On a sailing voyage we never use the word itinerary, as skippers will always be aiming for the best sailing and shore landings for the forecast and most idyllic or sheltered anchors and ports. They are as keen as you to include some of the highlights describe, but you have to go with Mother Nature, not fight her. The description below is based on what we think might be possible, based on past trips, or experience, but nothing is guaranteed on a sailing voyage. If the following voyage description is not fulfilled for any reason, Maybe Sailing and Maybe Sailing Youth Initiative cannot be held responsible.

Sail the Atlantic from Ponta Delgado in the Azores to Liverpool on this mini ocean adventure on this beautiful three masted expedition tall ship.
You really don’t need any sailing experience as the professional and experienced crew will run through everything from safety drills to how to pull ropes efficiently, find the right halliard or steer the 144ft schooner. You don’t even have to be super strong just bags of enthusiasm to sail a traditional commercially coded ocean voyager.
A Mini Atlantic Ocean Passage
The Azores has a rich maritime history and has always been a stopping off point for sailors sailing back across the Atlantic from the Caribbean. The exposed tips of vast underwater mountains, the Azores lie on the nexus of the European, American and African tectonic plates, and they bear witness to the forces forever shaping our planet. This is a world of fumaroles, mudpots and scalding springs; of caverns, columns and grottoes formed from once molten rock; of blue lakes ringed by forests of laurel and cedar, and green pastures patterning the slopes of calderas.
Leaving the Portugese shores of the Azores behind, Blue Clipper will set sail again for the final leg of her journey to Liverpool roughly 1,400 miles! On this voyage, you will be promised dolphins and whale sightings as you crusade through the ocean. Just imagine, waking up in your cabin after your watch to the smell of freshly cooked bread and one of the crew members alterting everyone that a pod of dolphins are playing along the side of the ship! Grab that camera and get on deck!
As you sail into Liverpool, there will be a whole host of mixed emotions as the voyage comes to an end. Once ashore, those emotions can be toasted to celebrate new achievements and friends!
