<\/span><\/h3>\nHow Much Fuel Is Needed To Cross The Atlantic & Pacific ocean? For a medium-sized yacht, you should expect to have at least 500 gallons of fuel (2000 liters), unless you have sails. If you are motoring in a big yacht, you will need more than that. You should bring 1.5 times the amount you expect to burn.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How long does it take to sail from the Caribbean to the Azores?<\/span><\/h3>\nDistance & Duration For different average speed the miles per day sailed and the number of days to sail 2250 miles from Caribbean to Azores. For boats of 40 ft the average statistic time registered in Horta from the Marina is 19-20 days.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Can a Sunseeker cross the Atlantic?<\/span><\/h3>\nA 66' Sunseeker can handle 10-12' seas but I don't know anyone who would like to be on one for more than a very short time in such seas. Crossing the Atlantic you could hit 20' seas or even 30' or greater. Unlikely, but highly likely you'll see some days with seas over 10'.<\/p>\n
<\/span>What size yacht do you need to cross the Atlantic?<\/span><\/h3>\nWhether you're motoring or sailing, you need a boat at least 30 ft long to cross the Atlantic. Ideally, your boat will be at least 40 feet long for safety and comfort. The experience of motoring or sailing across the Atlantic are very different, but both require a boat of at least this size.<\/p>\n
