⛵🇫🇷 Off to La Rochelle!

Early this morning, Tres Hombres quietly left the harbour of Blankenberge after waiting a few extra days for the perfect weather window.

And this departure was a special one!

With almost no wind, the crew still managed to sail out of the harbour without the help of a tugboat! Only the dinghy followed alongside for extra precaution.

A beautiful reminder of what traditional sailing and teamwork can achieve ⚓

Now the ship is on her way south to La Rochelle. How long do you think it will take before Tres Hombres reaches her next destination?

The end of one voyage, the start of another! ⛵

Last week, right after arriving back in the Netherlands from their Atlantic crossing, the crew unloaded all the cargo and what a beautiful day it turned out to be!

With sunshine, lots of visitors, good vibes and live music by Legiana collective in the evening, we celebrated the return of the crew the best way possible 😎

The cargo was unloaded smoothly, crew members and trainees have already switched… and Tres Hombres is once again back at sea for the start of the summer season!

Next stop ➡️ Blankenberge!

⛵ Tres Hombres update

Due to a storm, Tres Hombres sailed down south towards Northern Spain. She is making her way back to the Channel now, facing some northern winds along the way. Let’s see how long it takes her to get back to Amsterdam…

In the meantime, the crew has been busy writing beautiful stories to share their life on board.

Today, we’re sharing Anne-Coralie’s blog about her climbing adventures, looks like a new monkey has joined the ship! 🐒

Enjoy the read, and feel free to leave a comment for Anne-Coralie to let her know what you think of her story ❤️

Tres Hombres set sail today for her final leg of her winter trip 2025-2026!

After writing a blog called “The plan is no plan” describing life on board Tres Hombres during the first half of the trip, Lea wrote a follow up called “Let it go”. The blog summarises very well how things sometimes go on board Tres Hombres and that the best way to deal with it might just be to let it go…

Curious? The blog is now available on our website!

Horta is in sight 👀⚓️

Just a few more sea miles to go before Tres Hombres reaches the island 🌊

While the crew prepares for the arrival in Horta, we’ve just published Olivier’s blog, a trainee on board who shares a vivid and adventurous glimpse of life at sea aboard Tres Hombres.

🐣🍫 This Easter, taste chocolate with a story!

Not just any chocolate… but delicious chocolate made from cocoa beans that crossed the Atlantic under sail ⛵

Carried by Tres Hombres, our engineless sailing cargo ship, these beans travel the old way, powered by wind, guided by the ocean, and handled with care every step of the journey!

From tropical cocoa trees to your Easter treats, every bite is part of an adventure that respects both people and planet.

So while you unwrap your delicious chocolate in a few days, remember: some journeys are just a little more magical than others ⛵🤩
