Moondance Expeditions (former Sailing Taxi) came into being in 2014. Back then, it was just a name, a dream, a plan.

In 2016 they bought their first boat and in 2019 the crew completed their first voyage around the Atlantic Ocean, reaching their goal of traveling with the wind for over 2 years and 17,000 nautical miles.
