  • Crossing into the Arctic Circle is a rite of passage few get to experience ⚓✨ During our Blue Nose Ceremony, Skipper Ineke read Neptune’s message, clearing our crew for safe passage through the realm of ice and cold. A moment of tradition, adventure, and connection on the open sea 🌊⛵ Would you brave the Arctic waters? 👇 #SailingLife #ArcticCircle #BlueNoseCeremony #Panexplore #SVSeaDragon #OceanAdventure #SailingCommunity #WomenWhoSail #ExpeditionSailing #MaritimeTradition
  • We’re delighted to welcome August Race @augustrace as a Panexplore partner! Every expedition leaves an impact, and choosing the right products is one of the ways we can help minimise ours. August Race creates cleaning products specifically designed with the marine environment in mind, and is the only cleaning product range compliant with MARPOL Annex V. As we travel through remote waters and spend more time offshore, we believe looking after the places we visit should be part of every expedition. That means making thoughtful choices about the equipment, products and practices we bring on board. We’re proud to partner with August Race as we continue exploring with a greater focus on protecting the marine environments that make these adventures possible. Here’s to cleaner boats, cleaner waters and many more miles of responsible exploration. 🌊⛵ #Panexplore #LifeAtSea #ExpeditionSailing #SailingInstagram #SailingGear #Partnership
  • ✨ Celestial navigation is one of the oldest ways to find your way at sea, and there’s nothing quite like putting it into practice offshore. Join us for an offshore passage and work towards qualifying for your Ocean Yachtmaster while developing your celestial navigation skills along the way. We’ll have sextants and all the required documentation onboard, with our Skipper and 1st Mate on hand to coach you through taking your sights and putting them to use. Feeling ready for more responsibility? You may even get the chance to take charge for 24 hours and see if you can navigate us to where we want to go! Ready to put your skills to the test? 👉 DM us to find out more and request our availabilities. #Panexplore #Sailing #Adventure #SailingInstagram #CharterYacht
  • Before GPS, sailors relied on the stars, the sun, and a sextant to find their way across vast ocean stretches. 🧭✨ Here’s a quick 1-minute breakdown of how this classic instrument works onboard SV Sea Dragon during Yachtmaster training!

  • Exceptional opportunity to meet the team at @rorcracing Cowes Clubhouse on October 1st at 1800 BST for a Talk about how we operate SV Sea Dragon - a Challenge 72 yacht refitted to sail around the world without a dedicated maintenance team nor home port or container. Being commercially coded Cat 0 by the UK MCA while flagged in the Cayman Islands and owned by a US company is always a joy, that’s before we start working on our 110V system, with our UK supplied engine, our british sized jammers and our US-sized lines. We had to identify a network of reliable and expert contractors, a gigantic servicing calendar that competes with a ballet dancing sheet and our very own app to manage all our boat systems, inventory and maintenance log. We’ll open up our black box of operational genius that makes us look like we effortlessly run a truly global expedition yacht!

  • We get asked the questions all.the.time! Will they be safe on the world’s toughest oceans 🌊⚡ SV Sea Dragon was designed to conquer extreme conditions, heavy seas, and gale-force winds with strength and reliability. When nature turns up the dial, she’s right in her element. Ready to experience true offshore expedition sailing?

  • Sometimes, the most meaningful adventures begin with simply saying yes. Stepping aboard for an expedition offers the chance to do something different: challenge yourself, experience something new and make space for an experience that’s entirely your own. This review is a beautiful reminder that adventure doesn’t have to wait for the “right” time. Sometimes, saying yes to yourself is the challenge worth taking. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re honoured to have been part of your journey and hope this is just the beginning of many more adventures ahead. 🌊⛵ #Panexplore #SailTheWorld #DreamTravel #OceanAdventures #SailingInstagram
  • We're connected to everything all the time. Notifications, schedules, emails, news, endless scrolling. Then you step on board. The days become simpler. Your attention shifts. Conversations get longer. Sunrises matter again. And somewhere between the watches, the ocean, and the quiet moments in between, you remember what it feels like to be fully present. #Panexplore #DisconnectToReconnect #LifeAtSea #SailingAdventure #AdventureTravel #OceanLife #ExploreMore #SlowTravel
  • Every expedition depends on equipment you can trust when conditions become unpredictable. We're pleased to highlight @spinlockhq lifejackets and Ocean Signal Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs), safety equipment designed to support offshore sailors in some of the world's most demanding environments. Built with reliability and performance in mind, these systems provide an extra layer of confidence, helping crews stay prepared while exploring remote waters where safety is always a priority. It's partnerships like these that strengthen every expedition, combining trusted equipment with experienced seamanship to support safer adventures at sea. #Panexplore #LifeAtSea #ExpeditionSailing #SailingInstagram #SailingGear

  • "With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts." ― Eleanor Roosevelt 🌅 Sunrise at sea is more than the start of another day.

Quiet, simple, and unforgettable, they stay with you long after you've returned to shore. #Panexplore #SailTheWorld #OceanAdventures #SailingInstagram #TrySomethingNew
