Departing in Funchal and arriving in Ponta Delgada, this ocean crossing of CA 600 Nm is meant for the more experienced sailor who has already made a crossing. For example, a channel crossing. The crossing takes about 5 days in which everyone participates in the guards, the cooking and the life on board. 
Since we always schedule the departure based on a suitable weather pattern, we ask all participants to respect the planned boarding and disembark dates.
The waiting time before or after arrival can be generously spent on both Madeira and the island of Sao Miguel. Both Funchal and Ponta Delgada are easily accessible by plane.
