Biscay is now in our wake, Madeira on the horizon — a stretch of water that reminds you why sailors come back to this route again and again. Long rolling swell, 45-knot gusts in the mix, and a crew moving in step with the sea.
What we offer isn’t just “nice weather sailing.”
It’s real seamanship — coastal, offshore, and true Bluewater miles under a steel hull built for crossing oceans.
Our 2025 and 2026 routes will span continents - each passage with its own rhythm, its own coastline, its own story.
No two crossings feel the same.
No two crews are the same.
That’s the beauty of it.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live on the line where chart and horizon meet — this is your invitation.

Women at the Helm | Kristen
Why does an executive leader step onto a 72’ expedition yacht and choose to learn at sea?
Because leadership feels different when you’re not just talking about trust, communication, and courage — you’re living it in real time, in the elements.
This is the first story in a collection of conversations from our Women in Leadership Sailing Weekend — each one filmed onboard SV Sea Dragon with the wind still in their hair and their perspective fresh from the helm.
Kristen shares what brought her here, what she carried home with her, and why stepping outside of the boardroom can bring you closer to the leader you already are.
⚓ More voices to come.
🌊 More perspective from the water.
👀 Stay tuned for the next conversation.

We hope we never get to use it, but we feel safer for it!

Last weekend we hosted our first ever Women in Leadership sailing weekend aboard SV Sea Dragon! It was all about women growing into new reaches of their power — at the helm, on deck, and together.
Sailing teaches leadership in real time: adapting to the wind, trusting your crew, finding strength in every challenge. These women showed up fearless and left even stronger.
