Starting from Saint Lucia and Australia, World ARC is the voyage of a lifetime. A 26000 NM tradewind circumnavigation with our team in every port ensuring a warm welcome.
World ARC is a mix of cruising in company and free time to explore. Make a full circumnavigation or sail half a rally. The pace keeps the fleet together, enjoying the shore-side activities as a group, while staying with the best weather. Families with children, retirees or a ‘grown up gap year’ - all are welcome as part of World ARC. Our dedicated rally team ensure you make the most of your time ashore, and provide peace of mind at sea.
“Bill and I will remember this trip every day of our lives. It has been a life changing experience”

However, there is no doubt that the leg will be...

The World ARC 2022-23 enjoying Grenada.
23/03/2023
Popularly known as BBC Beach, this amazingly calm bay of 400 yards of white sand, played backdrop to our glorious lazy beach day. We dined on delicious chicken roti and jerk fish tacos all washed down with ice cold Carib, the local beer and rich fruit juices. There was more than enough time to swim, stroll and even take an after-lunch nap under the sea almond trees. On Wednesday morning,...

TESTIMONIALS
World ARC has been so worthwhile and terrific value for money. You have a brilliant support team and they all do their jobs so efficiently. At the official stop-overs, Paul and Suzana were always waiting on the dock to take our lines, whatever the time of day or night and Paul was great at organising people to come and fix Tzigane. We would never have contemplated a trip like this without an organised rally. World ARC too has provided great parties and get-togethers.
John & Jenny Greenwood, sy Tzigane
It was the trip of a lifetime. Many thanks to World ARC and its personnel who made this possible.
