STREET OF GIBRALTAR

Every year the Clipper Stad Amsterdam makes a number of adventurous trips. With or without sailing experience you are cordially invited to sail along and embark on the adventure with our crew.

This summer sailing trip starts on the beautiful island of Ibiza which is located in the Mediterranean Sea and which is part of the Balearic Islands. The beaches surrounded by pine trees, the beautiful rock formations and the historic city center declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO make Ibiza incredibly popular with a large audience. If you add the Mediterranean climate with many hours of sunshine to all this, a sailing trip can hardly start better.

On this adventurous voyage you will sail south along the Spanish coast, through the Strait of Gibraltar and then on the Atlantic Ocean north to arrive at the far western tip of the French peninsula of Brittany. Sailing through the Strait of Gibraltar is definitely one of the highlights of this trip! It is the only place where the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet. Enjoy the view from deck - or perhaps from the highest mast - of both the south coast of Spain and the north coast of Morocco at the same time.

1350 NAUTICAL MILES IN 12 DAYS

After a first night on board in one of our luxurious cabins, the next morning, after breakfast, all preparations are made for departure.

Over approximately 12 days you will cover a distance of some 1350 nautical miles and learn about what it takes to sail a square rigged vessel. Daily life on board and the movements of the ship are experiences in themselves. In addition, our crew will familiarize you with the ropes on board, teach you everything about setting the sails and navigating. If you wish, our crew will gladly accompany you on your climb up the mast with a breathtaking view as a reward. And there's more...

DURING THE TRIP

What could be better than standing on the lookout with nothing but the sea around you. The waves, the occasionally rough sea, maybe other ships and dolphins that swim around the bow and the special experience of feeling small and insignificant in the overwhelming nature. Enjoy the peace and quiet around you, get away from the hectic pace of our daily lives, find time to relax on deck or in the longroom with a book from our well-stocked library, for example, and have special conversations with the crew. and with the other guests.

Meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner, are served together with the crew in the longroom at times that are tailored to the waiting system.

Every evening, after dinner, the captain gives a presentation in the longroom about the route sailed for the day, the weather forecasts and the route for the next day.

SEA SAILING AND WATCHING

The crew on board works in a 3 watch system. For example, you have the red watch (from 12.00 to 16.00 and from 00.00 to 04.00), the white watch (from 16.00 to 20.00 and from 04.00 to 08.00) and the blue watch (from 20.00 to 00.00 and from 8 a.m. to 8 a.m.). 12.00).

If you like this, you can be assigned to one of those three waits. This way you experience what it is like to sail at sea on a ship like the clipper. Set sails, man the lookout, set the course or keep watch; you can do it all.

If you are on the red watch, you can enjoy the serene tranquility of the high seas and the endless starry sky at night. In the white watch you will be surprised by spectacular sunrises and if you have the blue watch you can enjoy a normal day and night rhythm.

ARRIVAL IN BREST

On Saturday 30 July in the evening we will enter the port of Brest. It will take some getting used to when you set foot on the mainland again! The next morning after breakfast, our crew will bid you farewell and your sailing adventure comes to an end.

You may decide to spend a few more days in Brest. The famous Pointe du Raz near Finistère, for example, is a great coastal point with steep and impressive cliffs 70 meters high. Or take a stroll along Rue de Saint-Malo to explore the part of the historic district that remained undamaged after the bombing in World War II. Or visit the oldest maritime museum in the world which is located in Brest Castle. And did you know that the Brest funicular offers you a beautiful view of the city?
