Highlights of this voyage

Setting sail from Tenerife to the Falkland Islands

Embark on a voyage that takes you from the North Atlantic into the South Atlantic, crossing the equator and celebrating the festive season in the vastness of the open ocean. Join Neptune’s court as you cross the equator, partaking in the age-old seafarer tradition of earning your place in the realm of the sea.

Sailing across an ocean is a magical and transformative experience. With the rhythm of the waves and the steady pace of the ship, you’ll find time slows down, allowing you to immerse yourself in a good book, keep a detailed journal, enhance your seamanship skills, or simply enjoy the serenity of life at sea.

This epic journey begins in the Canary Islands, on the Northern Hemisphere, and takes you to the remote and windswept Falkland Islands, deep in the Southern Hemisphere. You’ll start your adventure from the bustling, sunny shores of the Canary Islands and head south, leaving the familiar behind for the uncharted wonders of the South Atlantic.

As you make your way, you’ll ride the Brazil Current southward, carefully staying offshore to avoid the counterflow of the Malvinas Current. The climate will shift as you journey south: warm coastal breezes will give way to cooler southern winds. Summer will be in full swing in the Southern Hemisphere, but don’t let that fool you—by the time you reach the Falklands, a sweater or two will still come in handy!

Christmas and New Years Celebrations

What makes this voyage truly special is the celebration of Christmas and New Year’s aboard the Tecla. Imagine sharing a festive dinner under a star-studded sky, surrounded by the endless expanse of the ocean, and ringing in the New Year with the ship’s crew and your fellow adventurers. It’s a holiday season unlike any other—one filled with the spirit of adventure, camaraderie, and the timeless beauty of the open sea.

As you approach the Falkland Islands, the landscape will become more rugged, and the wildlife more abundant. This voyage offers an incredible opportunity to experience a wide variety of marine life, shifting climates, and the pure joy of long-distance sailing.

Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or new to life at sea, this unforgettable journey will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. Celebrate the holidays in the most unique way imaginable—under sail, crossing oceans, and discovering new horizons.

Itinerary

Day 1 : Welcome on board at 18:00h. First safety instructions and introduction of crew and expedition members

Day 2 : As we are leaving the European Union, we will clear out of Tenerife, which makes it hard to visit any of the other Canary Islands. If possible we will make one extra stop, if not, we will sail straight into the Trade winds 

Day 3-44 : Crossing two oceans, meeting Neptune while crossing the equator, getting into the rhythm of the North and South Atlantic Ocean. 

Day 45-47 : Clearing into the Falkland Islands and applying for a cruising permit, if we arrive earlier than expected! 

Days on board will be filled with watches. Depeding on the size of the group, you will be divided into watches. Each watch has their own responsibilities on board. Baking bread, washing out the trash and minimizing its space usage. Steering, lookout etc is also included into your watch. For those who are willing, there will be work on the rigging and sails when ever possible.
