YOUR ADVENTURE STARTS HERE
JOIN US SAILING AROUND THE WORLD
We’re sailing around the world aboard S/Y Celeste of Solent, taking part in our first circumnavigation with the World Cruising Club and World ARC, from 2026 to April 2027.
Our journey has already taken us across oceans to extraordinary places, with unforgettable sailing experiences and many adventures still ahead.
The adventure isn’t over yet! There are still opportunities to join us for the remaining legs. Experience true bluewater sailing, become part of the crew and discover some of the world’s most remarkable destinations.
EXPERIENCE THE ADVENTURE
Sailing aboard S/Y Celeste of Solent is about so much more than reaching the next destination. From exhilarating ocean crossings, challenging conditions to peaceful nights under the stars, every voyage brings new experiences and unforgettable memories.
Life onboard is a shared adventure. Whether you’re taking the helm, learning new sailing skills, exploring remote islands or simply enjoying the company of fellow sailors, everyone becomes part of the crew.
But don’t just take our word for it. Discover the stories, friendships and memorable moments shared by those who have sailed with us.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN SAILING WITH CELESTE
We’re not a formal sailing school. We believe the best way to develop seamanship is to learn by doing – out at sea, in real conditions, alongside experienced skippers and fellow sailors.
As a paying crew member, you’ll take part in every aspect of running the yacht: helming, sail handling, navigation, weather routing, watchkeeping and all the small decisions that contribute to a safe and successful passage.
You don’t need previous sailing experience unless specifically stated for your chosen voyage. What matters is curiosity, enthusiasm, a willingness to learn and a readiness to contribute to life onboard.
If you’re looking for a polished vacation, this may not be it. But if you want hands-on sailing, real responsibility, good seamanship and the satisfaction of being part of a team crossing oceans, you’ve come to the right place
STORIES AND THE LOGGBOOK
Every voyage has its own story. From ocean crossings and challenging weather to unexpected encounters, beautiful anchorages and memorable moments along the way, life aboard Celeste is never short of experiences worth sharing.
Our logbook offers a glimpse into our adventures, the places we’ve visited and the everyday realities of life at sea. And, you’ll have to forgive us if the updates aren’t always frequent – we tend to spend more time sailing than writing! But we’re working on it …
MEET THE CREW
Behind every great voyage is an experienced crew. Our skippers bring decades of offshore sailing, ocean racing and professional seamanship to S/Y Celeste. Their combined experience spans thousands of nautical miles, multiple Atlantic crossings, demanding North Sea passages and adventures in some of the world’s most challenging sailing waters.
All hold Master of Yachts Unlimited qualification, and some are also MoY instructors and examiners.
But, what truly matters is their practical knowledge, sound judgement and commitment to safety. And taking pride in making every voyage safe, rewarding and memorable for everyone.

BTW, not just social media …
We even made it onto Swedish national television! In October 2026, TV4’s Nyhetsmorgon featured Wera and Mats (her father who also is the skipper) sailing from Australia towards South Africa as part of the World ARC.
A little glimpse of our adventure, this time from the comfort of your sofa!
