Puerto de la Duquesa on the 13th of July 2025.
The short animation below takes you from Sotogrande Marina, heading north-east to Puerto de la Duquesa. Generated by TravelBoast.

Although hot on land, the sea air can get humid and chilly, especially around sunset. For your own comfort, we recommend bringing a warm jumper or jacket.

Please bring proper shoes with white, rubber soles. The deck is slippery when wet and we wish to avoid any accidents. If the weather is warm enough, barefoot is a good option.

We have life vests for those not feeling too comfortable aboard, also for small kids and medium sized pets.

If you wish to let your family and friends know where you are sailing, they can follow you by searching for TEALIE on
VesselFinder or by clicking on
MarineTraffic.
Motion sickness is the worst, especially wobbling on a sailboat with no immediate escape. However, if you tend to get motion sick, don't worry, there are some precautions to take before and during the trip.
BEFORE THE TRIP

Check with your doctor or pharmasist which medicines or patches to be recommended. The adhesive patch is put behind your ear a few hours before boarding. We have pills and wrist bracelets if needed.

Buy a pack of lozenges, preferably something with ginger.

Do not eat a big meal before boarding.

Lay of alcohol, caffeine and drink lots of water.

Bring a distraction - like music with headphones.
DURING THE TRIP

If you brought music, listen to it as it might add some distraction.

Find a better spot. Many find relief by taking the helm.

Lie down if you can, keep your head still, shut your eyes or follow the horizon. Whatever is best for you.

We will provide something salty, like chips or crackers, green apples, i.e. Granny Smith, anything with ginger, i.e. lozenges.

Drink ginger ale or ginger tea, Coca-Cola, the real stuff.
If nothing of the above helps, we will give you a bucket and head back to Sotogrande.
