how long to cross the atlantic in a yacht
Sailing Yacht. Roughly 5,000 sailors cross the Atlantic Ocean by yacht each year in the winter months, with the voyage taking around three weeks. However, the record from Ambrose Lighthouse, New York, to the Lizard, UK, stands at a staggering three days 15 hours. Even if sailors cross as part of a fleet, participating in events such as the World Cruising Club's Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, they must be experienced and knowledgeable.
