Your possible stops during this cruise

Program of your internship from Brittany to the West Indies :

STAGE 1: CROUESTY - LISBON: from 09/25/25 to 10/04/25 - 1800 EUR/person
Sailing to Lisbon from the port of Le Crouesty involves two types of navigation:
A 3-4 day ocean crossing of the Bay of Biscay towards Galicia.
Extraordinary offshore sailing with night watches, short-handed maneuvers and a magnificent arrival in the famous port of La Coruña. An arrival in the capital of Galicia, with its historic center and typically Spanish tapas bars, is always a unique moment to experience as a sailor after a "trans-Gascony".
For the second part, we'll sail south along the Galician coast. Galicia offers a multitude of well-sheltered, natural and unspoilt anchorages in magnificent surroundings. We'll then head south towards Lisbon.
Arriving in Lisbon is another highlight for any sailor, with its rich history and lively city.
Day 1: Getting to grips with the yacht, preparing and defining the route, working on safety.
