Step off your cruise ship and onto your own privately chartered sailboat for a bespoke half-day or full-day ocean sail. An expert local skipper guides you through Atlantic waters with total privacy and freedom.
What to expect
Board a well-appointed blue-water sailing yacht with your private skipper and, optionally, a crew member or sommelier for catered voyages. The open Atlantic unfolds with no crowds, no schedules, and no noise beyond wind and waves. Wildlife encounters — dolphins, seabirds, flying fish — are common. Sundowners on deck as you return to port are the signature finale.
Good to know
Book well ahead and specify your cruise ship's all-aboard time so the skipper plans the return accordingly. Bring layers — the Atlantic can be brisk even in summer. Charters can be arranged from Gran Canaria, the Azores, Madeira, and select New England ports depending on your itinerary.
