VOYAGE CREW

A few times a year, Neverland makes longer voyages to get to our next destination. Typically we allow at least two weeks for these voyages, which gives us plenty of time to make short hops between islands, optimize our weather routing, explore and enjoy some of our stops along the way, and arrive at our destination with a few days to spare and explore. We love to have crew join us to experience life at sea and explore unknown places.

Voyage Crew is perfect for those looking for an authentic sailing and liveaboard experience. You do not need prior sailing knowledge or experience to join us on a voyage—all you need is an interest in sailing, a bit of flexibility, willingness to learn and help out, and an adventurous spirit.

Our itinerary during a voyage is very much influenced by the weather and conditions. With our arrival date at our final destination in mind, we’ll rely on weather forecasting to determine which route to take and when we might make our passages between islands. Often we’ll make a passage overnight to ensure arrival during daylight, so we get to enjoy the wonder of sailing under the cover of darkness and a sea of stars!

John will conduct weather, passage, and safety briefings with the crew to make sure everyone gets to participate in the planning and knows what to expect and prepare for. While we’re underway, we’ll take turns on watch and in the galley to make sure everyone is well rested, well fed, and gets to learn more about sailing and navigating. We usually deploy our trolling lines and fishing gear to see if we can catch some fresh meals, and most passages are actually quite relaxing—there’s always plenty of time for reading, playing games, watching movies, sunbathing, and napping.

We’ll often find ourselves stopping at remote islands or shorelines for more than one night while we wait for our next weather window to make the next hop. This gives us a chance to relax, play, and explore new places—whether that’s an excursion on shore, playing in the water, or diving the local reefs.

We try to arrive at our final destination with a few days to spare which gives us time to unwind and explore before you depart.
