Join us in 2026 on the adventure of a lifetime
Crew Wanted: Transpacific Expedition from Hawaii to SE Asia
Vessel: Gloria – 71ft Blue Water Sailing Yacht
Departure: First week of September 2026 (Weather permitting)
Route: Hawaii ➔ Line Islands (Kiribati) ➔ Polynesia ➔ New Guinea ➔ Indonesia ➔ Thailand
Legs Available: Individual legs or multiple transits negotiable.
The Opportunity
We are three seasoned sailors (two men, one woman) fresh off a major refit in Hawaii, ready to resume our westward journey. We are opening up a few private cabins for individuals who want to immerse themselves in the authentic reality of the liveaboard cruising lifestyle.
⚠️ Please Note: This is a hands-on expedition, not a leisure charter. All crew will share equally in costs, on-deck watches, and galley duties.
What You Will Learn & Do
Once aboard, you will be fully integrated into the crew and trained in all aspects of ocean voyaging, including:
• Sail trim and rig management
• Offshore navigation and weather prediction
• Standing night watches
The Itinerary
The first leg from Hawaii to the Line Islands (Kiribati) will take approximately 7 days. After exploring Kiribati, the crew will collaboratively discuss and map out the specific westerly routes through Polynesia, New Guinea, and beyond. Your ideas and bucket-list destinations are welcome!
Our Community
We proudly welcome people of all identities and backgrounds aboard Gloria. Everyone is valued, respected, and celebrated. We expect all who join us to treat the yacht—and each other—with the care and respect of a shared home.
