What to expect

Sail aboard a proven Volvo Ocean 65 with an experienced offshore crew and fully participate in the 4-hour watch system during this 12–18 day adventure.

As a crew member, you’ll join a tight-knit team of a total of 14 sailors from diverse backgrounds, all united by a shared goal: racing across the Atlantic on a high-performance VO65. This is a hands-on role – every sailor takes part in 4-hour watch rotations, including helming, trimming, sail changes, navigation, galley duty, and more. Whether you’re building miles, pushing limits, or chasing a dream, you’ll be fully immersed in the offshore racing lifestyle – supported by 4 professionals who value teamwork, safety, and adventure.

Whilst the intended destination is Scheveningen, The Netherlands, this is dependant on spring weather and so it may be necessary to divert to another suitable European port such as the Azores, Portugal, or the UK.

This is a rare chance to experience true offshore sailing on a world-class race yacht.

Itinerary

Exact dates to be confirmed. This passage will follow-on from the Heineken regatta which ends on March 9th when the yacht is ready and weather permits. The passage should take approx. 12-18 days.
