Cherbourg to Lisbon (Cascais) is an epic stretch of water including rounding the Ushant, passing the Cap Finisterre, and crossing the Bay of Biscay.
Price: €1,450/ £1,310 per person*
11 Days: 14 - 24 August 2023
This trip includes lots of dramatic and historic landmarks that have been viewed by seafarers for centuries. After passing the North Western point of the Iberian Peninsula, we should finally expect some decent trades to take us all the way to Lisbon. Because of the time of year, the weather should be in our favour and we try to do as many stopovers as we can along the way!
This is a true blue water leg with all the proper watch rota procedures and high seas drills. If you plan to crew on a blue watercraft or maybe even take a yacht of your own long distance, this is the perfect opportunity to learn.
