Here’s a little recap of our recent Offshore Skillbuilding Adventure from the Canary Islands to Cape Verde.
At the end of January, we set sail from Canary Islands to Cape Verde. An offshore skill building trip and training has been in great demand. With one of our best skippers Thomas beyond excited to run it, co-skippered by our super ambassadors Paula and love, and with a legendary crew lined up we had the most important ingredients to make this a trip of a lifetime.
This kind of trip isn’t for champagne sailing. This is a serious ocean adventure in challenging conditions. A wild environment to learn a lot, fast, especially teamwork. Your life depends on it.
And wow how proud we are on how Captain and Crew has created the voyage.
850 Nautical Miles of wild blue. They hand steered the full trip for maximum learning and strong arm purposes. Just human hands, intuition and teamwork.
Taking the helm is more than just a skill. It’s trust, focus, awareness, and learning to work with the elements instead of against them for next level ocean connection.
They dreamt and they did. Continuing ocean nomads life with more skills, friends, ideas, vitamine D and Sea.

You can’t buy happiness, but you can travel wild oceans by sail, gain confidence to sail the world, and make lifelong memories with crew that becomes family. And isn’t that most exciting?
Are you curious to what it’s like to sail overnight and offshore? And eager to make the ocean nomads lifestyle a reality?
This crossing sails again. Leg 3 of the SV Twister Atlantic expedition leaves Tenerife for Mindelo on 18 December 2026: the same 850 nautical miles of trade-wind sailing, with Christmas at sea and New Year in Cabo Verde together with the crews of three ocean missions. No sailing experience needed, our captain and crew are happy teaching you the ropes. Ocean Nomads members get €100 off every leg.
