This sailing trip from the east coast around Cape Fontur takes us to the world capital of whale watching. We have 10 days to experience bays, capes, landscapes and, of course, the flora and fauna of Iceland.

We sail in one of the most remote areas of Europe. Iceland forms the north-western outpost of our continent and has a pristine and natural beauty of the highest order.

We sail in the challenging tidal waters, observe whales, seals and eagles, identify animals and plants and hike along miles of deserted beaches. A visit to a pub or two is also on the program.

We sail on a high-level expedition yacht of the type “GARCIA EXPLORATION 52”. This yacht was designed by probably the most famous and experienced English circumnavigator (founder of the ARC and several other ocean races) and is only built to order in Cherbourg.

And because we are sailing instructors, there is no shortage of instruction and training activities on any of our sailing trips if this is requested by the crew.
