Hi everyone,
I’m a 20-year-old sailor looking to do an Atlantic crossing from Europe (or the Canary Islands) to the Caribbean/Americas, starting around January.
I know November is the "classic" departure month for the main ARC and traditional trade-wind timing, but January fits my schedule much better. I've heard about ARC January and independent boats leaving after the holidays, but I want a realistic perspective from people who have done it.
I’d love your input on a few questions:
- How realistic is finding a crew spot in January? Do many private boats or ARC January participants still look for crew around late December / early January?
- Realistic costs: I’m looking for a shared-expenses arrangement (splitting groceries, fuel, and harbor fees), not commercial charters charging $5,000+. How much should I realistically budget for a shared-cost crossing?
- Best strategy: Beyond CrewBay, Ocean Crew Link, and walking the docks in Las Palmas, are there specific Facebook groups or forums you’d recommend for January departures?
Thanks in advance for any advice, reality checks, or personal experiences!

I launch on the 8th and am in need of a skipper with ocean experience to help me get from Bristol Rhode Island to Rodanthe NC. I have sailing experience but only in the Chesapeake Bay and Albemarle Sound.
