Jul 4 – Aug 2 | $8950
From pink sand beaches to icebergs, this trip is the most diverse we have on the schedule and TRULY has it ALL. From blue water to coastal navigation, tropical waters to arctic high latitudes, breathtaking landscapes and plentiful wildlife all the boxes get ticked.
We’ll head north from Bermuda over the Grand Banks to arrive in St. Pierre, one of two French islands 15NM off the south coast of Newfoundland. Good food, rich history, and Puffins are all a treat here. After more than one delicious pastry and a stroll around the island, we’ll hop the short distance to Fortune to clear into Canada and explore Newfoundland. This spectacular cruising ground is seldom visited and offers much; gorgeous fjords, hiking, waterfalls, wildlife and remote outports. After some time well spent in the region, we’ll cast off and head north to Greenland and the land of the midnight sun.
All meals on board Sea Dragon are delicious and vegetarian, in addition, any fish if we catch any along the way.

Tentative Itinerary

Day 2: Safety Brief/Explore Bermuda
Today will be full of boat briefings, orientation, and getting the boat prepped for passage. Afterwards, you’ll have some time in the afternoon to explore.
Day 3: Set Sail for St Pierre
Today is the day we head to sea! At this time, we’ll haul up anchor and head out of St Georges cut and hoist sails as we start our North Atlantic sailing journey! Summing up our time in Bermuda.
Day 4-8: Underway
Life and rhythm on Sea Dragon will quickly take shape around the watch schedule and life will be wonderfully simple and disconnected from the norm. Soon, you’ll be a natural at the helm.
Day 9: Arrive St Pierre
Welcome to France! Finally, we’ll tie up on the dock in St Pierre, ready to explore a new land after being at sea. Above all, the land adventuring begins!
Day 10-11: Explore St Pierre
Now that we’re here, time to stretch those sea legs and experience this little bit of France on the western side of the Atlantic! Take a tour through the museum, enjoy the local cuisine, or take a trip over to Ile aux Marins to have a look at the former fisherman’s village. Don’t forget to visit the bakery!
Day 12: To Canada
After a few days in port, we’ll untie and head to Canada. Then, it’s only a short hop over to Fortune, where we’ll clear in.
Day 13-19: Explore Newfoundland
At this time, we’ll spend these days of the trip amongst the birds and marine mammals of the south coast. Then, our nights will be on anchor and our days will be filled with sailing, hiking, relaxing and taking in the spectacular scenery. The fjords are incredible and remote, to take them in is magical. Along the way, specific stops will be largely dictated by the weather. Although North Atlantic sailing is everchanging, it is uniquely beautiful.
Day 19: Depart for Greenland
After some top notch coastal sailing and exploration, it will be time to set sail for the Arctic.
Day 20-27: Underway to the Arctic
