The Arksen Middle Sea Rally starts in Athens. From here, the Rally will cruise Turkey and the Greek Islands, soaking up culture while exploring. They will then cruise the coast of Croatia and the Dalmatian Coast, reaching Venice.
Malta and Sicily will be an unusual take on the Western Med, giving ample opportunity for a slightly more unique experience as these Islands are not often given the spotlight they deserve from regular Med charters.
We spend the last month of the Middle Sea Rally cruising Sardinia and Corsica. Enjoying the wonderful restaurants and experiences, as well as some more adrenaline packed days to earn them.
The Middle Sea Rally will climax by sailing into Monaco, timed to coincide with the Yacht Show, gaining charter vessels, Arksen, PELORUS and The Explorer Rally some excellent publicity and event opportunities.
For vessels coming from, or heading to the Indian Ocean, we also have the option to take part in world first challenges in Eritrea and the Sudanese Atolls, either ahead of or after the main rally.
Middle Sea Conservation Opportunities
On this, the shortest rally in the Arksen Explorer Rally Series, there will be conservation opportunities in some of the areas and some ongoing research each vessel can take part in whilst the Rally goes on.
- Work with local fisheries to encourage sustainable fishing
- Habitat mapping in Greece to help protect the endangered monk seal
- Turtle conservation in Turkey
- Ocean current mapping
- Ghost nets – smaller vessels will search and geotag ghost nets and the larger vessels will assist in collection. Research will then be undertaken to understand where the nets were released and how they can be prevented in the future
- Seabird rescue and rehabilitation in Corsica
- Tagging loggerhead turtles
- Bluefin tuna larval surveys
- Documenting undersea life
