now is your chance to complete a crossing that few get to achieve. join the crew of argo this spring and sail across the atlantic from the caribbean to the mediterranean.
There can be no passengers aboard for this voyage. Every team member must become a part of the working crew, rotating positions from taking the helm and standing their watch to provisioning and cooking for their team.
It will be challenging at times, yet our professional crew
will be there to instruct and guide you through. And when the
lines are finally tied to the dock, your sense of achievement
will be immense. We’ll split the crossing into two primary legs and crew members can enroll for either or both legs.
Joining the vessel in Antigua, the crew will make ready and depart on or around April 30, bound for Gibraltar. This 3,400nm, blue water passage will not only build significant miles but also provide experience in extended cruising and open water crossings. Starting with the wind just forward of our starboard beam this promises to be an exhilarating passage.
The crew arriving in this British overseas territory will have just about enough time to visit the Barbary Apes who make the "rock" their home before heading east along Spain's Costa Del Sol and then north, past the Balearic islands of Mallorca and Menorca to the final destination of Nice in the French Riviera.
