If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up men and women to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them how to yearn for the vast and endless sea.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Are you thinking of taking a gap year….? Or do you really feel like taking a break? Did you just stop your study or do you want to orientate on a new step in your life because of other reasons? How about travelling the world’s seas as part of the crew of a sailing vessel?
We will be sailing two types of ocean crossings next winter. There is place for twelve enthusiastic people who dare to take a challenge. For about five weeks the wind will tell us where to go: only the departure and arrival date are planned already. Together we set sails, explore the coasts, do research, learn new languages, navigate and have a lot of fun! Will you join us?
You will get a lifetime experience and get to know yourself a lot better! On board you have time to (re-)discover and improve your skills. You will be part of a close team and learn how to take responsibility. You can widen your horizon, literary. Our expedition is a journey of exploration, an ecological challenge and an adventure!

Expeditions
Expedition Horizon I: 6 January – 7 February 2020
After you stepped on board at Tenerife, the weather will only get better. We pull the sails up and go. The trade winds will blow us to the other side of the ocean.
At Tenerife we start by getting to know each other and the ship. Then, we sail away and begin our adventure. We set sails for the Cape Verdean islands and if we have time we will even make a stop there. After this, we cross the Atlantic to the Caribbean. After more or less 21 days we can should ‘Land ahoy!’ when we can see the very first Caribbean island. Then there’s plenty of options. There are a lot of interesting islands to go to. You can think of the Boiling Lakes of Dominica, the mysterious St. Lucia. We end on a southern Caribbean island, Tobago. This is where the expedition will end. As a tanned sailor you will fly back home.
