UPDATE: we relocated the boat to Faro, Portugal! We are currently taking a break and will be able to host again in early spring 2026.
We'll try to answer every message, please forgive delays as we are quite busy and receive many requests. Thanks for your understanding 😊
***
We (Nico, Belgium & Julia, Spain) are currently renovating a 51ft (16m) aluminium schooner (built 1983) to conduct marine environmental research.
In 2023/2024 we replaced the standing rigging and did important transformations to the deck. In autumn 2024 we placed the windows and disassembled the lifting keel. In 2025 we rebuilt the keel and the steering, installed water systems, and completed the outside work. We then sailed the boat on her maiden journey out of the Mediterranean.
Nico is a sailor and environmental scientist specialised in ecosystem restoration. Julia is a molecular biologist specialised in proteomics as well as an artist and science illustrator.
We have already hosted more than twenty volunteers on this project, and hope many are still to join!Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

We will be happy to teach you about boat renovation (rigging, metal & wood work, systems, electrics,...) . If you have sailing experience we are happy to practise and improve on this together.
Ayuda
We are looking for help with many tasks including painting,insulation, carpentry, placing cables and pipes.
We welcome anyone with or without experience who feels comfortable helping on a boat around noisy tools and machines. We also welcome your creative thoughts for designing a brand new boat. You'll have loads of autonomy on your own tasks if you have building experience, or we'll guide you step by step if not.
We typically work mornings (8 am until 1pm) with stops for coffee breaks. We expect you to help with boat building 5h per day from Monday to Friday, plus the occasional extra shared help with household chores (cooking, cleaning up, perhaps some help bringing back groceries).
We are asking for a minimal/initial stay of two weeks, and if it feels right you are welcome to stay longer too.Idiomas hablados

The sailboat is both our working place, living place and sleeping quarters. We have one stern cabin for volunteers, accommodating two max (suitable for one person or for a couple), as well as a saloon bunk, accomodating one person. Please be aware that there will be very little privacy, the cabin walls are only temporary and the doors are not built yet.
We are both vegan, and put great effort in cooking. We'll provide vegan breakfasts, lunches and dinners. We expect you to take part in cooking and help with the daily chores.Algo más...
We typically take 2 volunteers at a time, and we look forward to meet people from all over the world.
However we will only take volunteers who can travel to and from us using low emission transport (train, bus, etc...). We are committed to keep the carbon budget of the project as low as practically possible. Travel to the boat is one of the largest potential emission sources, so we encourage you to do the right thing in this climate emergency and embrace slow travel!
We play the piano, the guitar and sing. Musicians are warmly welcome.
Please also note that we only accept non-smokers.Un poco más de información
