Fécamp, nestled in the heart of the Alabaster Coast, is a port city steeped in seafaring tradition. Once the capital of the cod fishing industry and home to generations of intrepid sailors, it remains a symbol of France’s deep connection to the sea. Surrounded by striking chalk cliffs and marked by the rhythm of tides, Fécamp offers an authentic setting where maritime heritage and natural beauty come together.


Though smaller than major commercial ports, Fécamp stands out for its charm, history, and ideal position along the Channel. It is a harbor of stories and resilience — a place where sailors prepare to cross oceans and reconnect with the essential. As it welcomes vessels like Anemos, Fécamp proudly embodies a quieter, more sustainable vision of maritime trade, one rooted in purpose and respect for the environment.

Pointe-à-Pitre, gateway to the Caribbean, is home to the Grand Port Maritime de la Guadeloupe — a vibrant hub where tropical trade winds and global routes meet. Steeped in colonial and maritime history, the port reflects the island’s enduring role as a crossroads between Europe, the Americas, and Africa.

Surrounded by mangroves and coral-rich waters, the port is more than an economic lifeline — it is a symbol of island resilience and cultural richness. While it handles the essential flows of goods for the archipelago, it also opens its quays to a new kind of navigation — one that honors the wind, the ocean, and the future.

As vessels under sail dock in Pointe-à-Pitre, the Grand Port Maritime becomes a bridge between tradition and transition — a place where the Caribbean’s past and a low-carbon future converge under the sun.

Departure from Fécamp

A clear morning, a light breeze in the rigging — and Anemos sets sail. From the historic port of Fécamp, long a cradle of daring sailors and Atlantic crossings, our wind-powered cargo vessel embarks on its maiden voyage to Guadeloupe, carrying goods, hopes, and a new way of navigating the world.

It’s a scene of quiet revolution: gulls still wheel above the docks, but now it’s carbon sails that take the wind.

Heading out to sea

Just past the Channel, Anemos fills her sails with a steady westerly wind. The open ocean lies ahead, and the pace of crossing begins.

Full sail, open sea

Only wind and waves can be heard. Anemos moves with grace, carried by the trade winds.

Heading offshore

A strikingly calm sea and a hushed deck — broken only by the wind filling the sails. On board, there’s a quiet appreciation of the moment, somewhere between sky and ocean.

Twilight at sea

The sun sinks into the Atlantic, casting golden hues across the quiet deck.

A mahi-mahi on deck

“Couldn’t be better — pure happiness… Ocean blue. The crew is amazing. First catch for me today with help from two crew members.”
A beautiful mahi-mahi brought aboard, in the company of a smiling crew. The simple joy of a first catch, somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic.

Waters don’t lie

The blue deepens, turns crystalline. There’s no mistaking it now — the Caribbean is near. The crew knows it, and the ocean seems to say it too.

Landfall

ANEMOS has completed her first crossing to Guadeloupe. After three weeks at sea, the schooner sails into the Grand Port Maritime of Guadeloupe. A powerful moment, filled with pride and emotion for crew and passengers alike.
Thank you to all who followed this voyage — onward to the next crossings!
