TransAtlantic Passage Yacht Charter aboard Emily Morgan - 2015

The charter yacht Emily Morgan, a 57-foot Bowman ketch, still has a couple of berths available for a Trans-Atlantic trip. Emily Morgan will be departing Antigua on 7th May 2015 bound for the UK via the Azores. The complete passage of about 3850 miles is expected to take between 23-27 days.

Emily Morgan

EMILY MORGAN still has a couple of berths available for their 2015 eastbound Transatlantic passage.

This is a great opportunity to cross the Atlantic ocean. Build your sea miles and experience with unforgettable ocean sailing at its best! Use this trip as a qualifying passage for your RYA Ocean Yachtmaster exam, learn to use a sextant and gain experience of extended cruising or just enjoy the adventure.

Emily Morgan has crossed the Atlantic many times and, as an MCA category zero yacht, is fully equipped for a safe crossing. You will be looked after by owners and hosts Anna and Bones Black, both experienced sailors with thousands of sea miles under their belts. Guests will be expected to be involved fully with sailing the boat including watch keeping, steering, sail changes, cooking and some general maintenance.

Emily Morgan will start in Antigua at the historic Nelson’s Dockyard, a unique piece of maritime history and set sail for Horta in the Azores. The exact route will depend on prevailing weather conditions to ensure the best sail across the Atlantic but this first leg will be approximately 2600 nautical miles, taking 15 to 17 days.

Then you will stop in Horta for a few days giving enough time to explore this lovely island.

After the stopover in the Azores, head northeast for the second leg of the voyage. Again, taking weather conditions into account, it is approximately 1250 nautical miles and will take about 8 to 10 days.

PRICE: The cost of the whole trip joining in Antigua on 7th May 2015 is £2,400 (approximately US$3590, check here). This price includes captain & 1st mate, all food and soft drinks whilst at sea, and all running costs of the boat. It excludes personal travel/medical insurance (a requirement for all guests), flights and local taxes.

It is preferred that guests commit to the complete passage of 3850 miles over 23-27 days but they will consider breaking the trip down into the two legs: Antigua-Azores, Azores-UK.

2012 TransAtlantic Crossing

We just finished our wonderful Atlantic crossing. We couldn’t have found a better boat or a better captain and chef for this most wonderful experience in our lives.

- 2012 TransAtlantic Crossing

Bijan is “The Best of the Best." An unforgettable adventure!

- 2012 TransAtlantic Crossing

It is fair to say that -- having sailed only in the Mediterranean and never in “Proper” oceans -- I was somewhat worried regards to crossing the Atlantic, my journey into the unknown! I needed not have worried: From the moment I stepped aboard I felt at ease and very much enjoyed the crossing -- So many thanks for making it so easy: Well hosted. Best wishes to you both for much happiness together, kind seas, and fair winds. If you ever find your way to York, make sure you look me up.

- Bruce (Antigua-Azores-Gibraltar, May 2-June 1, 2010

There are many stories to be told about four guys on a 3,228 mile, 29-day transatlantic crossing, but the one that strikes me as being the best is meeting the Anahita captain, Bijan. Myself an owner of a 1980 38’ Shannon cutter ketch with two transatlantic crossings, I would say this crossing (12/01/09 -12/29/09) was one of the easiest of the three. As a captain you should know & be able to diagnose every sound emanating from your boat, understand & never chance your boat's abilities under all sea conditions, & have an ability to take command of all crew situations. I can say from doing this trip with Bijan that he is aware of all of these situations, even while asleep. The boat is equipped with two types of communication with the land via sailmail, an email service, & satellite telephone. I had been in contact through sailmail with my family & thereby kept them informed as to where the boat was & that all was as well. Now as for luxury, I can truly say there is nothing missing in accommodations or entertainment (Plasma TV for evening movies). My room was large, airy, & comfortable for two & extremely large for one. Of course, it has a head with shower with enough hot water to keep you happy. The galley was a delight to work in with a three-burner stove & oven that was easy to handle & make delicious hot evening meals. We even made fresh bread in the electric bread maker. Over all the Anahita was a delight to spend time on & would give anyone a great time to remember.

- Regards, Noah (Gibraltar to St Martin, Nov. 2009)

What a wonderful opportunity of an adventure charter this will be for two lucky people.  We (Bob & Sheila) love passages. It is so cool to look out and just see water all the way out to the horizon... Of course, you'll see the occasional ship and flotsam can get quite exciting.  Maybe you will even catch a nice fish for dinner on your way!

Bijan and Roseanne look forward to having you aboard.

Anahita, 62 Dynamique sloop
