About forty sailing ships cast off in Lanzarote (Canary Islands) last November. The Atlantic Odyssey is an annual transatlantic rally. The next Atlantic Odyssey will leave the island of La Palma on 8 January 2015 and will also finish in Martinique.

The Atlantic Odyssey will be welcomed in Martinique by the Port du Marin marina.
