For the first time in 59º North’s history, we’ll touch the shores of South America! From Antigua, we’ll sail west and downwind, angling ever further south towards our rendezvous with the Panama Canal and the gateway to the Pacific Ocean.

Two trips in one, as we start with a 250+ mile downwind sail towards Panama & the famed San Blas Islands, before shifting into inshore mode and transiting the famed Panama Canal and into the Pacific! We have more time scheduled for this passage than is necessary to allow for bureaucratic & logistical delays in the Canal itself. Transiting the Canal and entering a new ocean is a bucket-list adventure for us at 59º North, and adding a little ocean sailing on top is the icing on the cake!

Perhaps THE classic, bucket-list ocean passage that we all dream about, the iconic Marquesas Islands lie 3,000-miles downwind of the Galapagos.

Since it’s so hard to get to the Pacific, we couldn’t resist adding a cruising passage in Tahiti. Join us in Pape’ete and we’ll sail the 150-miles or so over to Bora Bora, stopping at Moorea en route if time allows. We’ll explore Bora Bora, then return upwind to Pape’ete after a week or so. This will be a different type of trip from our normal offshore passages, with time to swim, anchor, explore ashore and experience French Polynesia!

The South Pacific is too big to make it all the way to New Zealand/Australia in one season with the extended cyclone risk, so we’ll sail north from Tahiti in French Polynesia, back across the Equator and on towards Hawaii. But not before taking in the remote Palmyra Atoll en route. This is a big one: 3,000-miles of ocean sailing across two hemispheres and taking in a variety of weather patterns and some exotic landfalls—a true test of seamanship.

NEW PASSAGE! The return passage to San Diego will be a more technically-focused and educational ‘Sail Training Passages’. We’ll spend more time in-port prior to departure diving deep on the details of seamanship, from weather routing and forecasting to knots, splicing, chart work, systems and more. With consistent breeze off Baja California and a short rhumb-line distance to San Diego, we have plenty of space for all points of sail and in-depth training offshore. Offshore, the passage may be broken up into shorter sails or one longer passage.
