Gibraltar - Tunis
*updated add*
I can take one extra person (or a couple), for part of the trip from Spain to Tunisia.
It's not delivery, rather easy costal sailing mostly with lots of stopovers for sightseeing. I'd like this to be fun and not tiring trip, highlights include Málaga, cabo de gata, formentera, minorca, sardegna, stromboli, lipari, sicily and Malta.
Boat is custom made Swedish steel sloop with bowsorit and swimming platform at he back.
Its old but very strong build and safe. Plan is to make general refit in Tunisia after enjoyable Mediterranean cruise.
I have ll safety equipment on board which isn't really essential for this kind of sailing but I was for ocean crossing. Boat has radar, sonar, ais, epirb, chart plottier, up to date life raft for 4 person, dingy, garmin inreach and even navtex. I also have 80m chain for anchor which gives lots of freedom to anchor practically everywhere.

Avoid !
Please avoid even thinking of joining his boat. From the beginning as we agreed that I will sleep in the side bed, when I reached the boat in tromso he put me a lot In pressure that I should sleep with him front bed and I never accepted. Continuing this trip on this crazy boat was a mistake from my side. They were 3 polish man, 1 French and me in the boat. 3 polish man were all the time drunk the way that they couldn’t even stand or walk, they carried more alcohol than water ! Something like more than 60 L which is even illegal in Norway. 2 of the polish men, skipper and his friend all the time abused me verbally. Very rude and very sexist and racist. He made me cry many nights in boat. In Ny-Ålesund Skipper pushed me from the stairs of boat and he hit one of the crew as well that’s why I came on deck and loudly said help help help and King bays stuffs who are taking care of Ny-Ålesund! Came to pick us and saved us from the boat! French guy is witness as well ! I didn’t pay 400 euro not 650 ! That he mentioned in his written review ! Why you lie again !? I didn’t pay because of all troubles that he made for me. He destroyed my vocation. Me and another crew member escaped from this boat in Ny-Ålesund and bought a 400 € flight back to longerbyen and then paid for hotels so expensive in longerbyen until our booked flight. He has to pay us for all this issues that he made. And lastly the police of longerbyen informed me that you are sailing illegally in Svalbard and he had to inform us about this ! He also turned off his. He made me to have an awful experience of sailing and Svalbard. He made me to have a very bad feelings about sailing in any other time.
