Blue water sailing! English Channel, Celtic Sea and North Atlantic

Plymouth has a special significance in the history of the Eye of the Wind, as it was here that the circumnavigation began in 1978 as part of a scientific expedition under the patronage of Prince – now King – Charles. Now the English port city is the starting point for a two-week Atlantic voyage. The all-encompassing ocean provides fresh sailing winds and healthy sea air. 14 days on board and at sea – time for you to experience an unforgettable active vacation under sail and at the same time get to know the ship as a place of peace and relaxation. Our destination is Madeira, the colorful “flower island” in the Atlantic.
