Tucked along the Gulf of Honduras, Santo Tomás de Castilla is one of Guatemala’s most important ports — a vibrant maritime hub at the crossroads of lush jungles and mountainous hinterlands. Born as a colonial outpost and later transformed into a strategic cargo gateway, the port has evolved into a key connector between Central America and the wider world.

Sheltered by the Amatique Bay, the harbor is known for its calm anchorage, efficient infrastructure, and increasing focus on sustainability. With tropical forest at its doorstep and Mayan heritage woven into the region’s identity, Santo Tomás de Castilla offers a striking contrast between modern logistics and ancestral landscapes.

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.

📍 Santo Tomás de Castilla

Sails hoisted, wind at her back, ANEMOS sets sail again.
From the lush coasts of Guatemala, the sailing cargo ship begins her transatlantic crossing to Fécamp. On board, cargo from Central America and a crew who are getting back into the rhythm of the open sea.

The atmosphere on deck is electric: a light swell, faces turned towards the horizon, and the sharp snap of sails opening in the trade winds.

Heading northeast, between the Atlantic, stopovers and the promise of a committed return.

18.06.2025

Sun on the horizon, course set for Europe

Each day at sea brings its own rhythm. On June 18th, ANEMOS sails under a clear sky, the sun gently dipping toward the horizon — a calm and golden moment in the middle of the Atlantic.

A peaceful pause in the journey, where time seems to slow and the ocean stretches endlessly ahead.

19.06.2025

Full sails, steady winds

The trade winds are with us. On June 19th, ANEMOS advances gracefully under full sail — a timeless image of maritime transport, powered by nothing but the wind.

With each gust, we edge closer to Europe, charting a clean, quiet path across the Atlantic.

20.06.2025

Sunlight and steel

A warm shimmer on the boom, a gentle roll beneath our feet — life onboard settles into rhythm.
Under the sun’s gaze, the crew and cargo move as one, carried by wind and water toward Fécamp.

21.06.2025

A token of friendship

As we sail back across the Atlantic, a special plaque offered by the Port of Santo Tomás de Castilla reminds us of the bonds forged on land.
Marked with words of appreciation and hopes for fraternal unity, it now travels with us — a symbol of the friendships that transcend oceans.

25.06.2025

Evening light, full sails

The day draws to a close under full sail. The Atlantic breathes calmly, and Anemos moves forward with quiet determination.

27.06.2025

Chasing winds, chasing light

As Anemos sails near the legendary Newfound Seamounts — 78.58 nautical miles away — the wind maps light up with arrows and promise.
Above deck, the sky is painted in hues of orange and gold. Another day fades at sea, under good winds and soft light.

28.06.2025

Golden silence

The ocean breathes quietly under a burning sky.
As the sun dips below the horizon, only the sound of water against the hull remains.
Anemos keeps her course — steady, serene.

29.06.2025

11 knots through squalls

Anemos surfs the Atlantic at 11 knots, weaving between squalls — salt on the deck, spray on the faces.
In the distance, a giant silhouette: the Queen Mary 2, headed full speed toward New York.
Two ships, two eras, one ocean.

08.07.2025

Landfall in Fécamp

After days at sea, Anemos makes landfall in Fécamp — her sails now furled, her cargo delivered, her crew safe and smiling.
A first round-trip crossing between Europe and Central America complete.
More than a voyage: a signal sent across the Atlantic.
