Porto – Lisboa – Lagos in March 2026

Lovesail Member: Thomas_Moody
Crew Wanted
Location: Portugal
Dates: Mar 1, 2026 – Mar 20, 2026

Hey Sailing Lovers ⚓️

I’m looking for one or two open-minded crew mates to join me sailing from Porto down the coast via Lisbon, heading toward the Mediterranean.
My home is a Moody 34, a cozy and safe center cockpit yacht, perfect for real sea life and small crews.
We’ll mostly do relaxed day trips, hopping from harbor to harbor along the Portuguese coast.
But from time to time, there will also be overnight passages with shared night watches, real sailing, stars above us, the quiet magic of the ocean at night.
The rest of the time?
Exploring beautiful places like Nazaré, enjoying little marinas, sunsets, and amazing Portuguese seafood cooked by local chefs.
Simple days.
Salt in the air.
Good talks.
Lots of smiles.
No pressure – just good vibes, teamwork and enjoying life at sea together.
Limited space. Unlimited adventure.
If this sounds like your kind of story
maybe your place is on board.

Send me a message and your availability.


St Martin to Antigua

Lovesail Member: captainpaulh
Crew Wanted
Location: St Martin/Marteen
Dates: Mar 7, 2026 – Mar 15, 2026

I need a crew to move my boat from St Martin to Antigua, leaving after 7th March and before 15th March. Opportunities for a longer adventure if the person fits in.


Greek Islands 2026

Lovesail member: Sunseeker46
Crew Wanted
Location: Rhodes, Greece
Dates: May 27, 2026 – Jun 10, 2026

Australian flagged Beneteau Oceanis 46 will be sailing the Greek islands starting in May. Looking for crew to help with sailing and looking after the yacht. The plan is to sail in the Greek islands and then visit the coast around Bozburun in Turkey.  I’m an experienced skipper but also keen to learn from the experience of others. Novices would be welcome. Costs shared would be port costs and food. Typically around EUR50 per day per person. I look forward to hearing from you.


Fiji Islands Cruising with Diving

Lovesail member: sailforlife
Crew Wanted
Location: Nadi Fiji Islands
Dates: Apr 10, 2026 – Apr 10, 2027

Colors of the rainbow under water in the friendliest country. I have a dive compressor on board to dive in remote dive sites around the islands here. I will be here until late July then moving west about the globe, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Australia next stops. Hiking, swimming, village experiences, paddle boarding also on the menu. I’m looking for a fit mate with time on their side for an extended adventure. I put April 10 2026 to April 10 2027 because I had to enter something but times are flexible.
