Join Twister in Tenerife, Marina San Miguel on January 6th 2020 for an unforgettable 32 day expedition that will see you travel from Spain to Trinidad and Tobago. We highly recommend you get hands on with setting the sails, steering the ship, keeping watch and more though it will be possible to join as a passenger for this voyage if you simply wish to relax onboard. No experience is required to be able to join either and the permanent crew will be on hand to make sure you know all the information you need to in good time.

Your voyage will feature a mix of Inshore & Coastal, Ocean Crossing and Ocean Passage sailing. Ocean crossings under traditional sail is far from easy. Ocean passages can bring conditions fit for only the boldest adventurers seeking the ultimate challenge.

Are you thinking of taking a gap year….? Or do you really feel like taking a break? Have you just stopped with your study or do you want to orientate on a new step in your life because of other reasons? What do you think about travelling the world’s seas as a part of the crew of a sailing vessel?

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!
