin to strengthen. These winds, blowing from the east-northeast, create consistent and reliable sailing conditions, making this the perfect time to journey from the east to the Caribbean. Based on real-time weather conditions, we’ll adapt our route to ensure the best possible sailing experience.
The Barefoot Route:
This crossing is often referred to as the Barefoot Route, named for the generally relaxed and easy sailing conditions which can be expected along the way. Enjoy the simplicity and freedom of life at sea as you make your way toward the warm, welcoming shores of the Caribbean.
You do not need any sailing experience in order to join our Atlantic Crossing. You will become part of the Crew and learn and will gain experience along the way.
You’ll Cross Several Time Zones ⏰
As you head west, the time will shift about one hour every 15° of longitude, meaning you’ll have to adjust your clocks back by around 4-5 hours before reaching the Caribbean.
Your First Sight of Land Will Be Unforgettable 🏝️🥂
After weeks at sea, spotting the first palm-fringed island—often Barbados, St. Lucia, or Martinique—is an emotional and exhilarating moment. Many crews celebrate their arrival with a fresh tropical drink and a swim in the turquoise waters.
The Sky Is Unlike Anything You’ve Ever Seen ✨
With zero light pollution, the night sky in the middle of the Atlantic is breathtaking. The Milky Way stretches across the horizon, shooting stars streak through the dark, and you can even see passing satellites.
Flying Fish Will “Attack” Your Deck 🐟💨
The warm Atlantic waters are home to countless flying fish, which sometimes miscalculate their jumps and land on deck at night. Sailors often wake up to find them scattered across the boat!
Did you know that Christopher Columbus’ first transatlantic voyage in 1492 followed almost the exact same route as we will take when crossing from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean?
