Sailors can be at sea for varying lengths of time depending on the type of voyage and mission. Commercial sailors on cargo ships might spend several weeks to months at sea, while naval sailors may be deployed for several months to even a year. Fishing crews typically have shorter trips, often lasting a few days to a couple of weeks. Ultimately, the duration at sea is influenced by the specific requirements of the journey and the vessel's schedule.

During the 18th and early 19th century, after long periods at sea, sailors were afflicted by a condition known as scurvy. It was eventually discovered that this condition was caused by a lack of vitamin C during long sea voyages. To cure the problem, British sailors were given a ration of limes. American sailors were amused by this and started calling the British sailors Limeys which quickly spread to British people in general.

Sailors in the Royal Navy typically serve at sea for several months at a time, with deployments usually lasting between six to nine months. However, this can vary depending on the specific mission, operational requirements, and the type of vessel. After a deployment, sailors often have a period of leave before returning to sea. The rotation schedule aims to balance time at sea with time spent on shore.
