At Yacht Point, we always look for opportunities that help our students grow as sailors and gain the real-world experience necessary to obtain advanced certifications. For 2026, we are excited to share a particularly interesting option for those interested in offshore sailing: the Mile-Building trips aboard the stunning sailing yacht La Peregrina, a Frers 72 that will operate in the Caribbean during the first months of the year.
All training, communication, and instruction aboard will be conducted in English, making this experience an excellent opportunity to practice and improve nautical English while accumulating miles.
These trips give students the chance to experience true offshore sailing in one of the most inspiring regions of the world. The Caribbean offers constant trade winds, warm waters, and a combination of coastal and open-water routes, all ideal for developing seamanship skills. Sailing between its islands allows you to encounter a variety of conditions while enjoying the landscapes and unique atmosphere of the area.
Aboard La Peregrina, participants will live the real rhythm of offshore sailing. This includes taking part in watches, navigation planning, sail handling, and all the daily routines that are part of life at sea. The yacht, a Frers 72, combines performance and comfort. Its length provides stability and safety during long passages, while the professional crew ensures a structured environment focused on practical learning—all conducted in English to ensure clear communication and consistent training.
These trips are especially suited for students who need to accumulate qualifying miles for advanced certifications or for those looking to expand their experience beyond coastal sailing. Spending several days on continuous sailing, working alongside an experienced crew, is one of the best ways to gain confidence and understand the demands of long-distance passages.
Although this program is organized by an external operator, Yacht Point students are very welcome, and we would be happy to assist any interested individuals with all the details. We can help with dates, pricing, and recommendations on which trip best suits your level of experience.
For those looking to advance their training while enjoying an unforgettable sailing adventure, the Mile-Building trips in the Caribbean aboard La Peregrina in 2026 represent a fantastic opportunity. If you would like more information, don’t hesitate to contact us—we are here to help you take the next step in your journey as a sailor.
