While some prepare breakfast in the ship&#8217;s galley, others check the weather forecast or study the day&#8217;s route.   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After weighing anchor, navigation begins, depending on the stretch, it may last a few hours or last for a good part of the day.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During that time each person can participate in the navigation: help with the sails, take the helm for a while or simply observe how the color of the water changes as new islands are approached.  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day comes one of the most special moments of the voyage: finding a good anchorage, taking a sunset swim or going ashore to explore a beach or a small harbor.  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the days go by, time starts to be measured differently. Not by timetables, but by the wind, the miles sailed or the distance to the next island. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How many miles are sailed on a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.juliovernenautica.com\/en\/caribbean-crossings\">Caribbean sailing trip<\/a> usually covers considerable distances. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the itinerary, it is usual to sail <\/span><b>between 400 and more than 500 nautical miles during a week<\/b>.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This makes it possible to combine longer sailing legs with shorter ones between different islands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Caribbean is especially interesting for this type of travel because many islands are relatively close to each other, allowing you to move forward every day and discover new places without having to cross large open oceans.  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the trade winds offer very stable sailing conditions for a good part of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Sailboat: La Peregrina<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Atlantic crossing  2025 La Peregrina Julio Verne N\u00e1utica\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qdOIJ2BaDMc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.juliovernenautica.com\/en\/caribbean-crossings\">voyages organized by Julio Verne N\u00e1utica<\/a> take place aboard the following vessels <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qdOIJ2BaDMc\"><b>La Peregrina<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La Peregrina, a 70-foot ocean-going sailing yacht designed by the prestigious naval architect German Frers. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a steel ketch prepared to sail long distances in safety and comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The boat has:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Five cabins<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several indoor common areas<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ample outdoor spaces to enjoy sailing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Peregrina has crossed the Atlantic on numerous occasions and has been specifically prepared for crossings and sailing training.  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On board are two certified instructors who are in charge of safety and coordinating life on board during the entire experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>What experience do you need to participate<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common doubts is whether previous experience is necessary to participate in a crossing. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer is that <\/span><b>it is not essential to have sailed before.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people join this type of experience precisely to learn how sailing on a tall ship works. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those who already have nautical experience also find in these voyages a good opportunity to add miles and sail in a spectacular environment. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important thing is to have curiosity for the sea, a desire to learn and a spirit of conviviality on board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>The Caribbean as seen from the sea<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20991\" src=\"https:\/\/www.juliovernenautica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2026-03-04-a-las-4.21.35.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1190\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.juliovernenautica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2026-03-04-a-las-4.21.35.png 1190w, https:\/\/www.juliovernenautica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2026-03-04-a-las-4.21.35-768x361.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1190px) 100vw, 1190px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting to know the Caribbean from a sailboat completely changes the perspective of the trip.  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The islands appear on the horizon little by little, the rhythm of the day depends on the wind and each day ends in a different place.  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are days of calm navigation between islands and others in which the sea becomes the real protagonist of the trip.  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many people, that mix of adventure, learning and scenery is what makes a sailing trip an experience that is difficult to compare with any other type of voyage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Frequently asked questions about sailboat cruises<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Do you need to know how to sail?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. Many people participate in crossings without previous experience.
