Our story
From the Caribbean
to Sitges
Our journey began in St. George’s, Grenada, December 2024, where Captain Sloan fell in love with a Harmony 42 sailing yacht and named her Tranquility. After spending three months getting her ready for her maiden voyage, Captain Sloan sailed north along the Caribbean, island-hopping towards Miami, Florida, where he spent several more months getting the sailboat ready for the biggest of his life. He teamed up with Officer Rolando G., a dear friend, ex US Navy mechanic and pilot. Rolandos expertise was vital in the preparing Tranquility for the ultimate adventure: the Atlantic crossing.
In May 2025, Sloan finally set sail leaving Miami his their dog, Saki (who has more sailing experience than most people).
The Voyage of a Lifetime
- Miami to Bermuda (8 days at sea): During this first leg, he sailed on the Gulf Stream, dodged thunderstorms, and were rewarded with unforgettable magic: sailing through a glowing, bioluminescent ocean under a night sky so clear it felt like piloting a spaceship through the universe.
- Bermuda to Azores (18 days at sea): After a week of provisioning in Bermuda, while enjoying its beautiful beaches and colorful parrotfish, he began our longest stretch. Crossing the Atlantic was a beautiful, exhausting, and liberating challenge. He and his crew sailed and slept in shifts, patched a torn sail mid-ocean, and lost a hatch to the unforgiving winds. Along the way, they were chaperoned by playful pods of dolphins and massive schools of tuna. On the 18th morning, the cliffs of the Azores archipelago emerged through the fog.
He stayed at Horta Marina for six weeks. Located on Faial Island in the Portuguese Azores, Horta is a legendary crossroads for transatlantic sailors, where colorful paintings cover the marina walls and sidewalks, each mural telling the story of an ocean-crossing voyage, according to a unique maritime tradition: painting a mural on the jetty walls to ensure safe passage through the Atlantic.
After some well-deserved rest, taking in the island’s stunning volcanic landscapes, blue hydrangeas, and a few too many pastéis de nata, he got back to work. He carried out maintenance on several key systems aboard the sailboat, including the solar panels, autopilot, and fridge compressor.
- Azores to mainland Portugal (7 days at sea): Once Tranquility was ready to sail again, he spent some days exploring the Azores Islands before setting off on the transatlantic passage from Ponta Delgada in São Miguel Island to mainland Portugal, keeping a watchful eye out through orca territory
Our Chosen Home
He sailed along Portugal’s coastline before reaching Spain. After stopping in Cádiz for a week to repair the main sail, he continued through the Strait of Gibraltar and across the Alboran Sea, passing Málaga, Almería, and Cartagena.
From there, he sailed toward Eivissa, crossed the Balearic Sea, and finally docked in Sitges, the beautiful coastal town he now calls home.
Every mile sailed taught him respect for the ocean, the joy of adventure, and the true meaning of Tranquility.
Now, Sloan can’t wait to share that magic with you.
Welcome aboard!
