this is a chance to complete a crossing that few get to achieve. join the crew of argo this spring and sail with us on passage from the british virgin islands to bermuda.

Starting in the idyllic setting of the British Virgin Islands, those signing aboard for this voyage will learn the ropes aboard S/Y Argo as we sail between the islands of Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Guana Island and Sandy Spit. The BVI have long been hailed as a Sailor's Paradise and Diver's Dream and it's easy to see why. The trade winds blow a consistent 10 to 15 knots throughout these protected waters, and below the clear blue waters the reef teems with marine life.

No previous experience is necessary for this trip, so these first few days will really set the scene for what is to come. Once prepared and provisioned, we'll cast Argo's lines and point her bow north, signalling the commencement of the 850nm passage to Bermuda, destination Hamilton.

 

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.

 

The final two days will be spent exploring Bermuda, where you might choose to relax on one of Bermuda's famous pink sandy beaches, go scuba diving on one of her many wrecks or simply celebrate your crew's accomplishment with new-found friends.
