Transatlantic course from Hyères to Martinique by catamaran

Your cruise

Departing from Hyères, you'll board the BALI 4.6 and head WEST, crossing the Mediterranean, passing Gilbraltar and heading for the Canaries!
Interesting navigation, with watchkeeping and night sailing. Passing through the busy strait will give you the chance to experience a different side of watchkeeping from the one you might see on a transatlantic crossing, for example.
Arriving in Tenerife, you'll take on new trainees before heading WEST.
From the volcanic landscapes of the Canaries - Tenerife, you'll cast off for the great adventure of crossing the Atlantic on a superb catamaran!
Head due west, carried by the trade winds, those tropical winds that have guided sailors to the West Indies for centuries.
For three weeks at sea, far from land, you'll share watches, observe the stars like never before, and feel the raw power of the ocean. It's a chance to hone your nautical skills and live the unique experience of a transatlantic crossing to the full: cruising at pace, adapting to the elements, living as a community in the middle of the infinite blue.
Finally, you'll approach Martinique's lush green hills, and dock at the port of Le Marin, with your head full of memories.
