Professional Yacht Delivery: France to Mediterranean 2021
The sailing season is calling, and it’s time for experienced mariners to return to what we do best – navigating the world’s most challenging and rewarding routes.
We’re organizing several professional yacht deliveries starting in February and continuing through spring season. These ocean-to-Mediterranean delivery routes depart from Les Sables d’Olonne or La Rochelle and arrive in Athens, covering approximately 2,700 nautical miles.
The Ultimate Ocean Delivery Experience
This comprehensive delivery covers two distinct sailing environments: 1,000 miles of Atlantic ocean sailing along the Spanish-Portuguese coasts and through the Strait of Gibraltar, followed by 1,700 miles in the southern Mediterranean, passing through the Strait of Messina and Corinth Canal. Expect 20-25 days at sea – a true test of seamanship and endurance.
Professional Skipper Training & Miles Building
This is an exceptional opportunity to gain real offshore sailing experience alongside our expert Captains (MCA Master and RYA YachtMaster qualified). Whether you join as a guest to simply enjoy this incredible journey, or as active crew participating in watches, route planning, and boat preparation – the choice is yours.
For those pursuing professional skipper qualifications or building their maritime CV, our certified captains are authorized to validate your logbook entries. These miles building opportunities are invaluable for career advancement in the charter industry or private yacht sector.
New Catamaran Fleet & Accommodation
You’ll be sailing brand new Lagoon catamarans ranging from 40 to 52 feet, featuring 4+ cabins with private heads. Each participant receives a private double cabin with all necessary comfort amenities.
As this is a professional yacht delivery, we maintain efficient passage-making schedules with favorable weather windows. Stops are minimal and technical only – at properly equipped ports and marinas along the route.
Safety & Health Protocols
All COVID-19 safety precautions and regulations of visited countries will be strictly observed. Our professional crew placement standards ensure experienced, qualified personnel on every delivery.
Limited Availability – Reserve Now
Spots are extremely limited – only one guest per vessel to ensure optimal experience and safety standards.
