If the open sea has been calling your name and the thought of crossing the Atlantic gives you the chills, there's something new you'll want to check out. The Viking Explorers Rally, one of the most exciting and community-driven transatlantic sailing rallies out there, has just launched a brand-new website: www.vikingexplorersrally.com.

The redesigned site offers a comprehensive and user-friendly platform for sailors, interested in joining a unique, community-driven Atlantic crossing. With updated navigation, expanded content, and striking visuals, the new website serves as the central hub for rally information, registration, participant resources, and event updates.

For those unfamiliar, the Viking Explorers Rally sets sail from the Canary Islands and heads west across the Atlantic to the Caribbean to the beautiful Port Louis Marina in Grenada, the West Indies; every 6th of January since 2018. Whether you're a seasoned ocean-crosser or gearing up for your very first Bluewater passage, the Viking Explorers community welcomes sailors of all levels.

The new site also features stunning photos from past rallies, stories from participants, and a peek into the rally's ethos: small fleet, big adventure, zero race pressure and safety — just good sailing with great people.

"The launch of our new website is a major step forward in sharing the Viking Explorers vision with a global audience," said Carlota Texeira Saavedra, Marketing Director of the Viking Explorers Rally. "We've created a space where people can learn everything they need to know about the rally, get inspired by stories from past editions, and start preparing for their own Atlantic adventure."

Known for its non-competitive spirit, limited fleet size, and strong emphasis on safety, friendship, and support, the rally attracts sailors from around the world who seek more than just a crossing — they seek a shared experience.

So, if you've been dreaming of trade winds, starry skies, and island landfalls, now's the time to explore what the Viking Explorers Rally has to offer. Check out the new site, get inspired, and maybe, just maybe, answer that call of the sea.
