Dreaming of offshore sailing but lack experience?  Maybe even joining one of the Cruising Rallies and would rather be your own captain than have to hire one?  We can help!!

 Now you can join an experienced Captain and Crew aboard the sailing yacht 'Sophisticated Lady' for the adventure of a lifetime!

Discover the thrill of ocean passagemaking and making landfall in the beautiful islands of the Caribbean.  You will discover exactly what it takes to prepare a boat for offshore passagemaking...  provisioning, watch schedules, meal preparation at sea, night watches, etc.  

This year we are proud to offer 'Sophisticated Lady' for offshore training with several of the Atlantic Cruising Rallies!  We have several different packages designed around getting you the experience you need.  You'll be able to join the yacht in an exotic location to assist with preparation for offshore passagemaking prior to departure, offering you the chance to learn more about what it takes to get a vessel ready for the challenges of offshore sailing!

This Sailing Adventure gives sailing individuals (and most importantly, sailing couples!) the chance to gain valuable experience on the ocean, including night sailing, before taking their own boat offshore or in one of the rallies.  The price per person for a 2 week offshore adventure is $2500US all-inclusive (excepting departure and arrival taxes).

Last year 'Sophisticated Lady' won 3 awards in the Cruising Rally, including 2nd in class, 1st in Jeanneau overall, and the Tempest Trophy for assisting with a rescue at sea!  You'll find no shortage of adventure here... and you'll also find we prefer to use our sails as much as possible and can help you learn the art of following weather charts and currents to maximum advantage... It's all part of the experience!

There are only 6 shared berths available for these Sailing Adventure, so please enquire for more information and to reserve your space aboard for these fantastic adventures!!  We look forward to hearing from you and meeting you aboard 'Sophisticated Lady' for your Caribbean Adventure of a Lifetime!!
