Offshore Sailing Around the World
ocean passages
Our philosophy is that time spent at sea is time well spent
Welcome to our page! We are Nathan and Vivian. We are your offshore guides sailing aboard Ultima, our Compass 47. Our mission is to pursue the challenges and rewards of living life at sea, with our crew, one passage at a time.
We have embarked on an incredible voyage crossing oceans and making landfalls in locations both beautiful and remote. We invite you aboard to experience a different pace of life on the wind and water. If you’re dreaming of sailing or wondering if boat ownership is for you, experience firsthand how we sail year after year, logging deep ocean miles and continuing to make it our reality.
We strive to help those aboard who want to make an ocean passage a dream come true. The clients who sail with us become some of our dearest friends and the biggest reward is when we see you out there, dropping anchor beside us on your boat with sea stories of your own.
Thank you for stopping by and learning a little about us and our program.
aboard SV Ultima
Gain bluewater miles, experience, and confidence with our deep ocean sailing trips. Embark on a week or longer sail, practicing safe, efficient, and effective methods to complete a memorable voyage. Whether you’re looking to increase your comfort levels aboard an ocean-going sailboat, cross an ocean off your bucket list, or simply challenge yourself in the most remote locations in the world, these passages are for you.
We may sail through squalls, heave-to in heavy weather, navigate in light airs or calm seas, and delve into the complex logistics of bluewater passage-making far from the sight of land. The crew who come aboard are ready to learn, eager to try something new, and willing to take each passing day with flexibility and positivity. We aren’t always sailing in perfect conditions, but we’re here to show you how we balance life on board, take each wave with stride, and make the most of our precious time on Earth.
