About This Trip
Prepare for an exhilarating offshore challenge as you embark on the first leg of our 2026 sailing season: a direct, non-stop passage from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to the iconic New York City skyline! This approximately 530-nautical-mile voyage, expected to take 4 to 5 days, is designed to immerse you fully in the rhythms and demands of true ocean sailing. Your adventure begins with arrival at the boat after 3:00 PM on June 5th or before 2:00 PM on June 6th. We'll then set sail on June 7, setting a course north. You'll sail strategically around the formidable Frying Pan Shoals, Cape Lookout, and the legendary Cape Hatteras—a region famously known as "The Graveyard of the Atlantic." This is an unparalleled opportunity to navigate these historically significant and challenging waters, honing your skills in a truly dynamic environment. The journey culminates in a breathtaking arrival in New York Harbor, where you'll sail directly to the Statue of Liberty to anchor behind her for the night, a truly unforgettable experience. As a valued working crew member, you are not just a participant; you are an essential part of the vessel's operation every step of the way. You will actively engage in all facets of the journey, fostering deep learning and practical skill development. This includes adhering to a proper watch schedule, gaining hands-on experience in steering and helming, and mastering the art of trimming sails for optimal performance in open ocean conditions. You'll gain practical knowledge in navigation, meticulous weather monitoring, and the crucial task of recording logbook information. Daily life aboard will also involve contributing to cooking and cleaning, ensuring the smooth operation of the sailboat.
