ARC Transatlantic (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers)

Your cruise

Come aboard with a professional crew for an exceptional transatlantic crossing!
Cross the Atlantic as part of the ARC (Atlantique Rally for Cruisers) , rallies that bring together over 300 yachts. Amateurs and professionals alike take part in these 20-day transatlantic races.

The start of these transatlantic races is in the Canary Islands.
Disembarkation is in the Caribbean, in Saint Lucia for the Arc.
In the 1st stage, the pro crew proposes that you embark from Lorient to moor up and sail for 10 days to the Canaries, where the races start.
You'll then be put on sailing watches (around 8 hours a day), and you'll be able to fine-tune life on board with the other participants (stewardship, etc.) before the start of the race. A transatlantic crossing is a real challenge, a feat of life that attracts more and more adventurers.
Embarking on these voyages means joining a crew of 10 amateurs, supervised by 2 professional sailors, aboard a 21-meter monohull. These challenging crossings require everyone to contribute to the running of the sailboat, and of course to show solidarity!

ARC in a Challenge 67 tall ship: 9/11/25 - 8/12/25 - 11000€/person all inclusive
sTAGE 1: LORIENT → LAS PALMAS: 08/11/25 -> 17/11/25 (10 days)
Departing from Lorient, you board the yacht for 10 days of intense ocean sailing (crew arrive the day before departure). During this first leg, you will be subject to navigation watches. The yacht does not use a pilot or furler. So you'll really be challenged on the high seas! For those wishing to take part in the ARC, this is an excellent way to get your bearings on board! For others, these 10 days are ideal for experiencing the intense sensations of sailing, and perfecting your sailing skills.
sTAGE 2: LAS PALMAS → SAINTE-LUCIE: 11/23/25 -> 12/8/24 (Approx. 15 days)
You are expected in Las Palmas. This is followed by a week of festivities before the transatlantic race departs. Make the most of the pre-competition atmosphere!
A village is set up for a week and entertainment takes place before the start of the race.
On D-Day, 300 yachts and 1,800 crew of 20 different nationalities will set sail. You'll then embark on a 20-day crossing (this is an estimate, depending on the trade winds). After crossing the Atlantic, you'll disembark in St. Lucia. With this extraordinary challenge engraved in your memory, you'll be able to catch a flight back to France.
