The First Chapter Is Complete — What a Story!

We’re taking advantage of our stop in Almerimar to look back on this first summer season in the Mediterranean. (You’ll find the numbers at the end of the post!)

Our expectations were high, but we can say with satisfaction that they were well and truly exceeded! We experienced so many unforgettable sails, nights at anchor, dives in enchanting places, freediving courses and training, and much more. A special thank you to all our member friends who joined us — we’re truly building a beautiful community.

Now it’s time to get ready for the next adventure! In two weeks we’ll set sail across the Atlantic Ocean, bound for the Canary Islands and then the Caribbean. We’ll soon share our sailing plan for the next six months, so you can plan your own voyage with us too.

• Departure from Rome on 16 July, ending on 3 October in Almerimar.

Hi friends! This first chapter of the Ikigai project has now come to a close, and we’re happy to share a few figures.

Setting off from Rome on 16 July 2022 and ending the season in the Caribbean (Grenada) on 6 June 2023, we spent 294 days at sea, sailing 6,700 nautical miles and visiting 14 different countries.

Heartfelt thanks to all 31 members who took part in this adventure, in the hope of having you aboard again for the second chapter — the new programme will be available soon!

Thrilled to have shared our passions together: offshore sailing, freediving, scuba diving, spearfishing, kitesurfing, yoga, trekking, kayaking and more, as well as cooking and good food.

Proud to have crossed our first ocean together, the Atlantic.

Happy to have shared so many unforgettable moments.

Let’s stay in touch!
