There’s bound to be a sailing experience in our high-performance catamaran program to suit your needs!
The latest addition to the ORC range, Avel Vaez offers a rich sailing program for the first year. Whether they wish to sail our catamaran in coastal or blue water sailing and ocean crossing, in convoying mode, in rally mode or in racing mode, passengers will be spoilt for choice!
The objective is to sail yearlong with Avel Vaez. This allows us to propose at all times in various destinations and a diverse program.
At the end of his Caribbean sailing season in the spring 2025, Avel Vaez will complete a second Atlantic crossing under sail.
These are unforgettable cruises are amongst the world most iconic ones.
Avel Vaez will visit mostly islands along the way, Balearic Islands, Sardinia, Sicilia and the Ionian islands.
We have availability for six passengers for all or part of these cruises.
In 2025 again, Avel Vaez will spend the summer season in Greece. In 2024, our crew and passengers really enjoyed what is one of the best sailing and cruising areas in the Mediterranean!
In Greece, the wind allows us to sail almost everyday. In the many Greek anchorages, the sea is crystal clear, ideal for freediving, snorkeling, or diving. Activities include visiting sumptuously decorated Orthodox temples or archaeological sites, or sampling Mediterranean cuisine.
Four extraordinary cruise options in Greece:
-The Northern Cyclades (blue route)
-The Southern Cyclades (black route)
-The Saronic Gulf (green route)
-The Sporades (red route)

▪️From Corfu to Palermo : October 11th – 18th 2025 – 430 miles

On November 11th we leave Gibraltar and set sail toward Madeira. Madeira is our skipper preferred island in the Atlantic. We will stay one day in Madeira and then head toward Las Palmas, which we will reach on November 17th.
The following week is spent in Las Palmas preparing the boat for the Atlantic crossing. The ARC organization verifies we have all the safety and communication gears on board for this major navigation across the north Atlantic. This is also an opportunity to meet fellow sailors, make friends and meet our future competitors. It is also a good time for our guests to join the Avel Vaez and learn how this all works!
On November 23, the ARC rally starts from Las Palmas. Around 150 boats take part each year. Some are real racing boats. Avel Vaez is competing in the multihull category and should finish in the top three in real time!
The “hurricane” season starts on June 1st and finishes on December 1st each year. During this period, tropical depressions crossing the Atlantic between the equator and the Cancer tropic does not allow safe sailing in the area of the Caribbeans. The season is therefore from December to March. The weather is mostly ideal for sailing, warm and nice breeze.
We will offer you several options of unforgettable cruises in the Caribbeans:
▪️North cruise – 7 – 10 – 14 days
▪️South cruise – 7 – 10 – 14 days
Avel Vaez is often taking part in competitive events, such as the ARC and RORC races.

▪️ AEGEAN 600, 2025 edition, will depart from Sounio, Greece, on July 6. Our professional crew and passengers will sail a non-stop loop of around 605 nautical miles in the Cyclades.
