Some pretty breathtaking footage from the 7 to 11 evening and morning watches on our North Atlantic crossing. Sunsets and sunrises at sea are on another level! We’re getting closer to the end of our voyage and really are just taking in all the experiences that we can before we arrive. 🌅😍🌊 #adventure #sunrise #northatlanticocean #oceansailing #venturesailholidays

Sailing from the Caribbean towards the UK has been an adventure for sure! We started with shorts and t-shirts weather and as the days have gone by, we’ve all gradually started collecting more and more layers of clothing.☀️ 🌧️ The high street better watch out, as the Blue Clipper Crew adorned in waterproofs are on their way! 👀 🧥 #sailingadventure #tallshipsailing #sunnydaysatsea #bucketlisttrip #atlanticcrossing

Our time in Horta has come to an end, unfortunately. We arrived about a week ago, having sailed straight from Saint Martin in the Caribbean. We went alongside as soon as we reached Horta in Faial. ⛵️😁 Our week ashore was filled with lots of activities. We got the chance to hike some volcanos, climb the masts, enjoy the local restaurants and bars and also carried out some jobs onboard. We chatted to the crews from the other tall ships that were in the harbour as well! We set off from the Azores yesterday morning and with good winds we are sailing North. 🌋📷🤙 #atlanticcrosaing #sailingship #adventure #azores #tallshipcrew

Sailing across the Atlantic is an incredible achievement. We have had a great group onboard for this crossing. We’ve gotten stuck into deck jobs, knot and rope work and many many more nautical feats. The crossing was full of breathtaking sunsets, magical moments, glorious food and amazing company! Here are some photos from the last few days! #atlanticcrossing #sailingboat #brasso #sunset #satisfying

We would be lying if we said swimming in 5000 meters of water wasn’t eerie, but definitely one ticketed off the bucket list! 🏊‍♂️ We are currently sailing towards the Azores, in the middle of the North Atlantic. A high pressure system has caught up with us, leaving us in a bit of a wind hole. What better to do than to go for a dip! Here’s some footage of our swimmers having a refreshing dip after sailing nonstop for the last while. ⛵️ 🌊 #bucketlistchecked✔️ #adventure #adventuresailing #atlanticcrossing #experienceofalifetime✨

Sailing onboard a tall ship means that everyday is different. You get into the routine of watches on an ocean passage, but every watch can bring something unexpected and or exciting. ⛵️ Here’s some words from one of our guests sailing with us at the moment. We have less than 900 miles left to sail, before we hopefully reach the Azores. 💃 This footage is from one of the many magical sunsets that we have had over the past few weeks. 🌅 #venturesailholidays #atlanticcrossing #adventure #blueclipper #maybesailing

⛵ Safety First at Sea. The First Lesson on Tall Ship Blue Clipper! Before a single sail is hoisted and the ship catches the wind, there’s one tradition that always comes first on board a Tall Ship: safety. When sail trainees Kaemoy and Preston stepped aboard the Tall Ship Blue Clipper @maybesailing , their journey into traditional sailing began not with ropes and sails, but with a full safety briefing, an essential part of life at sea. On traditional sailing vessels, every crew member has a role and every piece of equipment has a purpose. They were introduced to key gear used by Tall Ship sailors, including inflatable PFDs worn at night or in heavy weather, safety harnesses used when climbing aloft or working near the bowsprit, and immersion suits designed to protect against cold water. And of course, no safety training is complete without a little challenge! Preston had everyone smiling as he raced to put on his immersion suit in under two minutes! 🌊 Keeping Maritime Heritage Alive This experience is part of the “Set Sail in the Wake of Tradition” program by the @caribwishfoundation , which is designed to give young Caribbean sailors hands-on experience aboard traditional vessels. We extend our sincere thanks to the Captain and Crew of the Blue Clipper and the team at @maybesailing for opening their decks and sharing their knowledge with the next generation of mariners. This opportunity is made possible through collaboration with @caribbeansailtraining and sponsorship from Sailing International @tallshipsraces , whose continued support helps young Caribbean sailors experience life aboard traditional ships. We’re excited to continue this journey together, and we can’t wait to welcome the Blue Clipper back to Antigua next year! 📲 Follow us on Facebook & Instagram for more updates about our sailing program. 🌐 Learn more about sail training in Antigua: and link in the bio! #SailTraining #SafetyatSea #CaribbeanSailTraining #TallShipAdventure #BlueClipper #WestIndiesSailHeritageFoundation #SailTrainingInternational #MaybeSailing #FutureMariners

We are a week into our Atlantic crossing Eastbound and as you may be able to tell from these photos, we have had so much fun already! From stunning sunrises and sunsets to learning the ropes onboard everyone has been pulling their weight and getting used to life at sea. 🌅🌊 We have a crew of 19 people onboard in total and have now settled into the watch schedule. We have caught a Mahi Mahi so far, which has been a highlight for sure. We have played around with different sails and configurations and for the most part have been cruising along comfortably at about 8 knots. ⛵️🤙 We’ve celebrated the small things onboard, like finishing an eye splice in a line to the bigger life milestone, such as a special birthday. With so such time to get to know each other we have quickly become comfortable living and working together.🎉🎂 #sunset #atlanticcrossing #tallshipsailing #sunrise☀️ #adventure

Here we go! Today we spent the morning doing our final preparations for the Atlantic Crossing Eastbound. We got our last bits of food onboard and did some more drills, like man overboard. We have also celebrated deckhand Shauna’s birthday today!⛵️⚓️🤙🏼 On another note we wanted to say a massive thanks to @caribbeansailtraining for their support whilst we have been here in the Caribbean over the winter months. We truly value the collaboration and the fantastic friendship that has grown between our teams over the season. 🙏😁🥳 Their support and guidance are fundamental to Blue Clipper and to Maybe Sailing. We’re very grateful for everything they have done and are very much looking forward to continuing to work together in the future. Fair winds and here’s to many more adventures ahead! ⛵🌴
