This experience, in a nutshell

Are you drawn to the open sea? Join me for a unique week: 7 days of ocean sailing initiation in the stunning Canary Islands, aboard a Pogo 44 – fast, safe and fun.


Start and finish: Marina Rubicón, Lanzarote.


During this trip, we’ll explore islands like La Graciosa, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Tenerife, making longer offshore passages, standing night watches, and learning how to plan routes and trim sails properly.


It’s more than just a holiday: it’s for those who already have some coastal sailing experience and want to make the leap to true offshore sailing. We’ll build miles, learn how to live aboard and feel the power of the Atlantic.


What you’ll learn

✅ Route planning and weather forecasting

✅ Standing watches and night sailing

✅ Advanced sail trim and maneuvers

✅ Use of autopilot and onboard electronics

✅ Living and sharing life offshore


Who is it for?

  • Sailors wanting to move from coastal to offshore sailing
  • Anyone looking to gain real experience and miles
  • Sea lovers seeking an authentic adventure
