Sailing Netherlands to Madeira and/or Madeira to the Canary Islands on a +100 year old 36 Schooner | Ocean Nomads gathering on the Ocean

With Expedition ON, we are sailing from the Netherlands to Madeira (1700 NM | Leg 1 ) and Madeira to the Canary Islands exploring the remote islands in between (350 NM |Leg 2) onboard Twister, a classic 36 meter schooner originally built in 1902.

A hands-on voyage for life together with a likeminded bunch of Ocean Nomads, driven by passion and purpose for the love of the ocean, exploration and creation of a conscious, true, authentic lifestyle.

Expedition ON is an experience unlike anything we’ve ever organized. It’s offshore and on a bigger vessel than our usual flotillas. SV Twister allows us to connect more souls in one place, away from civilization where we disconnect from everything but each other and nature. We’re ON to Adventure, Skill Building, Community, Lifestyle and Impact. On arrival (end of October / early November) in the Canaries we’ll do a raft up with other vessel members in the zone.

Led by our Suzy @oceanpreneur who also joins the voyage.

Departure Leg 1: October 3, 2021 (2 spots left)

Departure Leg 2: October 23, 2021 (4 spots left)

Crewing opportunities come and go and communicating them publicly is beyond our capacity and focus. We walk the extra mile for our members. Quality over quantity. We are and ambitious bunch and connecting crew with vessels and vice versa is only part of what we do. But an impactful one, we believe! Learn more about our ocean impact approach.

Check the Crewing Topic on the Ocean Nomads Network to see all latest crewing opportunities. We also have many members not publishing crewing opportunities but simply offering rides during our online meet-us, via PMs and casually spontaneously as we ‘click,’ or cross seas.

On the ON Map you can see where Member vessels are currently navigating. You have to log in to see the contact details. 

Check out this blog how you can maximize the possibility of finding a happy, safe and meaningful sailboat ride. We facility and connect but you have to show up and shine to make the dream real. You got our support!

Connecting you to the ocean and to each other is at the core of what Ocean Nomads DOES. But we ARE much more than that. If you align with our vibes and values, welcome to the family! Here you can learn more about Ocean Nomads. Questions? Check the FAQ or drop us a note.

“What I hoped to gain from this community was the option of finding crew. Instead what I found is a collection of people who get what I do, who understand why we make certain choices and who are willing to support each other. And that is something i needed way more than just someone to sail with.” Vessel Member Michiel

“The big opportunity of this platform is, that we all are driven by the same spirit. That makes it easy to build up a team aboard, for me the most important thing out on the ocean. Sailing skills are not as important as many people believe, you will learn everything you must know in less than one week, I promise. ” – Vessel Member & Captain Wolfgang
