Voyager sails well in light air

An instructional passage aboard Voyager allows you to:

Build confidence and abilities that will allow you to make your own voyages.

Experience the ocean and learn what skills and knowledge is required to cross them.

Gain practical, hands-on experience on a passage before spending the time and money to outfit your own boat. Be certain the dream is yours before investing in it.

Experience the exotic ports of call at both ends of the voyage passage. Most crewmembers arrive a few days early to overcome jet lag and vacation as the sailing day approaches. Have family members join in the fun on land, then take part in an ocean adventure when the vacation ends!

Sail Aboard Voyager

She's built as a Category A vessel: Ocean Designed for extended voyages where conditions may exceed wind Force 8 (Beaufort scale) and significant wave heights of 4 meters and above, and vessels that are self sufficient.
The Beneteau Category A boats are built for rough conditions, and handle them in stride. Yet, despite their inherent strength, they are nimble and fast through the water. Voyager was designed by Pinot for Beneteau, and she lives up to that heritage.
