55 days – Over 7,000 nautical miles – True blue water adventureSet sail from the windswept Falkland Islands and embark on an epic northbound voyage through the South and North Atlantic.

Making landfall in Horta, Faial, after more than 7,000 miles of open ocean, you’ll have truly sailed across two oceans and through every mood the sea can offer.This voyage is about endurance, simplicity, and connection—to the wind, the waves, and each other.

Check the voyage itinerary
Approaching the Falkland Islands by sea, you are met by wide, wind-swept coasts, open bays, and a feeling of real remoteness at the edge of the South Atlantic. Nearby, visitors can look out for rolling green hills, seabirds, and the small harbours and settlements that give the islands their quiet, rugged character.
Approaching St Helena, you arrive at a small harbour beneath steep volcanic slopes, with whitewashed houses climbing the hillside and a dramatic, isolated Atlantic setting. Nearby, you can explore the quiet streets of the old town and enjoy rugged coastal views that give the island a remote, timeless atmosphere.
Despite the name, these coordinates point to the coast of Galicia in north-west Spain, near A Coruña rather than the Azores islands. Arriving by ship, you can expect a busy Atlantic harbour backed by green hills and headlands, with broad sea views and the city’s waterfront and beaches to explore nearby.
Arriving in Horta, you come into one of the Azores’ classic harbours, with a lively marina, low whitewashed town, and the blue outline of Pico rising across the channel on clear days. A short walk from the port brings you to waterfront cafés, painted harbour walls, and broad views of the volcanic island landscape that gives this stop its calm but adventurous Atlantic feel.
