Mediterranean to Caribbean
90 Days aboard S/Y Argo
 
  • Academic courses (12 credits): oceanography, marine biology, basic seamanship, leadership
  • 6,500 Nautical Miles via France, Italy, Spain, Morocco
Why limit yourself to just one ocean, country or continent? Choose the journey spanning over 6,500 miles that offers the best of land and sea. Sail the Mediterranean, cross the Atlantic and cruise the Caribbean against the backdrop of sunrise, sunset and moonlight.Gaze at the Pantheon and Coliseum in Rome. Tour the ancient fortress town of Bonifacio – a mountain in the sea with over 1,700 summits and water so clear that visibility is perfect even at 50 feet below. Ride camels among the sand dunes on the beaches of Agadir and wander the busy markets of Marrakech. Conquer our longest sailing passage and experience deep blue freedom in every direction as you cross the Atlantic with pilot whales, bioluminescent plankton and flying fish. Night dive over vivid Caribbean Reefs. As your journey closes, realize that the greatest achievement of your voyage is that it was accomplished by you.
