Come along on a dream trip across the Atlantic
Do you dare take the leap?
The adventure of a lifetime
Sailing across the Atlantic is a nerve-wracking adventure which many dream of, but not everyone manages to make the journey over to the Caribbean a reality. With More Sailing, we can make it happen! Every year we sail across the Atlantic with experienced crews, well-equipped boats and a place in the well-known Atlantic Rally for Cruisers. Join us on a memorable journey where adventure, camaraderie and experiences are at the top of the list.

Make your dreams come true
Sail across the Atlantic with a skipper
Take the chance to realise your dreams and sail across the Atlantic, together with us here at More Sailing. For over ten years, we have sailed many boats annually from Las Palmas in Gran Canaria to Saint Lucia in the Caribbean. We offer a worry-free and safe way to make this adventure a reality with like-minded people.
When you sail with us, experienced onboard staff will take care of all the planning and preparation before making the crossing. You will quickly become part of the crew and the community on board; meanwhile, you will be spared the responsibility of having an entire crew, and you’ll be able to sail across the Atlantic without needing your own boat. Book a single berth, or go for the entire boat if you’re in a larger group.
Why More Sailing?
Five weeks of adventure

The whole adventure will take five weeks in total from when you land in Las Palmas to your journey back from the Caribbean. During that time, sailing will be punctuated with festivities, lectures and practical training. Make a new group of friends and form lifelong memories.

For a safer crossing
Taking part in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers
We take part in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) – an amicable sailing race or squadron sailing across the Atlantic for both family sailors and seasoned sailors who want to cross the Atlantic in a safer way. Every year, between 200 and 300 boats take part in the ARC, which sets off from Gran Canaria at the end of November. The boats then reunite on the other side of the Atlantic, on the island of Saint Lucia in the Caribbean.
The ARC is held by the World Cruising Club which organises several different sailing events around the world. All boats that are to take part in their event must meet the World Cruising Club’s safety restrictions and must undergo an inspection by one of their representatives before it begins.
Sailing across the Atlantic as part of such a large group of boats creates a strong sense of camaraderie and safety and allows people to fulfil their dreams of a longer sea voyage. In case any of the boats get damaged or are in need of aid during the crossing, there are many helping hands.
